SUMMARY:Federal Retirement Maximization
DESCRIPTION:**Program hosted in (ET) Time Zone**\n\n\n\nThis course provides federal employees with the essential information they need to make informed decisions before retirement. Participants will learn how to calculate their CSRS or FERS pension\, maximize Social Security benefits\, and understand their TSP options\, along with all they need to know about Federal Employee Health Benefits in retirement. The course also explains eligibility for the FERS Supplement and the 10% pension bonus available to certain retirees.
