OUR STORY

What we do and how we got here

In addition to the Chartered Federal Employee Benefits Consultant (ChFEBC) and FedSmart certificates, our team includes Retirement Management Analysts (RMA), CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER professionals, and BA, BS and MBA degree holders.

They have helped thousands of FERS and CSRS participants understand their pensions and benefits, and have helped complete hundreds of retirement packets.

Straight answers

The questions people ask before they trust us with a retirement date.

We're not the government.

Federal Benefits and Retirement is a private firm and a federal contractor, founded in San Antonio in 2016. We provide trainings that satisfy OPM training requirements for agencies, but we are not part of, affiliated with or endorsed by OPM.

How we get paid.

The review costs you nothing, and nothing is sold in it. If you later decide to use one of our affiliates, they may charge fees, and those fees will be disclosed to you beforehand.

What a personal review covers.

Your annuity estimate, TSP allocation, survivor elections and health coverage, using your own service computation date rather than a general example.

Who a review is for.

Any federal employee, at any point in their career. Spouses are welcome, and in our experience the review goes better when they come. Group training for a whole department is arranged separately, through your agency.

Sit down with one of them.

A personal benefits review is free, one on one, and uses your actual numbers.
