Using Final Lump Sum Payouts to Purchase Service Credit


Employees may use their final lump sum payouts to purchase service credit. This can only be accomplished through the TDP process. If an employee wishes to use their final lump sum payouts to purchase service credit they can either payoff an existing TDP Agreement or initiate a new one.

For employees with an existing TDP Agreement, see the Lump Sum Payments for Retiring or Terminating Employees section for instruction.

For employees that need to initiate a new TDP agreement, see the TDP Enrollment Process Steps section for instructions.
