High-3

0

Q. Is a temporary promotion of less than or equal to 120 days included in your high-3 computation for retirement (assuming the promotion was within your last 3 years of service)?

A. Yes. Your “high-3” is based on the average of your highest three consecutive years (78 biweekly pay periods) of Basic pay, regardless of when they occur in your career.
