You can buy up to five years of Public Employees’ Retirement System credit for active duty service in the U.S. Armed Forces. The credit does not count toward becoming eligible to retire, but it does raise the monthly benefit you are paid after you retire. Each year of credit costs 8.5 percent of your annualized vesting year salary.
Submit the Alaska Division of Retirement and Benefits application for military service credit. For help, call the Customer Service Center at 800-821-2251, or 907-465-4460 in Juneau, or email doa.drb.rcsc@alaska.gov.
