(1)The date the principal would qualify for an annuity (other than a disability annuity) on the basis of his/her creditable service;
(2)The date the disability annuity begins; or
(3)The first of the month in which the divorce becomes final.
(b)The pension of a former spouse and the right thereto terminate on:
(1)The last day of the month before the former spouse dies or remarries before 60 years of age; or
(2)The date the annuity of the former participant terminates unless the termination results from recall, reappointment or reinstatement in the Foreign Service or reemployment in Government service.
