The Retirement Process with Tony Opat
Thursday, September 17, 2 p.m. ET

Planning for federal retirement involves more than choosing a retirement date. Consider your eligibility, years of service, Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) or Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) benefits, Social Security, the Thrift Savings Plan, FEHB and Medicare, survivor benefits, taxes, and potential changes in income. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) advises submitting your retirement application to your agency at least 60 days before your planned retirement date.

NARFE benefits specialist Tony Opat offers a third in-depth overview of the process, which typically takes 3 to 5 months. Learn how to review your retirement estimate carefully and understand how unused sick and annual leave may affect your benefits.
