Presenting an Ethical vs. Economic Conundrum

Unlike annual leave, there is no limit on how many sick leave hours you can carry over each year. However, most don't know they can accrue an unlimited amount of sick leave. When you retire, your sick time is converted to years, months, days--to be added to your actual service credit time.

Could this be a great way to add to your service time towards retirement? Yes. Does it come with numerous caveats regarding Minimum Retirement Age (MRA)? Absolutely. For example, an individual would be retiring under MRA +10 by using their sick time, which comes with a penalty of 5% reduction for each year under 62!

Federal Benefits Information Center is here to help you figure out what is the best individualized plan for you.
