Q. I have been in CSRS for 30 years as a Veterans Affairs Department employee. The first 24 years, I had a 5/8 VA appointment, the last six, I have been 8/8. For CSRS annuity purposes, do the part-time years count as 24 years or 5/8 of 24 years?
A. You’ll get full credit for that time in determining your total years of service. However, your annuity will be prorated to account for that period of part-time service.
