Social Security supplement

Q. Can people who retired under the Civil Service Retirement System get the special Social Security supplement?

A. No. The special retirement supplement is only payable to FERS employees who retire at their minimum retirement age with 30 years of service; at age 60 with 20; or on early voluntary or involuntary retirement when their agency is undergoing a major reorganization, RIF or transfer of function and they have reached their minimum retirement age.
