I spent 3 years, 9 months and 10 days on active duty (was released 3 months early for graduate school) That gives me on my retirement printout 1371 retirement points.

Then, I joined the guard and received another 164. Total retirement points 1535 for a total 5 “good” years.

However, I also did some correspndence corses which I was told to turn in to the retirement person which shows up on my printout as “ACCP Misc Points” and is added to the “Total Career Points” column–NOT the “Total Points for Retirement Pay” column.

Question–what is the difference between “career points” and “retirement points?” If career points are not calculted for retirement pay, what are they good for?
To the one responder so far–I am sure you know what you are talking about–however, I have no idea what “non-retirement bond” means.

As an international graduate student (F1 visa) receiving a research assistantship, I realized that no medicare or social security taxes were deducted from my W-2, and I think I am exempted.
My summer employer deducted these and asked me to check if I am exempted or not. Should I just assume that I am exempted from paying these because of my previous W-2?
Thanks for the help.

I am a healthcare provider with an idea for a relatively simple administrative/procedural change that could save millions of $$ and at the same time provide better patient care. Unfortunately, Medicare is so big, finding the right person to talk to is impossible.

one4Christ asked:


Does anyone know what (if any) are the penalties for withdrawing some or all of your retirement funds to use as a down payment to purchase your first home? I have a 457 retirement plan and I am considering pulling out $10K to go towards the purchase of my first home. Normally I would be penalized 30% but I heard somewhere that there are 3 circumstances where this is allowable without penalties. Can anyone vertify this is accurate or tell me where I can get more info.

Thank you!
