The Retirement Planning Seminar for CSRS, FERS or combined, is designed for employees nearing retirement (within 5 years) and informs attendees about the complex array of benefits they have earned, the choices they need to make as they retire, and how to best leverage them within the context of their overall financial and retirement plan.
Course Objectives
After attending this seminar, attendees will understand the basic financial planning concepts pertinent to retirement as a Federal employee. They will understand the overall Federal retirement process and know when they become eligible to retire, which provisions of retirement law affect the computation of their retirement benefits, how much those benefits are likely to be (CSRS or FERS, Social Security, and TSP), what choices they will need to make regarding survivor benefits, their health (FEHB) and life insurance (FEGLI) coverages, and their TSP funds.
