    covered by chapter 83 or 84 or subchapter I or II of chapter 8 \1\

    (b)(1) Each covered person may contribute to the Thrift Savings 
Fund, in accordance with this subsection, an amount not to exceed the 
amount described in paragraph (2).
    (2) The maximum amount which a covered person may contribute under 
paragraph (1) is equal to--
        (A) the total amount of all contributions under section 
    8351(b)(2) or 8432(a), as applicable, which the person would have 
    made over the period beginning on the date of transfer of the person 
    (as described in subsection (a)(1)) and ending on the day before the 
    date of reemployment of the person (as described in subsection 
    (a)(3)), minus
        (B) the total amount of all contributions, if any, under section 
    8351(b)(2) or 8432(a), as applicable, actually made by the person 
    over the period described in subparagraph (A).

    (3) Contributions under paragraph (1)--
        (A) shall be made at the same time and in the same manner as 
    would any contributions under section 8351(b)(2) or 8432(a), as 
    applicable;
        (B) shall be made over the period of time specified by the

    make contributions under this subsection.

    (c) If a covered person who makes contributions under section 
8432(a) makes contributions under subsection (b), the agency employing 
the person shall make those contributions to the Thrift Savings Fund on 
the person's behalf in the same manner as contributions are made for an 
employee described in section 8432b(a) under sections 8432b(c), 
8432b(d), and 8432b(f). Amounts paid under this subsection shall be paid 
in the same manner as amounts are paid under section 8432b(g).
    (d) For purposes of any computation under this section, a covered 
person shall, with respect to the period described in subsection 
(b)(2)(A), be considered to have been paid at the rate which would have 
been payable over such period had the person remained continuously 
employed in the position that the person last held before transferring 
to the international organization.
    (e) For purposes of section 8432(g), a covered person shall be 
credited with a period of civilian service equal to the period beginning 
on the date of transfer of the person (as described in subsection
