Reserve Military Retirement And FERS Military Retirement - Can You Keep Both?
I just saw you guide to military service credit buybacks. I purchased 11 years back and it was the best decision I ever made! I didn't see something in your guide that I think is very important: There is a huge difference between a Reserve retirement and an Active Duty ( AKA Regular) retirement. As you state in your guide Active-duty retirees must choose between their federal and active-duty retirement. HOWEVER, Those that retire as a Reservist can keep BOTH their Reserve Military Retirment and their FERS military retirement. I did. All they will need to do is submit proof of their active duty time (usually verified by a DD 214). Now I find many of those Reservists I talk to are under the false impression that they can't receive both retirements, so they don't even try. I'd ask that you clarify for reserve retirees so they get their full benefit. Thanks for listening and thanks for what you do! - Rich
