We Can Help You Protect Your Standard of Living

A federal employee has the legal right to pursue federal disability retirement benefits if they are no longer able to perform the duties of their job due to an ongoing medical condition. According to the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), an employee can medically qualify for these benefits so long as their physical or mental condition is expected to last at least 12 months.

If you’re interested in filing for benefits, contact the federal disability retirement attorneys at The Law Firm of John P. Mahoney, Esq., Attorneys at Law, PLLC. During your consultation, our experienced legal team can evaluate your case and explain how we can guide you through each step of this complex legal process. To help you receive the benefits your situation requires, we can make sure that each application form is completed correctly. If you’ve already been denied benefits, we can help you effectively navigate the appeal process.

How To Apply for Federal Disability Retirement

There are four types of federal retirement options:

  • Disability. Retiring on disability enables you to obtain Federal Disability Retirement.
  • Early Retirement. Individuals must abide by certain guidelines to be able to receive an early retirement.
  • Voluntary Retirement. Depending on how old you are when you retire and the number of years of service you have provided to the government, your voluntary retirement benefits will differ.
  • Deferred Retirement. If you were originally covered by FERS but have re-entered the federal workforce for some reason, you may be able to receive a deferred annuity at age 62 or the Minimum Retirement Age, receiving benefits thereafter.

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) works with the personnel at each agency to process annuity (retirement) claims.

To apply for retirement, you must send an annuity application to the OPM. Once the OPM receives the application, it will begin running through a checklist with your agency personnel to ensure you meet the requirements and calculate the benefits you're owed.
