Summary

If an employee leaves an Agency job to enter military service during a war or a national emergency declared by the President or Congress, they are treated as not having left that job for pension rules unless they apply for and get a refund of their contributions. They stop being treated as keeping the job after December 31, 1956, or after five years of military service, whichever is later. The Agency does not have to take retirement contributions for the time the employee is on active military leave, except as provided in sections 2082(e) or 2082(h).
