In accordance with the regulations outlined in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), the annuities of these HARCs will not be impacted by their work in the rural carrier craft.  

Letters have been sent to all rural carriers who have retired within the last five (5) years and to those who were employed as HARCs last year. Annuitant postings will be published from August 14th – September  4th on  www.usps.com/careers.
