Who Qualifies for the FERS Supplement? A Comprehensive Guide
The FERS Supplement is designed to bridge the income gap for federal employees who retire before age 62 and are not yet eligible for Social Security benefits. Eligibility requires at least one full calendar year of FERS service and retirement under specific conditions, such as reaching the MRA with 30 years of service or retiring under special provisions for certain law enforcement and public safety employees. Understanding these criteria is crucial for federal employees planning their retirement.
