Q. I am a full-time Air National Guard technician. I have decided to retire from the military after 22 years of service. I have only 10 years as a full-time federal technician under the FERS system. In order for me to keep my full-time position, I must be in the Air National Guard. After my military retirement, I will have to resign my full-time position. Will I be eligible for unemployment benefits?
A. The rules for unemployment compensation vary from state to state. You’ll have to check with your own state’s unemployment office.
