But you're right there was very little information in the beginning on how or what to do. If only I knew then what I know know.
I started out in CSRS for four yrs, then left the govt for 18 months. when I returned the TSP was in effect. missed getting back into the CSRS by 30 days. and then of course when I came back NOBODY told me I could buy back my time. when I finally found out about doing that, I only owed a couple hundred to pay back but the interest was over 3k. I brought back in and started to recouped that money 18 months after being retired, and now get more per month. Of course the dept that handles the payback, said they hear it all of the time, nobody knows until later on when it is a big interest payment. they don't tell anybody, i wonder why?
