Personnel Matters

In this episode of Personnel Matters, Air Force Personnel Center leaders sit down with a civilian retirement subject matter expert to explain what employees need to know, how to review their retirement records and when to request an annuity estimate. Did you know? Under FERS, one path to an immediate, unreduced retirement annuity is having at least 20 years of creditable service and reaching age 60. Other age-and-service combinations may also qualify, depending on your circumstances.
