Q. I’m under CSRS. If I started my government service in the legislative branch (15 years and three months), and then went to the executive branch for the next 16 years, can I carry my 2.5 percent annual into the 16 years of the executive branch service, or do I start at 1.5 percent the day I began with the executive branch?
A. Your years of service in the legislative branch would be computed using the higher percentage.
