move on which the election under this paragraph
is based and before the effective date of the elec-
tion, exceeds the total amounts required to be

Service Retirement and Disability Fund.
(iii) QUALIFYING NAFI SERVICE.—For purposes of
this subparagraph, the term ‘‘qualifying NAFI service’’

RETIREMENT SYSTEM PURPOSES.—Any qualifying NAFI

shall not be creditable for purposes of any retirement
system referred to in clause (iii).

graph shall be subject to requirements, similar to those
set forth in subparagraph (C), to ensure that—
(I) appropriate transfers of individual and
Government contributions are made to the Civil

fits under FERS attributable to service made cred-
itable by such election is fully funded.

PARTICIPATING IN A NAFI RETIREMENT SYSTEM.—
(i) APPLICABILITY.—This subparagraph applies
with respect to any individual who—
(I) is then currently participating in any retire-
ment system established for employees described
in section 2105(c) of title 5, United States Code
(in this subparagraph referred to as a ‘‘NAFI
retirement system’’); and
(II) would then otherwise be eligible to make

of this paragraph (determined disregarding the
matter in subclause (I) of subparagraph (B) before
the first semicolon therein) based on a move from

(i) may, instead of making an election for which such

of monies in order for an election under this
subparagraph to be effective.

WELL.—Under
regulations prescribed by the appropriate adminis-
trative authority, an individual making an election
under this subparagraph may further elect to have
the qualifying FERS service made creditable for
computation purposes under a NAFI retirement
system, but only if the individual pays or arranges
to pay, at a time and in a manner satisfactory
to such administrative authority, the amount nec-
essary to fully fund the actuarial present value
of future benefits under the NAFI retirement sys-
tem attributable to the qualifying FERS service.

shall include provisions under which any individual—
(A) shall, upon request, be provided information or
