The following is a question submitted by a Federal Times readers about retirement and other issues facing the federal workforce. It is answered by Reg Jones, a charter member of the senior executive service and a Federal Times columnist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question: In March 2023 I turn 62 but would only have 19.52 years of service credible. I will have more than 7 month of sick leave to be added. My question is, would the retirement formula be 1% or would it be 1.1%? Would I have to wait until my actual 08\/11\/23 date to fully have 20 years of service credible in order to get the 1.1%?<\/p>\n\n\n\t
