Betty June Thomas, Petitioner, v. Office of Personnel Management, Respondent, 878 F.2d 1446 (Fed. Cir. 1989)
Annotate this CaseBefore MARKEY, Chief Judge, and MAYER and MICHEL, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
DECISION
The decision of the Merit Systems Protection Board (board), No. SF08318810577, affirming the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) reconsideration decision denying Betty June Thomas' (Thomas') application for a survivor annuity, is affirmed.
OPINION
The board correctly affirmed OPM's reconsideration decision regardless of whether pre- or post-CSRSEA law controls. Pre-CSRSEA law is unavailing, Thomas having neither been named as a beneficiary or securing entitlement in a divorce decree or agreement. See 5 U.S.C. § 8341 (Supp.1971, 1974, 1980). Post-CSRSEA law is likewise unavailing, 5 C.F.R. Sec. 831.622(a) (1) (iii) conditioning eligibility, inter alia, upon former spouses not remarrying before reaching age fifty-five.
