Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) & FERS Transferee

FERS benefits follow as a close second for complexity to CSRS benefits.  In addition to annual leave, health insurance, life insurance, long-term care insurance and a complicated set of rules for calculating retirement benefits, the FERS employee also has to consider how Social Security and the Thrift Savings Plan fit into their retirement puzzle.  This class will teach participants how to maximize their FERS benefits to retire successfully.
