Q. I have 20½ years of service — 17¼ under 6c (currently serving) and 7½ years of military that I bought back; 28 years total. If my agency gets Voluntary Early Retirement Authority, when would I be eligible for the special retirement supplement under FERS 6c?

Q. I was employed in a law enforcement position under CSRS for 25 years, under 6c retirement formula. My service computation date was July 7, 1975, I resigned my position on Sept. 28, 2000. I needed to be 50 years old to be eligible to retire, but I left when I was 47. On Aug. 8, I will be 60 years old. Can I apply for a deferred retirement now or do I have to wait to apply until I am 62 years old on Aug. 8, 2015? I called the Office of Personnel Management and am getting conflicting information.…
Q. I have 31 years of federal service with the National Park Service. I have 18½ years of law enforcement service (because the Firefighter and Law Enforcement Retirement Team took away four permanent years of law enforcement service). I will be 60 in September. Is it possible for the government to give me an early retirement and give me the last year of the 20-year retirement special pay (January 2014 instead of January 2015)? Or do I need to work the last year to get the 20-year special pay. The early-out and incentive payment may be offered soon.
Q. I am a federal law enforcement officer with 6(c) retirement under FERS. Are law enforcement officers with 6(c) retirement eligible for early outs earlier than 25 years at any age or 50 years of age with 20 years of service? If so, what are the requirements?
Q. I am retired law enforcement officer. At what age does my special retirement supplement stop, as a provision for early retirement? I’ve heard that it stops at your minimum retirement age, which, for me, I was told, is 56. I’ve also heard 59 and 62.
Q. I have 11 years as an 1811 and am considering moving into a noncovered position. I know I will ultimately have to do 30 years, but how will my 11 years as an 1811 (6c covered) be calculated? Will the first 11 years be counted at 1.7 percent and the remaining 19 years at 1 percent per year?
Q. I have approximately 12 years as an 1811 and am considering leaving the covered position for another position within the federal government with no special provisions. I understand if I do that, the time spent in the noncovered position is calculated at standard rate, but when/if I retire under traditional FERS coverage, will my first 12 years as a law enforcement officer be calculated at the LEO rate and then the rest at the standard rate? So will my retirement be calculated in a sort of hybrid mix of FERS LEO and regular FERS?
Q. I retired in 2004 under CSRS as a law enforcement officer. I am being rehired now. Do I go back to CSRS or do I have to be placed in CSRS Offset?
Q. I began 6(c) coverage on Sept. 26, 1999; I was deployed by the Army Reserve for 18 months from May 2005 to September 2006. I am 48 years old. Do I have to do an extra 18 months to retire with 20 years of 6(c) coverage? I bought back the 18 months already and I began my scheduled leave on April 19, 1993, which already had been paid back.
Q. I work for the local sheriff’s office as a law enforcement officer. If I take a federal LEO position, will I lose my local government years of service and retirement?
