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
are 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.
