Preparing for Retirement
If you are considering retirement, there are several actions
that you should take in preparation for leaving Federal service.
First, you should review your Official Personnel Folder to ensure
that your service history is complete. Should there be any inaccuracy, or
the potential to make a deposit of creditable service, our specialists
will assist you with that process. This process can take several months
to complete, depending on the circumstances, so please plan ahead and do not
wait until the last mintute to take action.
Next, you may request
an annuity
estimate run by one of our retirement specialists.
Please keep in mind that our staff resources are limited. The
top priority for our retirement specialists is to ensure that
employees' retirement
paperwork is completed, processed, and submitted in a timely
manner to facilitate punctual payments. Estimates are prepared
on a
first-come-first-served basis. Please understand that we cannot
honor multiple requests.
You should plan to submit your Application for Retirement paperwork to our office
30 to 45 days prior to your targeted retirement date. Our specialists will be happy
to go over these documents with you and answer any questions that you may have.
