Preparing for Retirement

Thursday, March 19, 2026, 2:00 p.m. ET

 

Retirement planning takes time, so it’s best to start at least a year ahead. Check your Electronic Official Personnel Folder (eOPF) for accuracy, get annuity estimates, and talk with your agency’s HR benefits specialist to help make your transition smoother. Join NARFE benefits specialist Tony Opat as he walks us through the retirement process and covers important steps like:

  • Familiarizing yourself with the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) benefits
  • Finalizing your service credits
  • Adjusting your Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) contributions
  • Updating beneficiaries
  • Making decisions about your Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) and Federal Employees’ Group Life Insurance (FEGLI) coverage
  • And more!

A Q&A session will follow the presentation.

Join us and Tony Opat at 2 p.m. ET on March 19 to learn how planning ahead can help you enjoy a smoother retirement transition.
