Q. If I accept a VERA and have fewer than 30 years of service, will I still still get the special retirement supplement when I reach my minimum retirement age? How do they calculate the payment?

Q. I was a FERS employee who was involuntary separated (performance related) after 16.5 years with the U.S. Dept. of Labor. I separated in September 2003. In 2004 I took a refund of my retirement contributions. Am I entitled to any pension that would be based on the government’s contributions to my account? I was born in 1963 and would otherwise be eligible for my pension in about 18 months.
Q. I’m a FERS employee. I understand that if I have at least 25 years of service and accept my agency’s early retirement offer, I can retire at any age. If I do, when will I receive my benefits?

Q. I’m a FERS employee. I was told if you resign from the government and collect retirement later, you lose the health insurance coverage for you and your husband and you cannot re-enroll when you retire. Is that true?
Q. I am currently 52 years old with 32 years in the U.S. Postal Service. I am being offered a VERA. Am I eligible to receive the FERS supplement at my current age?
Q. Under FERS my average annual salary is $79,077. I’m age 64 and started working in 2012. I’m told that the earliest I can retire is age 62 and five years of service. When I retire, what would my retirement annuity be?
Q. When do you get notified of the actual amount of your FERS supplement? I retired with an immediate annuity as a result of a discontinued service retirement with 25 years service at age 51. I will reach the minimum retirement age of 56 this May, but still haven’t been able to determine what the actual amount will be and the Office of Personnel Management has not responded to my emails. I know how to do the estimate (Social Security estimate at 62 divided by 40 times years of service), but am frustrated by the fact that OPM doesn’t even acknowledge…
Q. I’m currently providing health insurance for my husband as a FERS employee. If I postpone retirement, can my husband resume his insurance coverage as well as me?
Q. I was forced to take a FERS Disability Retirement and was approved, but the Office of Personnel Management put me on regular earned rate retirement because I bought back my military time which then gave me 20 years of federal time and I just turned 60 years old. Should OPM not have counted my military buyback until age 62 when I would have converted over to regular retirement? I thought I would be getting 60 percent of my high-3 the first year then 40 percent the second year then go into retirement with 1.1 percent of my high-3.
