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.Â
Although we speak broadly about FERS, in this program we abandon FERS specific topics to introduce the concept of behavioral financial decision-making. Successful retirement planning depends on the choices we make at each intersection. Do we get in our way? Undoubtedly so, according to statistics.
This CE/CPE Finance course provides in-depth information on the various types of risk and details how our lens for viewing risk may co-opt the true risk of our decisions. Participants will learn how their financial decision-making strategies work and how they can be strengthened. We continue to build each participant FERS retirement puzzle; this course adds additional pieces to the 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 CE/CPE webinar will give you the tools and knowledge to make the choices necessary to have a successful financial future.Â
To identify different financial risk categories.
To analyze the cycle of decision-making and how to de-couple emotion.
To study how you approach financial decisions and how to use that knowledge for your best outcome.
To continue to build your FERS puzzle.
