Buying back service is something each RPCV turned federal employee should do as soon as they become an official employee. In the immediate present, you become closer to getting a bump up to the amount of leave hours received each pay period. Then, the long term benefit brings your retirement date closer by the amount of time you served. This helps to either A.) retire earlier or B.) gain a higher percent of retirement pay when you do. Check out the instructions within and reach out to your HR department or the representative to get started!
