What's Inside the 14-Page Guide

The 10 moves, by urgency

Built from Ann Werts' April 9, 2026 Weber State workshop — where 42 federal employees got walked through the exact moves most feds miss in the 5 years before retirement.

01Download your eOPF before you walk out the door
02Audit your SF-50s and beneficiary forms
03Price out a military buyback (often pays for itself in year 1)
04Know which of the three doors you're walking through
05Work the 1.1% multiplier — a 10% raise on your pension, for life
06Convert unused sick leave into creditable service
07Pick the right retirement date (worth thousands)
08Lock in FEHB for the rest of your life — the 5-year rule
09Don't get blindsided by the 2026 Roth catch-up mandate
10Set up your state tax withholding yourself — OPM won't

"The average federal employee works 2.5 years longer than they need to. Usually because nobody told them about the three doors."

"Mike and his staff are the best! We previously were with two other financial planners whose fees were too high and their investment ability had no comparison to Mike. He was also the only one who addressed taxes. Mike got our retirement finances completely organized and set up for the long haul."
