Print This PostOPM issued a “Benefits Administration Letter,” number 16-102, announcing that “effective immediately, we will not accept corrections (scratch-outs, white-outs, line-outs, or any other type of correction actions) in the named Sections on the following forms. New forms must be completed in lieu of any alterations to previously entered information.”
A manually corrected retirement application could delay disbursement of the applicant’s annuity and lump sum payments. Most of the new forms are PDF and the information can be reentered on your desk or laptop computers. Unfortunately, in many cases, you can’t save completed fill-in forms.
