There's many.... Now if you mean 1811 positions I don't know of any. Lots of non-1811 FLEO don't offer 6c though.

Then I guess those aren't full authority law enforcement gigs with arrest powers?

Pretty miniscule list of non 6c gigs relative to all FLEO gigs, IMO. The way the question was asked, I thought they had abolished 6c for most positions for new employees coming in or something. Most of the typical FLEO gigs are 6c it appears. But I didn't realize FPS or VA Police weren't.

No they are. They have full arrest authority... They just aren't covered under 6c.

IF the last step I had completed was receiving the COE and finishing the security packet, and that was 2 months ago, should I just keep waiting or am I at a point where I can call and check on status?

I guess my question is which gives you the 2.5% a year instead of the 1.7%. And what is USSS SA.

CSRS is gone. It's only FERS

1.7% per year. After 20 years you get 34% of your high 3 salary.

If you were hired before 1/1/2013 you paid in .8% each paycheck.

If you were hired after 2013 but before 2014, you pay 3.1% of your paycheck

If you were hired today I believe it's 4.3% of each paycheck to get the retirement.

Gotta love the ****ty federal 6c retirement

Okay thanks. but with the leo retirement I can retire if I did 20 years at any age . I believe cbp is 25 years fat any age . and If I retire before 57 I possibly can be penalized. Just trying to make sure the switch would be worth it in the long run..but sounds like it, its the same retirement now

It's the same. 6c is 6c. Both FERS. It's 20 years at age 50 or 25 years at any age. Mandatory retirement at age 57.

So with 34% of your highest 3 yrs said..... I know the pay is good while you're there, but in reality I better save up the whole time I'm there in order to live good after I leave the feds...? Or at least have an additional outside retirement fund set up to supplement the federal retirement. Which I know is a no brainer but I'm just saying.

Well you get tsp sooo if you're smart you should have at least a 800k. Lots of guys I work with are in the millions

Not to be a total Debbie Downer, but even assuming a 7% total return over the entire 20 years, and including maxing out your contributions at $18k per year, you'd be lucky to be over $800k at retirement.

Not to mention, that contributing $18k per year is a HUGE portion of your salary for he first few years if you are coming in as a GL-7. Hell, even as a 13 it is a sizable chunk of change.

Well there's a lot of people that are over 1 million. It's not unheard of, and the old folks I work with say if I don't have over 1 million when I retire. I suck lol
