Hello, I just started federal employment this July. I served Active Duty in the Army for 9 years from 2009 to 2018. In 2018 I joined the reserves. I will be going part time in my Federal job this Sept. Does it make since to by back my military time. Would it only be the 9 years on Active duty. When I retire from the reserves then would I still be able to collect my reserve pension and FERS? Does it affect disability that I receive from the military? - Katie

Yes, my name is Bobby and I have a question on the life insurance coverage. I read here that it said that the basic life insurance and retirement can be continued. If all of the conditions are met, 1 of the conditions are you have not converted coverage to an individual policy. My husband has insurance through the company that he retired from + Medicare and he wants me to drop him off of my insurance. Would that affect my coverage for insurance if I retire within a year? Thank you

"Yes, my name is Marty. I like to know about FERS, if there is a maximum amount of years that I can work and then it is no longer counted towards my retirement calculation. For instance, if I was on the Csrs, I believe the cut off is like 42 years. Is it the same for first? Thank you." - Martha
