FEDERAL EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INFORMATION

Federal retirement runs on specific rules—Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) and Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) annuity computations, Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) withdrawal options, and Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) continuation requirements. We explain how those rules work in plain English so you know what to look up in your own records.

OPM handbooks and plan documents are accurate but dense. We break the same material into plain-English guides so the details you need—eligibility ages, service credit, survivor elections—are easier to find and understand.

The parts of a federal retirement interact: unused sick leave adds service credit, survivor elections generally control FEHB continuation for a spouse, and TSP choices shape your income mix. Our materials explain those connections so your review covers the whole picture, not one benefit at a time.
