Instructions
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) requires you as a Federal retiree who is under age 60 during the survey year
and receiving disability benefits to provide information if you had income from wages or self-employment during 2020. By
law, you may earn money from working while also receiving disability benefits, providing your income from wages and
self-employment is less than 80% of the current rate of pay for the position from which you retired.
If your earned income during 2020 met or exceeded the 80% limitation, you are considered to be "restored to
earning capacity" and we will discontinue your disability benefits effective June 30, 2021. If this should happen,
we will notify you in writing before your final disability payment is sent. We will also notify you at that time if you are
eligible for an immediate non-disability retirement or a deferred retirement.
Do you need to complete and return this form within 30 Days? Yes
Please report the AMOUNT of WAGES and/or NET EARNINGS from SELF EMPLOYMENT for 2020.
Please report this income if you have done the following:
Worked and earned money after retiring from Federal Service,
Or

Were reemployed by the Federal government and are still employed.
*** Even if you did not have WAGES or NET EARNINGS FROM SELF EMPLOYMENT,
please complete block number 1 with zeros.
What Does The Term "Earned Income" Mean?
1. Any salary or pay you received working for someone else (including overtime, vacation pay, bonuses, and
severance pay, etc.)
2. If you are self-employed, any net profit you made from working or managing your own business.
3. Deferred income (income you earned but didn't receive during this calendar year).
4. If you are reemployed in Federal service, the gross income before your employing agency offsets your salary.
Generally, all income subject to Federal employment taxes or self-employment is considered earned income. It is
on any W-2 statement issued by your employer. DO NOT INCLUDE MONEY EARNED BEFORE YOU RETIRED.
Not Considered Earned Income
Income reported on form 1099, such as Civil Service Retirement benefits, annuities, pensions, Social Security benefits,
Veteran's benefits, and military retired pay, withdrawals from 401K plans, unemployment compensation, workers'
compensation, interest and dividends from savings accounts, stocks, personal loans, or home mortgages held,
insurance proceeds, gifts, inheritances, estates, trusts, endowments, prizes, awards, gambling or lottery winnings,
alimony/child support, scholarships or fellowships, pay for jury duty, capital gains from the sale of personal property,
amounts received in court actions, and rents or royalties UNLESS received in the course of your trade or business.
