Q. I retired as a GS-14, CSRS employee, at 30 years. If I take a GS-15 position, does the retirement stop, or is the pay just offset by the amount of the annuity? Do you pay into the CSRS retirement fund or FERS, or can one defer? Does health insurance continue from the retirement or from the new payroll?

Q. I retired at almost age 58 with 20½ years’ creditable service in the National Park Service under FERS. I took the 20 percent-plus hit for going before age 62. I am considering a term position with the NPS with retirement benefits. Can I stop my FERS annuity, take the term job, and then retire after I reach 62 so my retirement will be refigured at an older age with more time in service? Do I have to stop the annuity so many days before I take the job? Any other warnings on this situation? A. No, you can’t stop…
Q. I was a re-employed annuitant who officially retired Jan. 3 from another federal agency. The human resources specialist at the last federal agency informed me that I would receive my full retirement benefits beginning Feb. 1, since my SF 2801 and additional paperwork was submitted to the Office of Personnel Management prior to their Jan. 18 deadline.

Thanks to OPM’s severe backlog, I have received nothing except the annuity from my first annuity,…
Q. I am a GS-14 federal retiree, having retired in October. I worked continuously (no break in service) for 34½ years. My period of employment was entirely competitive service. I was classified as exempt from the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. I am interested in knowing how I would be paid if I decided to apply as a rehired federal annuitant. Is there a table that you can point me to with a step-by-step decision tree as well as examples of how a salary would be determined? A. Nope. There aren’t any tables or decision trees. It would be up…
Q. I am a re-employed FERS annuitant, and my salary is offset by my annuity. I have a CSRS component to my FERS retirement. When I first had my discontinued service retirement in March 2009, the CSRS portion of my sick leave was credited to my annuity. My FERS sick leave portion was not. When I returned to federal service in 2011, I was credited the unused FERS portion of my sick leave to my employee account. When I am eligible for a redetermined FERS annuity, after five years, what will happen to the original sick leave credited to the…
