🍂 Peak fall color only lasts a week or two. Retirement means you can go when the leaves are ready, not when the PTO calendar says you can.

🥾 Inside the Beltway, peak color usually lands around Halloween and into the first week of November.

Planning for retirement is really planning for days like these.

🎃 From stoops to cul-de-sacs, Halloween is all about the decorations, costumes, and traditions that make this time of year so fun! 👻

Wishing everyone a spooktacular Halloween weekend! 🍬

👻 Don’t Be Haunted by Unused Sick Leave

Think your unused sick leave disappears when you retire?

For eligible federal employees, it can actually count toward your creditable service when calculating a FERS retirement annuity.

It doesn’t determine retirement eligibility, but it can affect the amount of your benefit once you qualify for an immediate annuity.

Before you retire, take a look at your unused sick leave and understand how it could factor into your retirement calculation.

🧭 How Well Do You Know Your Federal Benefits?

📋 FERS or CSRS. TSP. FEHB. Social Security. Life insurance. Beneficiary designations. There’s a lot that can make up your federal retirement picture.

🔎 A year-end review can be a chance to see what you have, what has changed, and where you may still have questions.

🍂 December 31 Will Be Here Before You Know It

📅 Fall is a good time to look ahead at the financial decisions you may want to make before the year ends.

📋 RMDs, Roth conversions, charitable giving, and other year-end moves can involve more than a quick decision. It can also be a good time to look at how your benefits and broader financial picture fit together.

⏳ Getting ahead of the details can give you more time to make informed decisions before the year closes.

Would You Rather: Morning walk in the city or sunset by the water?

✨ The goal is to build a retirement that gives you the time to enjoy the moments that used to get squeezed between work, commutes, and busy schedules.

Your Money Could Go Somewhere You Didn’t Expect

📄 Your will is important, but it may not be the document that determines who receives every account or benefit.

👤 TSP, life insurance, retirement accounts, and other benefits can have their own beneficiary designations. Keeping those forms current should be part of the bigger estate-planning picture.

🔎 Life changes. Your beneficiary forms should keep up.

5 Questions YOUR Financial Advisor Should Know

🧭 Not every financial advisor works with federal employees every day. It’s worth understanding whether they know the benefits and retirement systems that are part of your picture.

📝 FERS, CSRS, TSP, FEHB, Social Security, and life insurance can all play a role. These five questions are a simple place to start when getting to know an advisor.

You don’t need a perfect set of answers. You need a conversation that helps you understand how they can work with your situation.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Never missing another family event?
🌲 Finally having the time to enjoy the outdoors?

📅 A Head Start on FEHB Open Season

Federal Benefits Open Season returns each November, but the decision-making can start before enrollment opens.

For federal employees and retirees, October can be a good time to gather current plan information, review doctors and prescriptions, and consider whether your expected healthcare needs have changed. 🩺

FEHB is also just one part of the broader federal retirement picture, which may include FERS or CSRS, TSP, Social Security, and life insurance. Looking at these pieces together can provide helpful context when evaluating your coverage options.
