Questions about purchasing Military time for pension credit?
In order to get your military time granted or purchased you will need to contact
OP&F Customer Service at 888-864-8363 for assistance with the proper paperwork and steps you need to follow.
Please be prepared to forward OP&F your DD214 that states:
- you were honorably discharged;
- your date of entry; and
- your date of discharge.
You will also need to send a letter expressing interest in receiving a grant or purchase of your military service. Once OP&F receives this information, a representative will contact your employer for wage information. Then information will be mailed to you to complete and file with OP&F.

The first expansion of the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) was signed into law on
January 28, 2008. Under this expansion, employers must offer up to 26 weeks of unpaid
leave to employees who provide care to wounded US military personnel. In addition, the
law requires employers to provide 12 weeks of leave to immediate family members
(spouses, children or parents) of solders, reservists and members of the National Guard
who have a "qualifying exigency."
