Q. I am ATC with 20 years good time. My 50th birthday is Nov.1 . Can I retire on Oct.31, using the assumption that the day before your birthday is used in determing retirement age? Where can I find this info?
A. You are correct. Your agency will be able to find proof of that by reading Retirement Counselor Letter No. 88-304, which I signed on June 23, 1988, when I was OPM’s assistant director for retirement and insurance policy.
