CSRS Employees – Internal Benefit Advisors
CSRS – Employees :- If you were hired before December 31, 1983. You are more than likely a Civil Service employee. Which means that you take part in the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS). There are many aspects of being a CSRS – Employees that you need to be aware of. Internal Benefits Advisors can walk you through. Some of the most important topics that we can help you understand are:
- How to keep your federal health insurance in place through retirement not only for you but for your surviving spouse as well.
- How to determine your “RSCD” or Retirement Service Computation Date. Getting this number wrong can mean you are not eligible to retire and it will take OPM up to 6 months to catch the error. If it turns out you were not eligible, you could have to go back to work (this has actually happened to hundreds of employees).
- Military time – Should you buy it back and if so, how much will it cost you?
- Temporary time – Will it count towards retirement and if so, how much?
- Voluntary Contribution Accounts – How to manage those monies in order to reduce taxes.
- How much of a survivor’s annuity should you leave to your spouse, and is the government annuity the best way to go?
- How to maximize your TSP funds in retirement and lower your taxes.
