Summary
The new Division Form:
FRS-11o (IFAS) was created to remove the existing retirement option election (FRS-11o (IFAS)) incorporated on the reverse of the IF-11 form and establishes it as a form unto itself. The notary block was reformatted.
The revised Division Form:
The IF-11 was revised by removing the retirement option election from the form, adding the rule reference and pagination to the bottom left of each page. The Division’s address was updated, the Division’s toll free number was added and the Suncom number was deleted from the header of the instructional page of the document and the amended header was added to the form page. The acronym, I.F.A.S. in the header, was expanded.
On the instructional page of the IF-11 a new paragraph 2., was inserted which references the completion of the FRS-11o (IFAS) as a requirement for retirement and deletes paragraph 4., which referenced the completion of the option selection on the application. Existing paragraphs 2. and 3., were renumbered 3. and 4. Renumbered paragraph 3’s second sentence added “legible photocopies of” for clarification and a new subparagraph f. was added to include “Certificate of Naturalization” as an acceptable form of birth date verification and the existing paragraph f. was renumbered as g. Subparagraph (1) of paragraph g., replaces word “giving” with “showing,” and adds in parenthetical the words “limit one” for clarification. Subparagraph (4) of paragraph g., adds “is required” to the first sentence for clarification. Paragraphs 5. and 6 were added for clarification. Paragraph 5. references the completion of the FST-12 form when designating more than one primary beneficiary and paragraph 6. references the application for direct deposit.
On the Form page of the IF-11, the document was reformatted to coincide with the format on the FR-11. The statement regarding Electronic Funds Transfer was deleted as this was incorporated on the instructional page of the document. The Notary Block was reformatted.
