How can I get OPM to give me my current insurable interest benefit? My ex wife will receive a survivor annuity and my current wife will also receive an annuity from my elected insurable interest. OPM says their computer can only show one survivor annuity (my ex wife). If I write they never answer! Blocked by moderator

I do not know how you can get OPM to do anything! However, Chapter 50 of the CSRS FERS Handbook provides the formula for calculating both benefits. I will try the summarize generically and hopefully this will help give you an idea of who gets what. Here is the link to that chapter: https://www.opm.gov/retirement-services/publications-forms/csrsfers-handbook/c050.pdf It is impossible to respond with specifics as the court order might dictate something for which I have no knowledge of.

<p>Thank you Ms Lumsden but that does not answer the question. When I retired in 2008 I elected an insurable interest for my current spouse. In 2011 I received an email from OPM stating that the insurable interest payout would be $3218 per month. That was 6 years ago. I want to know the CURRENT payout.</p>

I am able to answer your specific question as OPM adjudicates these and I have no way to access your records. I am more than willing to work with you on this outside of this forum. I have responded to you via your direct email to me. Blocked by moderator
<p>Thank you. I have also sent you an email. At least you reply to emails. That is more than i ever get from OPM.</p>

Stan, if your insurable interest annuity amount was $3218 per month in 2011 and you are FERS, then your pension was approximately $5851 before the cost of your survivor benefits are applied…does that sound correct? Blocked by moderator
