Q. I am a postmaster under FERS. I have 30 years of service and will be 53 years and 11 months old when I receive separation notice in September. All my research suggests I will be able to retire under discontinued service retirement. It seems illogical the Postal Service would offer a VERA eight months before that.

Now that I’m almost at the 30-year mark and with my minimum retirement age around the corner, I recently sat down with my retirement adviser to figure out my annuity computation numbers for retirement. My service computation date is Jan. 28, 1984. While there, I found out that I was on a not-to-exceed appointment until June 10, 1984. I filled out a request for civilian deposit/redeposit application. I found out that I had owed $48 during that time and now I owe $287 with…
Q. I need information as to how Medicare Part B premiums are paid when the following applies, per CMS.HHS: “If you are not set up on your spouse’s Social Security number with a B or D following the Medicare number.” My wife’s Medicare Part B card has a B following the Medicare number.

If she cannot have the premiums deducted from her Social Security benefit, is there some other…
