Yes she started March of 1984. Does that mean she is vested as far as the pension is concerned.
Would other money contributed to TSP account by her placed into an IRA also be subject to the Bailey decision ( there was no match by the Federal Government ) but the plan was converted by the Federal Government from CSRS to CSRS offset in June of 2010 because of a claim that she was placed in the wrong plan when hired. The administrators created the CSRS offset for people who would not voluntarily switch to the FERS plan ( the "correct" one) which would have basically started my wife at day one.
