FERS Retirement Questions from Lakewood Federal Employees

How does FERS retirement work for Lakewood federal employees?

FERS is a three-part retirement system for federal employees in Lakewood and across the country. It consists of: (1) the Basic Benefit Plan — a defined benefit pension based on your years of service and High-3 salary; (2) the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) — a 401(k)-style savings plan with agency matching contributions; and (3) Social Security. Coordinating all three components effectively is the key to maximizing your FERS retirement income.

What is the FERS Minimum Retirement Age for Lakewood federal employees?

The FERS Minimum Retirement Age (MRA) depends on your birth year: born before 1948 = MRA 55; born 1948–1952 = MRA 55–56 (graduated); born 1953–1964 = MRA 56; born 1965–1969 = MRA 56–57 (graduated); born 1970 or later = MRA 57. Federal employees in Lakewood can retire at their MRA with 30+ years of service and receive an immediate, unreduced annuity. A FERS retirement planner in Lakewood can help you determine your MRA and plan your retirement date accordingly.

How much will my FERS pension be if I retire from Lakewood?

Your FERS pension is calculated as: 1% × High-3 Average Salary × Years of Creditable Service (or 1.1% if you retire at 62+ with 20+ years). For example, a Lakewood area federal employee with a $90,000 High-3 salary and 30 years of service would receive a pension of approximately $27,000 per year ($2,250/month) before taxes. A FERS retirement planner in Lakewood can calculate your exact pension estimate and help you maximize it.
