Airmen eligible for the new Blended Retirement System (BRS) are receiving email notifications from myPers that include details of the new retirement system, a link to mandatory training about the opt-in process and how to enroll in the BRS. Only those active Airmen who, as of Dec. 31, 2017, have served fewer than 12 years, or Reserve Airmen who have accrued fewer than 4,320 retirement points, will have the option of electing BRS or remaining in the legacy retirement system. BRS information is continuously updated on myPers. Click "Retirement" from any military landing page. Also, a live chat feature on BRS is available for Airmen.
