FERS Retirement Questions from New Mexico Federal Employees

What federal agencies employ FERS employees in New Mexico?

Federal employees in New Mexico work for a wide range of agencies, including the Department of Defense, Veterans Affairs, Social Security Administration, IRS, USPS, Department of Homeland Security, and many others. Regardless of which agency you work for in New Mexico, if you were hired after January 1, 1984, you are most likely covered under FERS. The Spivak Financial Group serves FERS employees from all federal agencies throughout New Mexico.

How is FERS different from CSRS for New Mexico federal employees?

FERS (Federal Employees Retirement System) replaced CSRS (Civil Service Retirement System) for most federal employees hired after January 1, 1984. The key differences: FERS employees are covered by Social Security (CSRS employees generally are not); FERS has a smaller pension formula (1% vs. 2% per year); FERS includes the TSP with agency matching (CSRS employees can contribute to the TSP but receive no agency match). If you're a New Mexico federal employee unsure which system you're under, a FERS advisor can help.

Can New Mexico federal employees retire early under FERS?

Yes — FERS offers several early retirement options for New Mexico federal employees. The most common is retiring at your Minimum Retirement Age (MRA, 55–57) with 30+ years of service. There are also special provisions for law enforcement officers, firefighters, and air traffic controllers. Additionally, Voluntary Early Retirement Authority (VERA) and Voluntary Separation Incentive Pay (VSIP) opportunities sometimes arise. A FERS retirement planner serving New Mexico can help you evaluate your early retirement options.
