Is it true that if you retire from the military and retire from a federal job such as the post office or as?

a corrections officer in a federal prison that you may only collect ONE of the two pensions? That one of them would have to be give up?

1. I would have to say no to that. My father retired 25 yrs Air Force and he has been working for a naval ship yard and will be recieving a retirement from that come later on this year.
2. Not so. Earned pensions have to be paid. However, if one works in different departments of federal government, they can be combined in to one federal pension.
3. There are rules against double dipping but it does not apply to everyone who reitres for th military and then a federal job.
4. N O!!! It only affects your Social Security pay which is off-set at about $100.00 depending on how much you earn from the Military Retirement and the other retirment, such as the Post Office or the corrections officer. You'll still receive both pensions!!!!!
5. No, my father collects a pension from the Air Force and the Park Service,
6. No, you can collect two pensions.
7. incorrect, you would collect 3 pensions,(A) Military (B) from the federal job,(C) Social Security,, you would be known as a Triple Dipper
8. I think that the Fed. govt. will give you ONE pension based on the total number of years you have in federal service. After all the fed. govt. is only a single entity.
9. I work with a gov't employee (GS-11) who spent 26 years in the Navy, and is drawing Social Security. He said he'd retire when they carry him out of the building on a stretcher on the way to the hearse.
