I am 45 years old with over 20 years of service with my agency. Could I find employment with a different federal agency to get a double pension? When I leave my current agency for another, I do understand that my TSP and SCD is not affected. In theory, I am young enough to put some significant amount of time into two different agencies. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you retired and returned to work for the government, the salary of your new position would be reduced by the amount of your annuity. If you worked for less than 5 years, when you retired again a supplemental annuity would be calculated and added to your original annuity. If you worked for 5 or more years, your annuity would be recomputed as if your had retired for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
