of the Office of the Treasury Inspector General for Tax
Administration.--During the period from October 1, 1999 through January
1, 2003, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration is
authorized to offer voluntary separation incentives in order to provide
the necessary flexibility to carry out the plan to establish and
reorganize the Office of the Treasury Inspector General for Tax
Administration (referred to in this section as the ``Office'').
(b) Definition.--In this section, the term ``employee'' means an
employee (as defined by 5 U.S.C. 2105) who is employed by the Office
serving under an appointment without time limitation, and has been
currently employed by the Office or the Internal Revenue Service or the
Office of Inspector General of the Department of the Treasury for a
continuous period of at least 3 years, but does not include--
(1) a reemployed annuitant under subchapter III of chapter 83
or chapter 84 of title 5, United States Code, or another retirement
system;
(2) an employee having a disability on the basis of which such
employee is or would be eligible for disability retirement under
the applicable retirement system referred to in paragraph (1);
(3) an employee who is in receipt of a specific notice of
involuntary separation for misconduct or unacceptable performance;
(4) an employee who has previously received any voluntary
separation incentive payment by the Federal Government under this
section or any other authority and has not repaid such payment;
(5) an employee covered by statutory reemployment rights who is
on transfer to another organization; or
(6) any employee who, during the 24-month period preceding the
date of separation, has received a recruitment or relocation bonus

U.S.C. 5754.
(c) Authority To Provide Voluntary Separation Incentive Payments.--

Administration may pay voluntary separation incentive payments
under this section to any employee to the extent necessary to
organize the Office so as to perform the duties specified in the
Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998
(Public Law 105-206).
(2) Amount and treatment of payments.--A voluntary separation
incentive payment--
(A) shall be paid in a lump sum after the employee's
separation;
(B) shall be paid from appropriations available for the
payment of the basic pay of the employees of the Office;
(C) shall be equal to the lesser of--
(i) an amount equal to the amount the employee would be
entitled to receive under 5 U.S.C. 5595(c); or
(ii) an amount determined by the Treasury Inspector
General for Tax Administration, not to exceed $25,000;
(D) may not be made except in the case of any qualifying
employee who voluntarily separates (whether by retirement or
resignation) before January 1, 2003;
(E) shall not be a basis for payment, and shall not be
included in the computation, of any other type of Government
benefit; and
(F) shall not be taken into account in determining the
amount of any severance pay to which the employee may be
entitled under 5 U.S.C. 5595 based on any other separation.
(d) Additional Office of the Treasury Inspector General for Tax
Administration Contributions to the Retirement Fund.--
(1) In general.--In addition to any other payments which it is
required to make under subchapter III of chapter 83 or chapter 84
of title 5, United States Code, the Office shall remit to the

Disability Fund an amount equal to 15 percent of the final basic
pay of each employee who is covered under subchapter III of chapter
83 or chapter 84 of title 5, United States Code, to whom a
voluntary separation incentive has been paid under this section.
(2) Definition.--In paragraph (1), the term ``final basic
pay'', with respect to an employee, means the total amount of basic
pay which would be payable for a year of service by such employee,
computed using the employee's final rate of basic pay, and, if last
serving on other than a full-time basis, with appropriate
adjustment therefor.
(e) Effect of Subsequent Employment With the Government.--An
individual who has received a voluntary separation incentive payment
under this section and accepts any employment for compensation with the

the entire amount of the incentive payment to the Office.
(f) Effect on Office of the Treasury Inspector General for Tax
Administration Employment Levels.--
(1) Intended effect.--Voluntary separations under this section
are not intended to necessarily reduce the total number of full-
time equivalent positions in the Office.
(2) Use of voluntary separations.--The Office may redeploy or
use the full-time equivalent positions vacated by voluntary
separations under this section to make other positions available to
more critical locations or more critical occupations.
