ONLY disabled Veterans get free health care at VA. they (the LAW MAKERs get 16000 mouth paid for life. their percentage from their pay is far less do to the make more and pay the same rate as I.... I get 1.1% at 20 year mark. You said it yourself STAFF they get striaght 2% early age retirement I think? . CSRS is just about gone hardly any people left on they system... IT is FERS now. Which is at least 2/3 less than CSRS year for year.
There are r were some advantages to FERS although I did not have a choice when I started working. With FERS I am collecting SSN now even though I was 57 when I retired. They don't call it SSN but it pays me SSN until my regular SSN starts. I think it is no longer in place but I believe it put in to urge people to start retiring earlier.
