Hi all, been a while.
Short Bio: DOD FERS 29 years 9 months. Exit date Jan 31, 2013 VERA VISP.
First, any members with service time left browsing through these forums, take heed well the advise...
Unless I'm in error, you still have a year after retirement to adjust the survivor benefit (and FEGLI).
Being the financial irresponsible person I am, we agreed to 50% survivor benefit, but kept...
Yup, sure is :cheesy:
Now will start spending more time on the board looking at what others have done investment wise, maybe sign up for a little personal assistance :)
Missed out on an Easter...
Following up on OPM's finalization of my annuity I'll have to admit, reading horror stores about how long it could take for it to be adjudicated (is that a good word?), my experience could not have...
It was my understanding that according to IRS tax rules pertaining to Federal Retirement if at retirement you are at MRA and basically qualify to retirement under the system, you do not pay the 10%...
Nasa,
Think you are right about the deposits, they didn't match what I think the annuity payments will be, nor the supplemental pay.
Leave and final paycheck came the following pay date :).
...
Few more transactions occurring in March. (exit date January 31, 2013).
March 7th, two deposit's into personnel account. Without a statement, cannot determine withholdings, or even what it is for ...
Got my letter from the TSP today asking if I want to repay a loan or take a taxable distribution.
Said something about me retiring from the government :D
Congratulations!
Been a bit on pins and needles when leave and VISP would be paid. Happy to say my LES tonight had last week of hours, annual leave payout and VISP all in one deposit. Regular deductions were taken...
Belated congrats!
Tomorrow morning will be my first day NOT back to work!
Seen early back in the thread about a 10 10 percentage, the latter being tagged if not 59 and a half on TSP withdraws....
Beam me up Scotty.
Had had a check out date of January 31st, but the planets surface was becoming unstable, requiring extraction Stardate 13084.4.
Noted in ships logs.
So much depends on the...
Thanks a lot for the referral. I mistakenly read while using the FLGI calculator, that at this time I could elect to change FLGI to the B and C options. The HR rep this morning told me that is not...
I am looking at a FERS Benefit Estimate Report as I type this.
At the top of the page, under Unreduced Monthly Annuity, in the block of Survivor Benefit Reduction, the amount is 10% of the amount of...
The election for survivor benefits in FERS is made at time of separation, and can only be changed if a "life changing event" occurs. Something along the lines of a death of a spouse, divorce, or...
This is along the lines I am thinking. I would surely select the 5% option to keep FEHB. I guess if a spouse worked and had health coverage from a reliable pension plan, that would not be an issue.
...
Khotso, FERS annuity must select at least the 5% or 10% spousal declaration in order for them to be eligible for your FEHB plan.
Frixxxx, I was just married a couple years ago at age 54 for the...
Woke up this morning, and instead of putting on my sweats like I have since mom taught me how, standing and putting one leg in at a time, decided to sit on the bed and pull them up on two legs. Is...
One thing to keep in mind throughout the entire process above.
Don't know the relationship between you and the person you work for, below your supervisor.
The person you work for, regardless of...
Many supervisors require a kick in the butt to get an accommodation process going. Honestly, branch heads in the department I'm assigned to rotate in and out on a biannual basis. For the most part,...
Feels good to be average, especially at an early age :)
Fish will fear me soon.
Had thought that teaching might be something to pursue, in some small capacity.
Hearing many teachers talk not only over crowing and other issues with submissions to administrators makes me feel it...
Thursday, faxed in request for FERS and VISP estimates with Civilian Benefits Center.
Sure wish HR would have let me know sooner it was my responsibility. OPM uses that info for interim annuity...
Mine is 7 1/2, she worked for a year since immigrating, now she kind of likes the housekeeping job. Since I have experience with that position being a single parent since the son was 3, and through...
Something to keep in mind for FERS with Offset pay, TSP cash withdraws count as income. Will assume that not only does TSP report withdraws to the IRS, but to OPM as well. How else would OPM know if...
