Q. I am planning to retire from service with Los Angeles County at age 60. I will be eligible for a retirement allowance from my county defined benefit plan. The county does not participate in Social Security; however, by age 67, I will have enough Social Security credits from other jobs. Can I work full time for the Veterans Affairs Department? If so, would my VA salary be affected by the county retirement (offset)? If I work enough at the VA to become vested and qualify for retirement in FERS, will my VA retirement be affected by my county retirement?…
