Exceeding the limit

0

Q: What happens to my civil service retirement benefits if I exceed the cumulative five-year LWOP-US limit set by USERRA?

A: Assuming that you had at least five years of creditable civilian service and left your retirement contributions in the fund, you would be eligible for a deferred annuity at age 62. If you had as many as 20, you’d be eligible at age 60.
