 Hi everyone, I'm Robin, and this is my little area here at the Office of Financial Readiness. I'm fictitious, but the work of financial readiness is real, and so are my answers regarding the new blended retirement system. We call it BRS. BRS. BRS. Put our service to the test. Plus, we wanted to raise awareness about the choices that most service members will have when it comes to their retirement options. So anyway, it's right here where I answer all kinds of questions that come in from land, air, and sea. Like, for example, people who are on the legacy retirement system want to know if they're going to lose their defined benefits if they switch to BRS. No, sir, and no, ma'am. You will not lose your defined benefits if you switch from high 3 to BRS. However, the multiplier for the defined benefit is slightly lower with BRS. Now, service members who are eligible have all of 2018 to decide if they want to opt into BRS. So there are lots of people like me ready to give the facts, because once you make a choice, you won't be able to take it back. Even if you change your mind before the deadline on December 31st, 2018. It's a great day to face your financial future, Robin speaking. How may I help you? Good question. Opting into BRS will not affect your VA benefits. Nope, your TRICARE isn't affected either. Absolutely. Anyway, this is us. We've got your back. From your service to here at Financial Readiness, Military One Source, and especially the personal financial managers and counselors at your installations. Go see them. They're like safari guides in the financial jungle. There's even a low mandatory training you have to take if you're eligible to opt in. We want to make sure you're making the right choice for you and your family. This is my family right here. These are my little babies. So thanks for watching. Share, share, share this video. Spread the word. And thank you for your service.
