Annuitant and Class C

[ModlrMike]

Question for the pension experts out there... If a Class A reservist who is an annuitant takes a Class C contract for international ops, how does that effect the pension? My understanding is that the 335 days rule is the important part. If the member's contract ends before they cross the 335 day threshold, then there is no impact. Is this correct?

It doesn’t. Don’t breach 335 days of paid service in a rolling 365 day period and they are fine.

@ModlrMike Thanks for the timely question. I was looking at something similar if I took on a 3 year REO Class B but had the opportunity to deploy are the limits the same . CF MIL PERS INSTR 20/04 only had a small line under Class C that discussed taking the breaks over holidays and weekends which seemed unwieldy

Thanks for that

So then I infer that you "double dip" until the 335 threshold is met as well? Do you contribute to CFSA while on the Class C contract?

You should not be contributing unless re enrolled.

The Leg & Reg strictly interpreted require only one day, but there are valid policy and process rationales for the 30 day standard.

Accidentally exceeding 365 could be calamitous in terms of being re enrolled, resuming contributions, paying back pension received on day 365+, change from being a released Reg F in receipt of annuity to being a released Res F in receipt of an annuity...

Don’t accidentally exceed 365…

 

[MJP]

Don’t accidentally exceed 365…

Do it purposely?

"Oh, sorry, repay your annuity. You cannot work class A again while collecting your annuity once it resumes." If that is the outcome you want.

Just arranging my deck chairs for after my command tour. There's a J4 Log job that looks promising.

Annuitant waivers are moving very slowly through VCDS. Make sure it's staffed well in advance of need.

Isn’t it the case that such a waiver would only be needed for a 12 month tour? As I understand it, an annuitant can do a 6 month tour without a waiver.
