It is hard but you can do it. The SEC is still a good place to work.

the shutdown caused a delay. several more weeks for a decision, not that it really will make a difference.

if you meet the requirements: age 50+, with 20+ years of service.


Don’t look at what you get if you’re 57 with 15 years of service. At least, not until you have a box of Kleenexes handy.


yeah, the folks that meet MRA +10 are better off postponing the pension for as long as possible and starting it and FEHB right before they turn 62. but that's a long 5 years without severance or pension or subsidized health.

Why should the union communicate with non due paying employees?

if the rate of pay used in retirement calculations (basic pay= base pay + locality) is in excess of the official rate of pay for EX level I, you are not eligible for severance.
