FAQ
For LEOs who retire at age 50 with 20 years of service, the formula is 1.7 % of the worker's average “high three” salaries multiplied by 20 years of covered service. This amount is added to 1% of the “high three” average amount multiplied by all years of service beyond the required 20 years.
For normal retirement and to receive your full monthly benefit, you must be age 65 with at least 8 years of service or have 33 years of service regardless of age.
Under both CSRS and FERS, the minimum retirement age is 50 for law enforcement personnel with 20 years of service. Under FERS, employees are eligible for retirement at any age after completing 25 years of service.
Law enforcement personnel in FERS accrue benefits at the rate of 1.7% per year for the first 20 years of service and 1% per year for each year thereafter. FERS contribution rates vary by date of hire.
For most members of the FRS Pension Plan, the normal retirement age is 62 or 65, depending on when they were hired. However, some government employees may retire earlier, such as those in high-risk jobs like law enforcement officers.
You will be eligible for a Pension Plan benefit (i.e. be vested) when you complete six years of service (if you were enrolled in the FRS prior to July 1, 2011) or eight years of service (if you were enrolled in the FRS on or after July 1, 2011).
