FERS RETIREMENT PLANNING UTAH
Utah Federal Employees: Maximize Your FERS Benefits
Working at Hill AFB, IRS Ogden, or VA Salt Lake City? Your FERS retirement has moving parts that most advisors don't understand. We specialize in federal retirement planning and help you optimize all three components of your federal pension.
THE PROBLEM
Utah Federal Workers Face These Challenges
Your TSP is invested like it's 1995
Most federal employees have their entire TSP in the G Fund earning 2-3%. Meanwhile, inflation eats away your purchasing power and you're missing decades of potential growth.
You're confused about your pension calculation
What counts as your "high-3"? How do unused sick days affect your pension? Is it better to retire at your MRA or wait until 62? These decisions affect your income for life.
Nobody explains the supplement
The special retirement supplement can bridge the gap until Social Security — but it has earning limits and complex rules. Most advisors don't even know it exists.
FEGLI costs are killing you after 65
Your Federal Employee Group Life Insurance might cost $2,000+ per month after age 65. Most retirees don't realize they can drop it and buy cheaper coverage elsewhere.
