Pre-Retirement

Questions and answers

It depends on what your retirement coverage error was and how long you were in the wrong retirement plan. FERCCA may provide you one or all of the following:

  • You may have an opportunity to choose another retirement plan;
  • You may be reimbursed for certain out-of-pocket expenses you paid as a result of a coverage error;
  • You may benefit from certain changes in the rules about how some of your Government service counts toward retirement; and
  • You may be able to make-up contributions to the Thrift Savings Plan and get lost earnings on those contributions as well.
