FERS New Hire Seminar:
2-Day Course Description

Focus

This seminar is tailored specifically for FERS employees who have recently begun their career with the federal government. Although the material is the same as the Mid-Career and Pre-Retirement seminars, the focus and depth of each section is considerably different. We extensively cover what is important to new employees. Examples include:

  • Financial Literacy: Budgets, emergency funds, debt management.

  • Benefit Breakdown: FEGLI selections, FEHB options, Disability Retirement.

  • TSP: Accumulation, fund selection, and the value of compounding growth.

Purpose

The purpose of this seminar is to educate FERS employees on their benefits and how they can be used to help build a comfortable retirement. The information covered in the session is purely educational in nature and is not designed to provide specific financial investment advice.

Instructor Experience

Many of our team members hold the designation of Charted Federal Employee Benefit Consultant (ChFEBC℠). This designation covers various topics that provide a comprehensive understanding of the benefits federal employees receive throughout their career.

Availability

We do offer both 1-Day and 2-Day versions of the New Hire seminar for your convenience.

The 2-day version is preferred. We are able to spend more time on each section and provide more details, examples, and helpful anecdotes. This helps ensure that those attending the class are able to retain as much knowledge as possible.
