A method has been formulated to calculate auto-ionization rates by perturbation theory with no internal inconsistencies. Calculations have been carried out in (2s)²¹S He, (2s, 2p)1,3P He, (1s, 2s, 2p)⁴P5/2 Li, and (1s, 2s, 2p)²P_± Li. The applicability of this formulation, as well as how it differs from previous perturbation methods, is discussed.
