The Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) originated in 1920 and has provided retirement, disability and survivor benefits for most civilian employees in the US Federal government. Upon the creation of a new Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) in 1987, those hired after that date cannot participate in CSRS. CSRS continues to provide retirement benefits to those eligible to receive them.
