Q. I retired with 30-plus years of federal government service. If I accepted a job with the U.S. Postal Service, will my retirement continue? I’m curious because the Postal Service branched off from the rest of the civil service agencies.
A. Yes, your annuity would continue. However, the salary of your new position would be reduced by the amount of your annuity. While the U.S. Postal Service is an independent agency of the federal government, all its employees are covered by the same retirement system as other government agencies.

I’m under CSRS Offset, 60 years old with 26 years of federal service.
I’m planning to retire on January 2018. If I got a suspension for a week or two this September, does it effect my retirement benefits?
