Transform Your Benefits into a Brighter Future

The Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) was introduced in 1987 to replace the older CSRS system. It provides a reliable retirement income for U.S. federal employees, based on their age and years of service. FERS includes pensions and other benefits in four key areas. At Federal Pension Advisors, we simplify FERS for you. We educate you on how the system works, helping you maximize your benefits!

Get the Green Light: Eligibility Check

Curious about when you can start receiving benefits? The FERS Pension provides a reliable monthly income based on your salary and years of service. Unlike the Thrift Savings Plan, FERS ensures a steady stream of income throughout your retirement.
  • Immediate: Begins within 30 days of retirement. Eligible at 62 with 5 years, or 60 with 20 years of service.
  • Early: Available during involuntary separations or major reorganizations. Requires 25 years of service, or 20 years if over 50.
  • Deferred: For those with at least 5 years of service, benefits start at 62. Reduced by 5% per year before 62.
  • Disability: For employees with 18 months of service who become disabled. The disability must last over a year and cannot be accommodated.
