Last week I wrote about the age and service requirements needed to retire. This time I want review the most common kinds of service that are considered creditable for retirement purposes. As a rule, creditable service means service in which your pay is subject to CSRS or FERS retirement deductions. However, creditable service may also include:
Creditable Civilian Service (FERS) Generally, to be creditable for eligibility and computation, all service prior to 01-01-1989 must be covered by a deposit. Non-deposit service on or after 01-01-1989 is not creditable. The 2010 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) provides for a change in the law to allow refunded Federal Employee Retirement System (FERS) service to be repaid and be creditable for retirement.
