Q. I retired Jan. 3 with a Voluntary Separation Incentive Pay. I chose the two-payment option and was told I would receive half in June and the other half in December. It is now June and I have yet to receive the first payment. I would like to know who I would need to contact in regard to this situation.
Q. I acquired 30 years of service in May and will reach my minimum retirement age in November. If I accept a Voluntary Early Retirement Authority or Voluntary Separation Incentive Pay prior to my MRA, I understand I will not receive the special retirement supplement until I reach my MRA. What about the 5 percent reduction per year prior to age 62? My Federal Employees Health Benefits will be fine as I’ve been enrolled all along, correct?
Q. I am 62 years and 10 months old with 21 years in civil service. I converted to nonappropriated funds four years ago but kept my FERS retirement plan. I am also a retired disabled veteran. I received a reduction-in-force notice due to my garrison closing. Assigned employees in the closing garrison were not offered Voluntary Early Retirement Authority/Voluntary Separation Incentive Pay, but nearby communities were. What is the best course of action in this matter?

Q. I have recently retired under the Voluntary Separation Incentive Pay program. I know that if I accept a job with a government agency, direct supporting, or a personal services contractor, Obama wants his money back. Can you please tell me how I can find out if the company that wants me to work for them (no benefits, part time) fits into either one of these categories? This company is not on a government installation, but it does supply the government with its products. I would be working for a company that is contracted to this company for security.
Q. Would a retiree under Voluntary Early Retirement Authority or Voluntary Separation Incentive Pay, who would be eligible for the special retirement supplement, which is subject to an earnings test, and plans to work after retirement, be better to take the SRS and let it be reduced by the earnings test, or elect to forgo the SRS?
