Don’t wait until you are a few years away from retirement to start your plan. Contact your organization’s training coordinator for pre-retirement course 10 years out as well as 5 years to ensure you will have a retirement plan, and financial security.

Benefits into Retirement

  • Social Security Benefits - based on 35 years of earnings in the Social Security System. These earnings include both federal and non-federal.

Retirement Estimate Information

  • If your retirement date is more than two years from now, you should use the Retirement Calculators in the The GRB Platform™    (CAC-protected, current DLA and DHA HR-serviced employees only.).

  • Retirement Estimate Request System (Online Worksheet)  
    The Retirement Estimate Request System (RERS) contains a CAC enabled online worksheet that is the preferred method to use when requesting a retirement estimate for a retirement date that is within the next two years. If your retirement date is more than two years from now, you should use the Retirement Calculator in EBIS. The worksheet will auto populate your name, activity, organization code and servicing office. It will also allow you to save your request as a draft, permitting you to go back to the worksheet to make any changes before submitting to the appropriate office.

Please note: The DLA Benefits Center will only prepare one estimate per year per employee.
