FERS Sick Leave Conversion

The National Defense Authorization Act (HR 2647) was signed by the President that now allows FERS employees similar sickleave benefits as CSRS employees. However, the credit is phased in with a 50 percent credit for those who retire now and full conversion after January 1, 2014. Go to our Sickleave section for complete details and a conversion calculator. More to come.

Answers to Your Questions

We started the "Ask the Expert" free service to compliment the in-depth information provided on www.federalretirement.net and to answer site visitor's questions that are unique and not addressed elsewhere online. The Expert replies are added to our FAQ page and this information is also used to update or supplement the content on this site in each major area.  All forum host articles are posted on our FED BLOG.

Forum Hosts

The forum hosts are Dennis Damp for Lifestyle and Employment, Linda Duncan for Benefits and Finance,  Chuck Jumpeter for Wellness and Health, and Nancy Holston for Travel.  Combined, our hosts have over 122 years of federal government work experience in a broad spectrum of fields and interests. More will be added as we expand this area.  Each Forum Host writes a column that is sent out to our email newsletter subscribers. Go to their respective Forums to learn more about each host, read their articles, and to ask them questions that you can't get answers to anywhere else.
