Q: Our base is about to undergo a Reduction in Force. I retired from the Air force Reserve and I’m a retired civil service employee due to the fact I was in the Air Force Technician Program. When I turned 60, I was forced to retire. I am receiving an annuity and have been re-employed. Would my service computation date still help me keep my job, or would I end up at the bottom of the list since I am a re-employed, rehired annuitant?
A: As a re-employed annuitant, you are an “at will” employee. This means you can be released at any time and for any reason. Your service computation date wouldn’t protect you because, as a re-employed annuitant, you would have the lowest retention standing.
