This is federal wide. Apparently if you are eligible for an immediate annuity which you are at MRA plus 10 then you aren’t eligible for severance. My annuity will be crap so this really sucks.


This is so unfair!!



But you keep your health insurance!!! This is a huge factor. You keep your health insurance for LIFE if you take a discontinued service retirement.

Try working in the private sector, you'll get a reality check in short order.


I seriously wonder about people who post these things.

Why? is it untrue?

Agree. I would never even know this but we’ve never been threatened with RIF before. So frustrated. And as a single parent it’s pretty scary.


Wait you’re a single parent at minimum retirement age plus 10? My MRA is 57- surely your kids are grown?

What? Are you talking about FERS annuity or something? I’m just talking about regular severance. I though people with more than one year were entitled to severance.

do you have access to employee express? you want the employee benefits statement.

https://www.employeeexpress.gov/FEBS

or https://www.nfc.usda.gov/EPPS/index.aspx?ReturnUrl=/epps/

GRB platform has a link you can click but it calculates off of your leave SCD instead of your retirement SCD so could be incorrect.

Not asking about the calculator page.
It’s not in a box on the SF-50.
Where is this number listed for each employee that they can see?
