Q. My question is related to being covered under FERS if I only worked for the federal government for about four months. My dates of employment were from September 2012 until January. I have recently been rehired with the Veterans Affairs Department, as of April, but I am unsure if I qualify under: 1) “the individual on Dec. 31, 2012, was covered under FERS” or 2) “the individual on Dec. 31, 2012, was performing civilian service which is creditable or potentially creditable service under FERS.” I was working as of Dec. 31, 2012, so do I qualify to be “grandfathered in” now that I have been rehired?
A. Yes, because you were a FERS employee on December 31, 2012.

The answer is not clear. The above employee is covered as he was employed on Dec 31, 2012.
Thanks for catching that. I was working from bum information. The correct answer is now on the site.
