What are the different types of service that can be purchased at COA ERS?

Credit for Prior Federal Active Duty Military Service: COA ERS Members may establish up to 48 months of Creditable Service for prior military service. Military service eligible for purchase is full-time active duty in the armed forces of the United States of at least 90 consecutive days, before the beginning of a Member’s most recent period of COA ERS membership. To purchase prior military service, honorably discharged Members must present an original DD214. Service credits for the same period of time may not be purchased in more than one retirement system for a Member with service in more than one participating proportionate retirement system (see Proportionate Retirement).
