\u201cI am a federal employee, and have been for 20 years. I am coming up to retirement age, and hope to retire within the next five years. However, in the area that I live, there are many non-federal government positions that seem intriguing and I think fit my skills and abilities. I\u2019m not a CSRS employee, but I do fall under the FERS. So my question is similar to what was answered this morning: does my taking a non-federal job affect my FERS annuity?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can take a non-federal job without its having any affect on your annuity. It doesn\u2019t matter if you are covered by CSRS or FERS.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
