Q: I receive a FERS annuity, military retirement and in four months will be eligible to receive Social Security at age 62. Will my Social Security be reduced due to the windfall elimination provision?
A: No, the windfall elimination provision only applies to retirees who are receiving an annuity from a retirement system where they didn’t pay Social Security taxes, such as CSRS. Neither the military retirement system nor the FERS system fit that definition.

Q: I will eventually receive a FERS annuity, military retirement and when eligible, I will apply for my Social Security benefits. Will my Social Security be reduced?
No, you aren’t. However, you can obtain that coverage by paying $411 a month in 2016 ($413 in 2017). To learn how to do that, go to https://www.medicare.gov/sign-up-change-plans/index.html.
Please delete the e-mail I just sent you. It was intended for someone else. Now to your question. No, your Social Seucirty benefit won’t be reduced.
Hello, I will retire from the military this year with 25 years of service and I will be 100% disabled. My question is, I will turn 60 before I retire separate from the military. How soon can I file for SS# compensation once I turn six. I will wait on your respond.
