Congratulations Ordinary Girl! I am happy for you!
Janke,
You seem very knowledgeable about all of this.
So, I was wondering if you could help me out on a calculation. I am a retired Fed and know that the WEP will affect me for having been a CSRS employee. But I was only a CSRS employee for a short time; then turning into CSRS OFFSET right around 1986. and avoiding FERS altogether. But before I go further I just wanted to know if you could help with calculation. In any case, I paid into SS for many years. I tried using the WEP calculator on the SSA website but am not so sure it is accurate. Thanks! Oh, and I had read that the GPO and WEP might be eliminated but am certain that will take awhile if ever.
Sorry Ordinary Girl, I didn't mean to hijack your thread. I apologize for that. It is just that Janke has responded with so much good information.
