Check Eligibility

Review — The participant appears eligible based on the application DOB for normal retirement at the 2026-11-01 start date, and credited service is 29.0 years. However, the application DOB (1961-02-09) conflicts with the certified birth record (February 9, 1962), so eligibility and benefit calculation require review. The married participant’s 75% joint and survivor election is allowed, and the signed Direct Deposit Authorization is present.
