Frequently Asked Questions
Is this affiliated with OPM?
No, this is an independent educational webinar. We provide non-biased, fiduciary guidance that is not limited by government handbook scripts.
Can I bring my spouse?
Absolutely — we encourage it. Retirement is a joint decision, especially regarding FEHB, Survivor Benefits, and Social Security claiming.
Will I be sold financial products?
This session is purely educational. No financial products will be offered or sold during the webinar. Our goal is clarity, not solicitation.
What if I can't attend live?
Register anyway — we'll email the full replay to every registrant within 48 hours of the live event.
Do I need a Zoom account?
No. You'll get a unique join link the day of the event that works in any modern browser, or in the Zoom app if you prefer.
Is this only for FERS employees?
FERS is the focus, but CSRS and CSRS Offset employees will get value too — especially around Social Security WEP/GPO, FEHB, and FEGLI.
