Q. I recently went back to work as a federal employee with the Veterans Affairs Department. When I retired through Department of the Army, I was a GS-9 Step 4 with more than 27 years of total federal service. In addition, during my tenure, I worked with the Defense Finance and Accounting Service as a GS-8 that was within the same job series 0990. Thus far, VA has not given me credit for my total service time, whereupon they set my service computation date up as Jan. 27, 2013. I was hired into a GS-7 position on that date, and they…

Q. I am eligible for FERS retirement on Jan. 17, 2015. For financial reasons, assuming the special retirement supplement is not canceled before then, I need to not use any annual leave for all of 2014, and then cash out my 448 hours (240 saved and the 208 for FY14) at my hourly rate for an approximate $20,000 needed to pay off my mortgage.
