- Box 9 -the total after tax money you contributed.
- Box 9 is blank - find your OPM annuity statement from when you retired

- Annuity start date is the first month you received your annuity benefit.
- Age at start date- when you got your first check
- If joint/ survivor - need age on that date as well
