How do I calculate my FERS High-3 salary in Rochester?

Your FERS High-3 average salary is the highest average basic pay you earned during any three consecutive years of service — not necessarily your final three years, though it usually is. For Rochester area federal employees, this calculation can be more complex if you've had pay changes, promotions, or periods of part-time service. A FERS retirement planner in Rochester can help you calculate your High-3 accurately and identify strategies to maximize it before retirement.

Should I elect the FERS survivor benefit for my spouse if I retire from Rochester?

The survivor benefit election is one of the most important and irreversible decisions you'll make at FERS retirement. Electing the full survivor benefit costs 10% of your pension but provides your spouse with 50% of your annuity if you die first. For Rochester area federal employees, the right decision depends on your spouse's health, income, and other assets. A FERS advisor in Rochester can help you weigh the options and make the right choice for your family.
