Comprehensive Federal Employee Retirement Benefits Planning

​

Retire Federal offers personal fee-for-service consulting for civilian federal employees. We work with employees from all federal agencies, including federal law enforcement officers, firefighters, and those covered by other special provisions of the CSRS and FERS retirement systems. You can receive a one-on-one consultation through a secure Zoom video meeting or by phone. Each session is an opportunity for you to gain a better sense of what you need to do for a smooth transition to your federal retirement. Regardless of whether it is your first day on the job or the last day before retirement, Retire Federal has the experience, knowledge and expertise to simplify and clarify your retirement benefit decisions.

CONSULTATION INFORMATION

​

What to expect:

​

Retirement benefits counseling should be informative, easy to understand and helpful to you, the employee, as you plan for your retirement from federal service.  That is what you will receive when you schedule a one-on-one retirement benefits session with one of Retire Federal's subject matter experts.  There's an old saying, "You don't know what you don't know" that applies to the time you will spend with a seasoned federal benefits expert.  The end result will leave you better informed, perfectly prepared and more confident in your important retirement elections and decisions.  Benefits counseling is the first step in a successful transition to retirement.  Our benefits specialists will help you prepare for the next step in your planning which may include working with a financial adviser, accountant, attorney or insurance broker.
