It’s never too early to start planning for retirement in order to ensure it goes smoothly. Here you will find information to help ensure your retirement starts well.
To qualify for payments from the CSRS or the FERS, you must submit a retirement application.
The TSP is a retirement savings and investment plan that offers federal employees the same type of savings and tax benefits that many private corporations offer their employees under 401(k) plans.
The FERS retirement system became effective in 1987, and almost all new federal civilian employees hired after 1983 are automatically covered by this new system.
The Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) originated in 1920 and has provided retirement, disability, and survivor benefits for most civilian employees in the federal government hired prior to December 31, 1983.
Federal law enforcement officers, as defined in statute, are eligible for enhanced retirement benefits.
CBPO retirement coverage is similar to the retirement coverage for law enforcement officers, but is applicable to only those CBPOs who are not currently eligible for LEO retirement coverage.
To qualify for disability retirement, federal employees must prove that they are unable to render useful and efficient service because of their disability or illness.
