Q. I am a non-dual-status employee, under FERS. I resigned in 2007 with a deferred retirement. I didn’t touch it. I came back in 2009 as an emergency hire non-dual-status for two years. I then was made a temporary NTE for two years. I was then brought back as a reinstatement employee NTE four years with my benefits back.

Q. I am 58 with 20 years of service. In January of this year, I transferred from a permanent employee to temporary. I was told at first that I was eligible for the early retirement/buyout program.

Q. I started at the Transportation Security Administration in late June of 2002 with a temporary appointment for which time there were no retirement deductions. I was then made permanent in November 2002. Can I buy back the six months of temporary time so that it will be added to my government service for computation of my FERS pension? A. Nondeduction service performed on or after Jan. 1, 1989, isn’t creditable for either eligibility or computation purposes, nor may you make a deposit to get credit for it.
Q. I worked in a federal job as a temporary employee from October 1979 to January 1987. I paid only Social Security since temporary employees were not allowed to participate in CSRS. I was hired as a career-conditional FERS employee in June 2010. I am looking to pay a deposit to get credit for my years of temporary service. Can any of that service give me a CSRS annuity component even though I never participated in CSRS? A. No.
