Q. Is there a limitation on the number of years an individual can be out of law enforcement? I was occupational code 1801 covered under FERS “M” retirement code, worked five years, separated in 2002, and was no longer covered under FERS. I am now 37, want to return as a law enforcement officer 1811. How should the time be counted? Mandatory age-out for an 1811 is 37.

Q. At 20 years of service in a 6(c) covered law enforcement position, I will be 42 years old and ineligible to retire (until I reach 47 years old after 25 years of service). If I transfer to a noncovered position after 20 years, will I still keep my 6(c) retirement?
Q. I am a civilian covered under a FERS law enforcement retirement. If I switch from self-only to self and family within five years of retirement, will my family maintain Federal Employees Health Benefits coverage? Also, can I change from a self-only to a self-and-family policy after retirement?
Q. I will have 21 years as a federal law enforcement officer when I retire. I will be 56 years old. I also have 15 years of military time that I bought back. Do the 15 years of military time also get calculated into my Social Security supplement or do I only get credit for the 21 years of federal LEO time?
Q. I have just retired after 31 years and 10 months of service as a federal law enforcement officer. My retirement was mandatory at age 57. I have over 20 years in 6c position. I am under CSRS Offset. I would like to collect Social Security as well as my government pension at age 57. Can I receive Social Security benefits at age 57? At age 62, what amount are my benefits offset?
Q. I’m 44 with 16 years in a covered federal law enforcement position plus three military years (which I haven’t bought back yet). How soon can I retire? When I reach 20 years in service, I’ll be only 48, or do I have to wait to reach 50? Could I retire then, and if so, what would I be leaving on the table?
Q. From 1998 to 2002, I worked as an inspector for the U.S. Customs Service (now CBP) which was, at that time, a non-law enforcement position. In 2002, I was hired by another agency as a criminal investigator, a law enforcement position that falls under 6c. A few years ago, CBP officers were given law enforcement status in the government, and they are now all under 6c. Can I buy back my four years as an inspector since that position is now under 6c? If not, how do those years calculate into my retirement; will they add on once I…
Q. I would like to complete the fewest law enforcement years possible to retain my law enforcement retirement. I have 13 years in. I know I have to do 25 full years in law enforcement to get out completely at any age. If I completed 20 years of law enforcement and completed the remaining time in a noncovered position until age 50, could I obtain full law enforcement retirement? Do I have to be in a covered position upon turning age 50?
Q. I am planning on retiring when I am 60. I will have 16.5 years of law enforcement employment (age waiver for entrance). I also have bought back 9¼ years’ active-duty time. Will I get the special rate of 1.7 percent for my law enforcement time and then 1 percent for the buyback time?
Q. My father passed away at the age of 62 after 20 years with the Forest Service (most of those years as law enforcement.) He passed away just shy of two months after his retirement day and thus didn’t receive a single annuity check. I am his only survivor, and I’m trying to determining what the lump-sum payout will be. Is there any way to estimate what he paid in? He was set to receive roughly $22,000 year for 30 years. What percentage of that would his contribution actually be?
