Whether you’re five years or fifteen from retirement, learn how to protect your benefits and design your next chapter — before Washington writes it for you.

The recent 40-plus-day government shutdown shook a lot of federal employees. Missed paychecks, uncertainty, and political gridlock have left many wondering:

“Do I really want to go through this again?”
“What happens to my pension, TSP, FEHB, and insurance if I leave?”
“How do I safely transition to the private sector — without blowing up my benefits?”

This complimentary educational workshop was created to help you understand your options, avoid costly mistakes, and build a plan that lets you move forward with confidence — whether you stay or go.

At This Complimentary Workshop, You’ll Learn:

Federal Income & Pension Transition Strategies

• How to evaluate the real impact of leaving federal service before full retirement eligibility.

• What happens to your FERS pension — and how to calculate potential reductions.

• How to plan for the income gap if you transition to the private sector early.

• Key differences between post-government employment pension options and federal retirement income streams.

TSP & Withdrawal Insights

• The biggest mistakes federal employees make with their TSP when changing careers.

• How to protect your TSP from unnecessary taxes and penalties.

• Whether it makes sense to keep your TSP, move it, or roll it into other retirement accounts.

• How your withdrawal strategy changes when you exit federal service before full retirement age.

FEHB, FEGLI & Insurance Decisions When Leaving Federal Service

• Whether you can keep your FEHB health insurance — and under what conditions.

• What happens to your FEGLI life insurance when you separate from service.

• Affordable alternatives if you lose eligibility.

• Smart planning steps to avoid coverage gaps during and after your transition.

Tax & Financial Implications of Leaving Federal Service

• How early separation affects your federal retirement taxes.

• Coordinating taxes, investments, and income streams when shifting to the private sector.

• Why ignoring these factors can cost federal employees tens of thousands in avoidable taxes.

Employment Transition & Next-Chapter Planning

• How to assess whether the private sector or self-employment is a good fit for your next phase.

• How to evaluate salary expectations, benefits comparisons, and long-term financial security.

• How to design a transition plan that supports your goals — not Washington’s turbulence.

Why You Should Attend

• If the shutdown rattled you, you’re not alone — thousands of federal employees are asking the same questions.

• You’ll learn how to protect the benefits you’ve spent a career earning.

• You’ll understand your real options — without politics, pressure, or sales pitches.

• You’ll gain clarity on pensions, health insurance, life insurance, TSP, and taxes — the things federal workers can’t afford to misunderstand.

• You’ll leave with a clearer path forward, whether you choose to retire, transition to the private sector, or stay in federal service with a stronger strategy.

This session is especially relevant for federal employees who have:

• 10–25 years of service

• Significant TSP balances

• Concerns about future shutdowns

• Questions about how to protect FEHB and pension eligibility

• A desire to take control of their financial and career future
