I am CSERS and will be both 60 years of age and have 30 years of Federal Service this coming February 2010. Which would be the earliest date I could plan on retiring with the best benefits?
What about NSPS

From an article authored by Tammy Flanagan, senior benefits director for the National Institute of Transition Planning, Inc, "For example, an employee who retired on Jan. 2, 2010, would not be eligible for a performance payout, because the new leave year begins on Jan. 3 2010." If on the rolls 3 January (if that is the effective date of your retirement and you are CSRS), you are entitled to an NSPS payout.

On Dec.25,2009 I will turn 56 and I will have just shy 24 years. I also have bought back my military time which amounts to 3years 11 months and 26 days. My question is how do I go about calculating how bad retiring with almost 28 years and not being eligible to receive a cola for six years could possibly hurt me. I enjoy reading your column and have been for a long time.
Looking forward to retiring but don't want to be short changed or experience a decrease in my buying power.
Thank You again,
Noel

Yes, GS CSSR folks would be better off if they retired on the 1st of Jan instead of the 3rd, unless those extra two days would earn them another months credit (1/6%) But, I've heard that NSPS employees must be on the rolls. and in a NSPS position, on the effective date of the NSPS payout inorder to receive any PfP-either base pay increase or bonus.
Thought is: If a NSPS CSSR employee retires on 3 Jan 2010, would they get any basic pay increase or bonus they would otherwise have received on the 3rd, had they not retired?
