Estimated Earning
During Military Service for Civilian
Retirement
What are
estimated earnings? For a former military member to have
their service time considered for their civil service retirement
they have to "buy back" that time. In order to "buy back" military
service time for civil service retirement, former military members
are required to get their estimated earnings from the appropriate
DFAS Center. Below are instructions on how to do this:
-
Use a separate request for each
branch of service.
-
Attach DD 214 or equivalent and
any available records of pay or promotions to the Request for
Earnings during Military Service form provided by the civilian
personnel office.
-
Individuals that do not have a DD
214 or equivalent should get a SF 180 from the personnel office and
have their service verified before forwarding the request form to
the pay center.
-
The pay center cannot provide
estimated earnings unless verification of service is
attached
-
Send or fax the Request for
Earnings during Military Service form to the appropriate
