The military retirement system is changing on January 1, 2018. If you are in the Active Component with less than 12 years of service or in the National Guard or Reserve with less than 4,320 retirement points as of Dec. 31, 2017, you will be faced with an important financial decision to make between January 1 and December 31, 2018: remain in the current retirement plan or opt into the new Blended Retirement System?
MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. – Time is running out. With less than two months to decide, eligible Marines must either accept or decline The Blended Retirement System by December 31, 2018. If a Marine does not opt-in to BRS, they will default to The Legacy Retirement System.
