FAQ

FERS is a retirement plan that provides benefits from three different sources: a Basic Benefit Plan, Social Security and the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP). Two of the three parts of FERS (Social Security and the TSP) can go with you to your next job if you leave the Federal Government before retirement.

At age 65 • At age 62 with 10 or more years of credited service • At any combination of years of credited service and age, totaling 80 points. Example: If you have 31 years of credited service and you are 49 years of age, you will be eligible for a normal retirement because you have 80 points (49 + 31 = 80).

When it comes to retirement, ASRS members are “vested” from the date their first contribution is received. Members may keep their funds on account with ASRS until they meet their normal retirement criteria, at which point they can retire, even with only 1 month of service.

You must work at least 5 years with the Federal Government before you are eligible for a FERS Federal Pension, and for every year you work, you will be eligible for at least 1% of your High-3 Average Salary History.

Federal career employees receive retirement benefits through either the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) or the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS). Both are defined benefit, contributory retirement systems.

The most commonly recommended rule of thumb is the so-called 4% rule, which means you spend 4% of your portfolio every year, on an inflation-adjusted basis. So if you retire with $1 million, you take $40,000 the first year and then the next year you take out a little more based on inflation.
