FERS Retirement Questions from New Orleans Federal Employees

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

The most common FERS retirement mistakes we see among New Orleans 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 New Orleans can help you avoid these costly errors.

How does Social Security work with my FERS pension in New Orleans?

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 New Orleans 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 New Orleans?

Absolutely. TSP withdrawal planning is one of the most important — and most complex — aspects of FERS retirement planning for New Orleans area federal employees. The Spivak Financial Group helps New Orleans 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.

Is The Spivak Financial Group a fiduciary FERS advisor for New Orleans federal employees?

Yes. The Spivak Financial Group is a fiduciary financial advisor, which means we are legally obligated to act in your best interest at all times. We do not earn commissions on product sales — our advice is always objective and focused on maximizing your FERS retirement benefits. We serve New Orleans area federal employees throughout Louisiana via phone and Zoom.
