Learning Objective

  • To discuss the difference between Social Security and Supplemental Annuity.
  • To identify the full retirement age (FRA) under Social Security.
  • To explain the impacts of taking SS early or taking delayed benefits. 
  • To project potential gaps in retirement income and plan a solution.
  • To continue to build your FERS puzzle.

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.

One of the three main components under FERS is Social Security. Before attaining age 62, FERS includes a Supplemental Annuity payment that bridges the start of retirement until the beginning of eligibility to claim Social Security benefits. Understanding how this third piece of the puzzle can both assist and trap you is key to successful retirement planning under FERS.

This CE/CPE Finance course provides in-depth information on these major puzzle pieces and explains how they work together. Attendees will achieve a level of understanding and mastery of these financial components as they work towards a comprehensive retirement strategy and continue to build their FERS retirement puzzle.

Did you know that most people lock into a pay cut during their retirement years?

Do you want to know the strategies to give yourself a nearly 50% raise?

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.

Key topics covered in this course:

  • Social Security: the Third Component of FERS
  • SS Decreased/Enhanced Benefit Chart
  • Social Security Facts
  • FERS Supplemental Annuity
  • Key Actions to Take: A Check-up of Financial Preparedness
