Should you Leave Federal Service Early?

Should you leave Federal Service before you’re eligible for full retirement?  I know you’re thinking about it. 😉

There are different forms of “early” retirement from Federal service – Some with an immediate pension, some with a postponed pension, and some with a reduced pension. 

But, leaving early has a price tag.  You will be walking away from some valuable benefits – they don’t call them “golden handcuffs” for nothing! 

Join me as we discuss the following forms of early separation and the pros & cons of each:

• Separating before you’re eligible for an immediate pension
• MRA + 10 Retirement
• VERA & VSIP (aka. Early Outs and Buyouts)
