Learning Objective

  • To review the key health and other insurance pieces of the FERS package.
  • To identify which other aspects of FERS benefits are tied to health and other insurance choices.
  • To explain Medicare.
  • To analyze how Medicare integrates with FERS.

Course Overview

Congress created the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) in 1986, and it became effective on January 1, 1987. While some may be covered under CSRS, most current civilian employees are covered by FERS. 

With all the acronyms, it can be a confusing word salad of civil service retirement benefits. Nowhere is this word salad more evident than in the myriad of health and other insurance benefits under FERS. While FERS is certainly designed to provide robust benefits, making informed choices that impact survivor benefits, your healthcare, and the healthcare of your spouse or dependent children, are key aspects of a comprehensive retirement strategy.

This CPE Finance webinar provides in-depth information on health and insurance puzzle pieces. 

FSA, HSA, FEGLI, and FEHB are only a few of the programs where benefits can be impacted in retirement. If one of the goals of retirement planning is about managing risks, these are key risks to manage.

As Medicare and FERS integration can be extremely confusing, we have devoted an entire webinar to those choices, although we will discuss the intersectionality of federal health benefits and Medicare briefly, here. We will continue to build out your FERS retirement puzzle.

FERS, however, does not cover military personnel or employees of state or local governments. Employees under FERS receive retirement benefits from three sources: the basic benefit plan, Social Security, and the Thrift Savings Plan, or TSP.

Wherever you are in your career with the federal government, this CPE webinar by Ilene Slatko will give you the tools and knowledge to make the choices necessary to have a successful financial future.
