Federal employees often have valuable benefits, but without the right guidance, they may not understand the rules, options, and decisions that shape their retirement. In this episode of The Registered Investment Advisor Podcast, host Seth Greene interviews Cassie Graves, Founder of Fed Options Consultants and Information Services, who explains how she entered the federal benefits space, why many employees misunderstand retirement eligibility, TSP rules, survivor benefits, and insurance decisions, and how advisors can better serve this specialized market. She also discusses how financial professionals can build credibility by leading with service, understanding federal benefit language, and helping employees make more informed retirement planning decisions.   Key Takeaways: → Federal benefits involve unique rules around pensions, survivor benefits, TSP withdrawals, military service credits, and retirement eligibility that many advisors overlook. → Missing prior service history, part-time service adjustments, or military deposits can significantly impact projected retirement income.    → Federal employees are highly sensitive to transactional sales approaches and respond better to advisors who lead with education and genuine support. → Recent workforce restructuring, early retirement programs, and shifting government policies have created confusion around retirement timing and financial readiness.   → Familiarity with federal systems, terminology, and planning structures helps advisors establish credibility and improve client confidence.     Cassie Graves founded Fed Options Consultants and Information Services, LLC to provide high-level back-office federal benefits support for seasoned financial professionals serving federal employees.  As the spouse of a federal employee, and with many family and friends in federal service, she saw firsthand how often benefits are misunderstood, especially approaching retirement. That insight became her mission: help employees understand the real consequences of their benefit choices.   Connect With Cassie: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fedoptions LinkedIn (Company): https://www.linkedin.com/company/fed-options/ LinkedIn (Personal): https://www.linkedin.com/in/cassie-graves-623ba5132/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Civic engagement correspondent Meg Hamlin-Black talks to Rebecca Davis, co-director and producer of the 2023 documentary Join or Die, a film about why you should join a club, and why the fate of America depends on it. The doc follows the story of America's civic unraveling through the journey of Robert Putnam, whose legendary "Bowling Alone" research into American community decline may hold the answers to our democracy's present crisis. They also discuss the joy of re-reading a book and the physicality of objects. During the Last Chapter they discuss: what is a book that you hated?   Overdueing It is a project funded by the Rhode Island Office of Library and Information Services and is produced by library staff around the Ocean State.
