FERS Retirement Questions from Peoria Federal Employees

What should I do 5 years before retiring from my Peoria federal job?

Five years before retirement is a critical planning window for Peoria area FERS employees. Key steps include: verifying your service history and correcting any errors; maximizing your TSP contributions (including catch-up contributions if you're 50+); reviewing your FEHB plan options; getting a Social Security earnings statement; and meeting with a FERS retirement planner in Peoria to develop a comprehensive retirement income strategy. The earlier you start planning, the more options you'll have.

How do I maximize my TSP before retiring from Peoria?

To maximize your TSP before retiring from your Peoria federal position: 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 in Peoria can provide personalized TSP optimization guidance.

Can I work part-time after retiring from my Peoria federal position under FERS?

Yes, but there are important rules to be aware of. If you receive the FERS Supplement (paid to retirees under age 62), your supplement will be reduced if your earned income exceeds the annual exempt amount. Additionally, if you return to federal employment, your annuity may be affected. A FERS advisor in Peoria can help you understand the rules and plan your post-retirement work activities to minimize any impact on your benefits.
