Hi All
Recently there has been some discussion on FERS (Federal Employees Retirement System) and retirement. It so happened that is one of the reasons I joined here. I have in my short time learned a great deal from some very smart people here.
Two days ago our HR department put on a retirement seminar/briefing for employees and families. It was a one day presentation and I have asked if I could post the briefing here. Your administrators have given me permission. I hope you will find the information valuable for your your situations if you are FERS employees or know someone.
If anyone has questions on the information presented please ask. If you need to you can call the 877 number listed on slide 5 or 6. ABC (Army Benefit Center is the FERS inter-agency that takes you from your local HR to the final destination at retirement of OPM. It helps stream line the process and gets everyone on the road to enjoying their retirement.
There are two things that I took as important for everyone to take from this. Besides starting early investing the two are call for a retirement estimate and expect a two month period at the end as you retire to not be paid. Calling for the estimate will give you an idea how much and what you will need to do if you are missing time or what have you to buy back. Calling the number will get you that information in a report. Second they can also contact DFAS in your behalf to get paid receipts for military buy back time.
Enjoy everyone. Thanks to Gumby for helping out here.
