FERS Part-Time Service: Clarifying the Creditable Service Rules
Yes, my name is Martha, and I tune into as many of your podcasts as I can, for your valuable information, I have a question regarding part time work previously, I thought that each year of part time service counted as a full year towards my years of principal service. But I was listening to a recent podcast by JT titled How to ensure all your years count towards credit creditable service and at around timestamp, four minutes and 14 seconds, he says something that goes against what I previously thought. So I have several years of part time work. I thought I could retire at my minimum retirement age and 30 years, even though I have all those years of part time work, as long as I paid FERS and FICA every year, of course, but he makes it sound like it's more of a proportional thing with the principal years of service. I do plan on hiring your company to do my retirement application processing, about a year before I retire, but now I'm not sure when I should be contacting you for that process of try and get some clarification. I do appreciate your help. Thank you. - Martha
