3. Lump Sum Refund of Voluntary Contributions (VC)
Use this form to elect how you want your lump sum paid. Please carefully read all of the information provided with this form before you
make your election. A mistake in completing this form could prevent the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) from paying as you wish
or could cause delay in processing your payment.
Payment options — (Please check one option.)
Pay my VC refund on the date I separate for retirement.
Pay my VC refund as soon as possible.
Rollover Options — (Please tell us how to pay your contributions and interest by checking the blocks
below.)
If your VC refund is less than $200, we cannot roll it over. We will pay it directly to you. Indicate below how you wish to have your VC refund
paid if it is $200 or more. If you elect to roll over less than 100% of your VC refund, the total amount you roll over to any one IRA or eligible
employer plan must be at least $500. If any choice you make below results in a rollover amount of less than $500, we will not perform the
rollover. Instead, we will make the payment to you. To avoid this situation, you may check the last block and ask for additional information.
(Make one choice in each section below, unless you need additional information. If you need additional information before making this
election, check the block in the last section.)

rollover is made may be subject to different restrictions and tax consequences than those that apply to distributions from OPM. I also
understand that if I roll over non-taxable funds into an IRA, I am responsible to account separately for the taxable and non-taxable
portions of the amount rolled over.
