About 8 years ago, the FERS program changed.  The first wave was to put new employees into FERS-RAE and then subsequent employees into FERS-FRAE.  That's a manual entry by HR and mistakes happen.  If I were to poll my office on the spot, I'd guess that 75% or more have no idea what program they are in, what the difference is, or what HR is supposed to be withholding. I bet a lot of people would have no idea what FERS is in the first place.  In those first couple years there were tons of issues with people getting put into the wrong FERS program through no fault of their own (that entry is solely done by HR so it has nothing to do with filling out a form wrong).

When I switched fed jobs years ago, my former agency's HR walked me through all the items to look for in my first E&L and FERS was at the top of the list. My new agency's HR was still incorrectly coding FERS in 2018, particularly for new federal employees who were eligible for original FERS based on service in Americorps or Peace Corps. I don't recall the agency refunding the extra contributions, however.[/quote]
