Helping You Maximize Your Federal Benefits with Confidence and Clarity
You’ve been a federal employee for many years, and you know that entitles you to certain benefits. However, what benefits you can access and how to take advantage of those benefits can be challenging. You can utilize some of your benefits to make retirement easier and more comfortable. You need more information about these benefits and when you can begin to use them. Many of the benefits are available to you almost as soon as you become a civilian federal employee. If you take advantage of them early, they can become a larger nest egg for when you retire. Help is available to assist you in navigating your available federal employee benefits.
Key Federal Employee Benefits Available to You
No matter how old you are, you need to start planning for your retirement. There are several benefits that you have as a civilian federal employee that can help. These include:
- Thrift Savings Plan (TSP): Your TSP fund is made up of C, S, I, F, and G Funds. These funds operate on Lifecycle Funds (L Funds) and are determined by your target date for retirement so that you’re ready. When you know the varied rates of returns on each fund, you can use that information to maximize your savings and earnings to retire more comfortably.
- Federal Employees’ Group Life Insurance (FEGLI): The FEGLI program offers three choices: Option A (Standard), Option B (Additional), and Option C (Family). These choices make it easy to cover yourself or your entire family, depending on your needs and future goals. Option A shares the cost between the employee and the government, while the employee covers the full cost of the other two.
- Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) and Medicare: FEHB offers a range of flexible plans for employees, retirees, and some eligible family members. You can choose among high deductible health plans (HDHPs), fee-for-service, and health maintenance organizations (HMOs). The employee or retiree and the government share the cost of the premiums of these plans. In many cases, you can use your FEHB and Medicare benefits to minimize your healthcare costs.
Making the right choices can feel overwhelming, but working with a professional consultant helps.
Making the Most of Your Federal Retirement Benefits
Retirement planning is essential to meet your goals and ensure you don’t spend your Golden Years worrying about making ends meet. Social Security isn’t enough. You can begin taking advantage of federal benefits as soon as you become a federal worker. The FEGLI program and TSP funds will help you maximize your savings for the future and protect your family if something happens to you. When you combine FEHB and Medicare benefits, you can more easily afford the healthcare you need in retirement.
