Re: Differences for CSRS, FERS Retirees
I left my Fed job in 04, but I seem to recall different figures than what James posted. As I recall, the FERS pension was about 42% of your high 3, the CSRS pension was close to 80%. FERS made up for the difference by adding in Social Security and the TSP. CSRS employees do not have access to Social Security (though I think they had access to Medicare) and (initially) did not have access to the TSP.
Am I all wet here?
To get to the light at the end of the tunnel, you have to be willing to face the train.
