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.

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.
