FERS Retirement Questions from Washington Federal Employees

What federal agencies employ FERS employees in Washington?

Federal employees in Washington 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 Washington, 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 Washington.

How is FERS different from CSRS for Washington 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 Washington federal employee unsure which system you're under, a FERS advisor can help.

Can Washington federal employees retire early under FERS?

Yes — FERS offers several early retirement options for Washington 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 Washington can help you evaluate your early retirement options.
