Frequently Asked Questions
Is this affiliated with OPM?
No, this is an independent educational workshop. 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 workshop. Our goal is clarity, not solicitation.
Where exactly is the venue?
