FERS Retirement Questions from Maricopa Federal Employees

What are the biggest FERS retirement mistakes made by Maricopa federal employees?

The most common FERS retirement mistakes we see among Maricopa area federal employees include: retiring too early and missing out on the 1.1% pension multiplier; not contributing enough to the TSP to capture the full agency match; choosing the wrong survivor benefit election; claiming Social Security too early; and failing to plan for the tax impact of TSP withdrawals. A FERS advisor in Maricopa can help you avoid these costly errors.

How does Social Security work with my FERS pension in Maricopa?

Unlike employees under the older CSRS system, FERS employees are fully covered by Social Security. Your FERS pension and Social Security work together as two of the three legs of the FERS retirement "stool" (along with your TSP). The optimal Social Security claiming age for Maricopa area federal employees depends on your health, other income sources, and longevity expectations — a FERS retirement planner can help you determine the best strategy.

Can a FERS retirement planner help me with my TSP withdrawal strategy in Maricopa?

Absolutely. TSP withdrawal planning is one of the most important — and most complex — aspects of FERS retirement planning for Maricopa area federal employees. The Spivak Financial Group helps Maricopa clients develop tax-efficient TSP withdrawal strategies that minimize their lifetime tax burden, manage Required Minimum Distributions, and coordinate TSP withdrawals with their FERS pension and Social Security income.
