[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So if I am eligible to retire and I get fired for whatever, I just retire right.  I do not lose my pension?[/quote]

You do not lose your pension if you get fired, regardless. Your pension is something both you and the government paid into, somewhat like Social Security. [/quote]

You better read up on the claim that you get still get a Fed pension if you get fired REGARDLESS. That is not the right answer...

Actually it is at least for FERS, although if you are not retirement eligible at the time of firing, you would not receive it until you attain retirement age. Just like if you resigned. Of course if you didn't put in much time, it will be very small, but it is something. I have 15 years in - if I resigned or were fired tomorrow, then when I reach retirement age, I'd get less than half of what I would have gotten if I'd stayed until 30 years in.

There was some legislation a couple years ago that would have clawed back retirement benefits at certain agencies for certain financial misdeeds. I don't recall if it passed, and it was very limited. [/quote]
