North Carolina provides a state pension for those in the NCNG who meet the eligibility requirements and are 60 years of age.
20 years of military service = $105 per month
Each additional year = $10.50 per year
30 years of total military service = $210 per month (max allowable pension)
To qualify for the NCNG pension benefit, you must meet all of the following requirements:
- You are 60 years old.
- You have served and qualified for at least 20 years’ creditable military service, including National Guard, reserve and active duty, under the same requirement specified for entitlement to retired pay for nonregular service under Chapter 67, Title 10, United States Code.
- Have at least 15 years of the aforementioned service as a member of the North Carolina National Guard.
- Have received an honorable discharge from the North Carolina National Guard.
Once your retirement is processed, you will be able to register your secure ORBIT account. We suggest you use a personal email for access. With ORBIT, you will be able to view information related to your pension payment, direct deposit and address information.
