Yeah, I did not mean to imply that automatic 80% was the way it was under CSRS. But the general public still seems to think that is what a federal retirement is. The best thing about FERS (if there is one) is the portability if you decide to go to a non-federal job.I knew one guy who went out with 80%. Prior military service helped.And you got sick leave credit with CSRS. FERS you get nothing. Use it or lose it!
