Federal Retirement Planning

Comprehensive Federal Benefits Optimization — Built Around Your Unique Situation

Most federal employees retire with more benefits than they realize — and more decisions than anyone warned them about. One wrong choice can cost you tens of thousands of dollars. Or more.

The Reality

Your Federal Career Earned This. Let's Make Sure Your Retirement Reflects It.

Federal retirement isn't like anything else. FERS, TSP, FEGLI, Social Security, survivor benefits, FEHB — these benefits are unlike anyone else's. And when your advisor doesn't understand how they interact, you're the one who pays the price.

Common Mistake
FEGLI Over-Insurance

Many federal employees are paying thousands in premiums for FEGLI coverage they don't need — especially Option B, which can spike dramatically after age 50. A proper analysis often reveals significant savings.

Common Mistake
TSP Misallocation

Defaulting to the G Fund or ignoring your Roth TSP option could cost you hundreds of thousands in long-term growth. Most federal employees never optimize their TSP allocation.

Common Mistake
Social Security Timing Errors

Claiming at the wrong age — or without coordinating your FERS pension and TSP withdrawals — can permanently reduce your monthly income. Timing matters more than most people realize.

Common Mistake
FERS Calculation Errors

Small errors in your FERS seniority calculation, survivor benefit elections, or FEHB supplement planning can cost you thousands — permanently. These decisions can't always be undone after retirement.


Services

Six Ways We Make Sure You Retire With Everything You've Earned

Each service builds on the others to create a complete retirement strategy. We handle the technical details so you can focus on living.

Federal Retirement Planning (FERS/CSRS)

Your pension is the foundation of your retirement income — but only if you retire at the right time with the right calculations. We verify your FERS seniority date, run pension projections, navigate special provisions, and make sure your pension pays what you've actually earned — every year.

What this means for you: You know exactly what your pension will be — and you retire with confidence, not guesswork.
TSP Optimization

How you take money out of your TSP matters just as much as how you put it in. We analyze both Traditional and Roth, TSP withdrawal strategies, Required Minimum Distributions, and build a plan that makes your TSP last as long as you need it to.

What this means for you: Your TSP becomes a tax-efficient income engine — not a source of stress or surprise tax bills.
FEGLI Optimization

FEGLI premiums spike dramatically at age 50, 60, and 65 — especially Option B. We analyze your coverage, compare private alternatives, and help you eliminate unnecessary cost without sacrificing protection for your family.

What this means for you: You keep the protection you need at a cost that makes sense — not what OPM defaults you into.
Social Security Strategy

The Social Security Fairness Act (2024) repealed WEP and GPO — meaning most federal employees now receive their full benefit. But when you claim still matters enormously. We coordinate your Social Security timing with your FERS pension, TSP withdrawals, and tax strategy to maximize your lifetime income.

What this means for you: Every dollar you've earned from Social Security gets maximized — not left on the table.
Survivor Benefits Analysis

Choosing the wrong survivor benefit election can leave your spouse without income — or cost you thousands in unnecessary premiums. We help you balance spousal protection with your retirement income needs, factoring in FEGLI, life insurance, and annuity options.

What this means for you: Your spouse is protected. And you didn't overpay to make it happen.
Federal Health Benefits (FEHB)

Transitioning from FEHB to Medicare is one of the most confusing decisions federal employees face. We map your FEHB coverage timeline, analyze IRMAA impacts, compare private alternatives, and build a cost-effective healthcare strategy that protects you through retirement.

What this means for you: You'll never pay twice for the same coverage — and you won't lose FEHB eligibility by making the wrong move.

Our 4-Step Process

Four Questions That Determine Whether You Retire Comfortably — Or Leave Money on the Table

Most advisors focus only on investments. We look at your entire financial picture to identify gaps, minimize taxes, protect against catastrophic costs, and build the legacy you want to leave.

1
Income
Income Gap Analysis

We identify exactly where your income comes from — FERS pension, TSP withdrawals, Social Security, VA disability — and map any gaps between what you'll have and what you'll need. Then we build strategies to fill those gaps with guaranteed, tax-efficient income sources.

What this means for you: You'll know exactly how much money you'll have every month in retirement — and whether it's enough for the life you want.
2
Protection
Tax Efficiency Planning

We minimize your lifetime tax burden by coordinating your TSP pension as ordinary income, TSP withdrawals (based on account type), Social Security timing, and strategic Roth conversion opportunities — so tax planning decisions today don't cost you significantly in retirement.

What this means for you: You never get surprised by a massive tax bill — and you avoid the shock of a major TSP withdrawal triggering IRMAA.
3
Longevity
Long-Term Care Planning

We protect your retirement savings from the catastrophic costs of long-term care. Whether through insurance, asset positioning, or VA benefits, we build strategies that ensure your retirement plan doesn't collapse if you or your spouse needs extended care.

What this means for you: Your retirement savings stay intact — even if healthcare costs skyrocket or one of you needs care later in life.
4
Legacy
Legacy Planning

We help you leave the legacy you want — whether that's providing for your spouse, passing assets to children or grandchildren, or supporting charitable causes. Our estate and tax strategies ensure your family is taken care of — without unnecessary taxes, probate delays, or family conflict.

What this means for you: The people and causes you care about are taken care of — without unnecessary taxes or probate eating what you've built.

Strategic Solutions

Protecting What You've Built — So Your Retirement Doesn't Disappear

Federal retirement planning isn't just about your FERS pension and TSP. It's about protecting your assets from taxes, healthcare costs, and catastrophic losses — and making sure your family is taken care of if something happens to you.

Estate Planning with Digital Trust Packages

Avoid probate, protect your family, and ensure your wishes are followed. Our comprehensive trust packages include revocable living trusts, financial and medical powers of attorney, HIPAA releases, and healthcare directives.

What this means: Your family won't be stuck in court for months trying to access accounts or make medical decisions.
Tax-Efficient Roth Conversion Strategies

Convert your Traditional TSP or IRA to Roth strategically. We model the tax impact across your FERS pension, TSP withdrawals, Social Security, and tax brackets — helping you identify conversion opportunities that make sense for your situation.

What this means: You pay less in taxes over your lifetime — and you've been intentional about every dollar.
Annuities for Guaranteed Lifetime Income

When you need income you can't outlive, we help you evaluate annuity options that complement your FERS pension — ensuring you have guaranteed cash flow no matter how long you live. We never push products — only strategies that fit.

What this means: Your retirement income is protected from market crashes, inflation, and longevity risk.
Life Insurance Beyond FEGLI

FEGLI Option B becomes prohibitively expensive after age 60. We help you replace it with private life insurance that costs less and provides better coverage — protecting your family without draining your retirement.

What this means: Your spouse and family stay protected — without paying $500, $800, or $1,000+ per month for coverage that expires when you need it most.
Medicare, FEHB, ACA & ECHRA Coordination

Navigate the transition from FEHB to Medicare without losing coverage or overpaying. We analyze ACA options for early retirees, explore ECHRA strategies, and build cost-effective comprehensive healthcare coverage throughout retirement.

What this means: You'll never pay twice for the same coverage — and you won't lose FEHB eligibility by making the wrong Medicare enrollment decision.
Military VA Disability & Final Expense Planning

Help with VA disability ratings challenges for military federal employees, plus final expense insurance to ensure your family isn't burdened with end-of-life costs. You gave your career — your family deserves to be protected.

What this means: If you're a veteran, you'll maximize every benefit you've earned — and your family won't be stuck with funeral costs or medical bills when you're gone.
