Retirement Financial Literacy and Education Strategy

 

FEP has developed a retirement financial literacy and education strategy for Federal employees.  The plan is designed to educate Federal employees on the need for retirement savings and investment, provide information on how to plan for retirement and how to calculate the retirement investment needed to meet their retirement goals.

 

 

 

We can help Federal Employees and their spouses understand the following benefits:

 

  • Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS and CSRS offset)
  • Federal Employee Retirement System (FERS)
  • Thrift Savings Plan (TSP)
  • Federal Employee Health Benefits (FEHB)
  • Federal Employee Group Life Insurance (FEGLI)
  • Retirement Options and Eligibility
  • Survivor Benefits
  • Monthly Retirement Calculation
  • Social Security Benefits
  • ​Special Retirement Supplement

 

 

 

Whether new to federal service or close to retirement, it is crucial to understand the benefits that are available and how they may change as you enter your retirement years.
