What should Massachusetts federal employees do 5 years before retiring under FERS?

Five years before retirement is a critical planning window for Massachusetts FERS employees.

How do Massachusetts federal employees maximize their TSP before retirement?

To maximize your TSP before retiring: contribute at least 5% to capture the full agency match; consider increasing contributions to the annual IRS limit ($23,500 in 2025, plus $7,500 catch-up if you're 50+); review your investment allocation and rebalance as needed; and consider whether traditional or Roth TSP contributions are more advantageous for your tax situation. A FERS retirement planner serving Massachusetts can provide personalized TSP optimization guidance.

What is the difference between a FERS advisor and a regular financial planner in Massachusetts?

A FERS advisor specializes in the unique rules, benefits, and strategies that apply specifically to federal employees covered under FERS. Unlike a general financial planner in Massachusetts, a FERS specialist understands the nuances of FERS pension calculations, TSP fund options, FEHB in retirement, the FERS Supplement, and survivor benefit elections — knowledge that can make a significant difference in your retirement outcome.
