Are you a federal employee who also served in the military? Did you know you can buy back your military time to boost your FERS pension and even retire earlier? In this episode of All About FERS,  John walks you through everything you need to know about military buyback, including:  ✅ What buying back military time really means  ✅ How the cost is calculated (and why timing matters)  ✅ The powerful benefits  ✅ When it might not make sense to buy back your time  ✅ Step-by-step guidance on how to start the process For many federal employees, this can be one of the smartest financial moves you ever make, but there are exceptions. Don't miss this ultimate guide to making an informed decision.  

Don't let inflation erode your retirement — this video shows you how you can protect your 2025 Federal Pension COLA for income liquidity from day one.By rolling over a portion of your TSP into an IRA before retirement and having liquid funds in place, you can increase the quality of the first few months of retirement without delays in your pension COLA or benefits.

Don't run out of money before you run out of life—build a written retirement income plan you can count on.Large, poorly timed withdrawals and RMD surprises can wreck a portfolio—separate income from growth and let a tax plan, not emotions, drive your decisions.

DIY retirement income often fails not because of market drops—but because emotional selling, poor tax planning, and wrong withdrawal timing silently drain your savings.For many DIY retirees, the fatal five are market corrections, shifting from accumulation to income without a strategy, lack of access to durable income instruments, mismanaged tax implications, and uncertainty about whether their money will last through retirement.

  If you've spent decades serving as a federal employee, union worker, postal carrier, or railway retiree — your pension is more than a paycheck. It's your power. But without the right strategy, hidden taxes, survivor benefit traps, and costly timing mistakes can erode the retirement you've worked so hard to earn. In this episode of Wisdom to Wealth, Drew [Your Last Name] reveals real stories from federal and union retirees, the pitfalls most people never see coming, and three smart steps to keep more of what you've earned. Whether you're under CSRS, FERS, or a union plan, this conversation is your roadmap to clarity, control, and confidence.

Can you buy back your military time and still keep your military retirement pay?

Social Security is one of the most misunderstood parts of retirement planning. For federal employees and their families, it's not about whether to take it early or late; it's about how to coordinate Social Security with your pension, TSP, survivor benefits, and taxes.

How Social Security interacts with your overall retirement cash flow. What pending legislation could mean for your FERS supplement. Practical strategies to avoid common mistakes. Listen now and get the clarity you need to make Social Security a strong part of your retirement plan. https://zurl.co/cmYMV

Is it possible to request a waiver to access the FERS Supplement two years early? My wife has 32/33 years but only turns 55 in August. Thanks. - Fred https://zurl.co/PcyUl

On this week's episode, I'm discussing the Federal Employees Retirement System, or FERS, a program that covers nearly all civilian federal workers. If you're a federal employee curious about when you're eligible to retire, how your pension is calculated, what the Thrift Savings Plan offers, or how special early retirement and survivor benefits work, this episode is your go-to resource.  We're breaking down the three key components of FERS: your  Basic Benefit Plan (a pension), Social Security, and the Thrift Savings Plan, as well as important details like cost-of-living adjustments and tax considerations. Whether you're just starting your federal career or planning your retirement right now, you'll get practical insights to help you make the most of your retirement benefits. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] I share an overview of how FERS provides federal employees' retirement benefits. [05:02] Your basic benefit plan is calculated using the highest average salary over three consecutive years, often the final service years. [09:52] Federal employees retiring at 55-57 receive a FERS supplement until age 62, calculated by years of service/40 times the estimated Social Security benefit. [11:41] Benefits include cost-of-living adjustments for those 62+ or in special roles, aligned with consumer price index increases. [14:52] FERS survivor benefits are available if the deceased had at least 10 years of service. What is FERS, and Who Does It Cover? As one of the most significant employment sectors in the United States, the federal government supports over 3 million workers, the majority of whom participate in the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS). If you're a federal employee, understanding FERS is vital to planning a comfortable and financially secure retirement. The Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) is the primary retirement plan for U.S. civilian federal employees hired after 1983. According to the Office of Personnel Management, FERS provides retirement income from three sources:   1. The Basic Benefit Plan (a pension). 2. Social Security. 3. The Thrift Savings Plan (TSP), similar to a private sector 401(k). FERS covers different federal professionals, from law enforcement and firefighters to engineers, analysts, and other administrative roles. Special provisions exist for high-risk positions such as air traffic controllers and certain law enforcement officers, which affect their benefit calculations and retirement age. When Can You Retire Under FERS? Retirement eligibility under FERS primarily depends on age and years of credible service. The key term here is Minimum Retirement Age (MRA), which varies based on birth year, from 55 for those born before 1948 to 57 for workers born in 1970 or later. Retirement options include:   Age 62 with 5 years of service. Age 60 with 20 years of service.  MRA with 30 years of service. MRA with 10 years of service (MRA+10), though benefits are reduced by 5% for each year under age 62. Early retirement is available in some situations, such as involuntary separations or major agency reorganizations. In those cases, eligibility can be as early as age 50 with 20 years of service or at any age with 25 years of service. Calculating Your Basic Pension Benefit The FERS pension is calculated using your “high-3” average salary, the highest three consecutive years of basic pay, usually your last three years. The formula generally provides 1% of your high-3 salary for each year of government service (increases to 1.1% if you retire at 62 or older with 20+ years). Special categories, like federal law enforcement or air traffic controllers, receive 1.7% for the first 20 years and 1% thereafter. For example: If you retire at 57 with 30 years of service and your high-3 average is $165,000:   - 30 years x 1% = 30%   - $165,000 x 30% = $49,500 annual pension The FERS Supplement Since some federal employees retire before they're eligible for Social Security (age 62), FERS includes a Special Retirement Supplement. This bridges the income gap until you can claim Social Security, calculated as:   Years of service ÷ 40 x age-62 Social Security benefit For example, with 30 years of service and a projected Social Security benefit of $2,500 per month, the supplement would be $1,875 per month from retirement until age 62. Understanding FERS is essential for federal workers considering retirement. Regularly reviewing your retirement strategy, estimating future benefits, and taking advantage of financial planning resources can help you maximize your retirement security.  Resources Mentioned Retirement Readiness Review Subscribe to the Retire with Ryan YouTube Channel Download my entire book for FREE  US Office of Personnel Management (OPM) FERS Information  Connect With Morrissey Wealth Management  www.MorrisseyWealthManagement.com/contact   Subscribe to Retire With Ryan
