FAQ

You will be eligible for a service retirement benefit when you reach age 55 and have five or more years of credited member service.

Federal career employees receive retirement benefits through either the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) or the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS). Both are defined benefit, contributory retirement systems.

This is a provision that allows you to retire with benefits beginning immediately if you have ten years of service and have reached the Minimum Retirement Age (at least 55). However, the annuity is reduced for each month you are under age 62.

If you were born before 1948, then you can retire at 55. If you were born in 1970 or later, you can enjoy minimum retirement at 57. And if you were born between 1948 and 1970, your minimum retirement age will be between 55 and 2 months and 56 and 10 months.

To receive the full retirement benefit, you must retire at age 62 or older or, if you have at least 30 years of credited service, you may retire as early as age 55. With less than 30 years of credited service, you may retire between the ages 55 and 62 and receive a reduced benefit.

Under FERS, an employee who meets one of the following age and service requirements is entitled to an immediate retirement benefit: age 62 with five years of service, 60 with 20, minimum retirement age (MRA) with 30 or MRA with 10 (but with reduced benefits).

For those 59½ or older, the first $20,000 of retirement income (from a corporate pension, an IRA, a 401(k) account or another retirement plan) is tax-exempt. If you are married, each spouse is eligible for the $20,000 exclusion, for a total of $40,000.
