FERS Retirement Questions from Utah Federal Employees

When can I retire under FERS if I work in Utah?

Your FERS retirement eligibility depends on your age and years of creditable service. The most common retirement options are: Immediate retirement at your Minimum Retirement Age (MRA, 55–57 depending on birth year) with 30+ years of service; age 60 with 20+ years; or age 62 with 5+ years. A FERS retirement planner serving Utah can review your specific service history and help you identify your optimal retirement date.

What is the FERS Supplement and do Utah federal employees qualify?

The FERS Special Retirement Supplement bridges the gap between your retirement date and age 62 (when Social Security begins). It approximates the Social Security benefit you earned while working as a federal employee. To qualify, you must retire at your MRA with 30+ years of service, or at age 60 with 20+ years. Federal employees in Utah who retire before 62 may be eligible — contact a FERS advisor to find out if you qualify.

How much should I have in my TSP before retiring from my Utah federal position?

There's no one-size-fits-all answer, but a common guideline is to have 25× your expected annual TSP withdrawal saved (the "4% rule"). For Utah federal employees, the right TSP balance depends on your FERS pension amount, Social Security benefit, and expected retirement expenses. A FERS retirement planner serving Utah can help you determine whether your TSP is on track and develop a withdrawal strategy that minimizes taxes.

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.
