Q. FERS discontinued service retirement with 29 years and nine months. After five months of trying to reach the Office of Personnel Management, I was told I’m not entitled to the special retirement supplement due to less than 30 years. I am 56 years old. All paperwork received prior to retirement indicated that I was entitled to it.
A. You retired under the MRA+10 provision: minimum retirement age with at least 10 but fewer than 30 years of creditable service. No one who retires under the MRA+10 provision is entitled to the special retirement supplement.
