One often overlooked benefit that federal retirees might be eligible to receive involves Social Security credit for time spent in military service. If you have such service, check your Social Security earnings records well in advance of retirement to be sure that it is included; you can do that at a Social Security office or through an online account at www.ssa.gov. That time may qualify you for Social Security benefits if you are a CSRS employee with relatively little time under the Social Security system.
