Medical disqualification

0

Q. I will be 52 and have 29 years of technician service (32 years National Guard) under FERS. If I was diagnosed with a medical condition that ended my military career, would I be eligible for the non-reduced pension/Social
Security Offset/ and access to my TSP, since I have 25 years, I am age 50 and would be losing my military position through no fault of my own?
A. You would be entitled to a discontinued service retirement, which wouldn’t be subject to the 5 percent per year penalty for being under age 62. Further, you would be immediately eligible for the special retirement supplement.
