\u201cIn 2018, I retired from the armed forces with 24 years of honorable service. I started a second career as a civilian with the federal government in 2021. Someone told me I could get a second retirement after working only 10 years as a civilian. Is this true? Do I have to do something additional besides just working for 10 years until I\u2019m 65 years old?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

That someone was right. With 10 years of service you could retire under the MRA+10 provision of law. However, your annuity would be reduced by 5 percent for every year you were under age 62. You could reduce or eliminate that penalty by delaying the receipt of your annuity to a later date.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
