Are you a federal employee (or aspiring federal employee) who served, or is serving, in the uniformed services? Or, are you a uniformed servicemember married to a federal employee?
 
If so, you have access to two very robust but complex benefits systems. Are you getting the most out of them?
 
When your career spans both federal and uniformed service, there are some key interaction points between your military, veteran, and federal benefits. You can easily find regulations and guidance for each benefit system individually, but it can be more difficult to understand how they interact. Families sometimes miss benefits they earned simply because they don't understand how small benefits decisions can have big impacts on pension income, health care options, survivor protections, and tax efficiency.
 
Join Amy King, a financial planner who serves uniformed servicemembers, veterans, and federal employees, to learn about key areas of intersection between your benefits systems. Topics include: 

• Understanding creditable service for leave and retirement eligibility
  
  
• Understanding military service deposits and factors to consider before “buying back” your military time
  
  
• Managing your uniformed service and civilian Thrift Savings Plan account
  
  
• Coordinating health care benefits across TRICARE, the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program, the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP), and Medicare (and taking advantage of tax efficiency when possible!)
  
  
• Integrating the Survivor Benefit Program with Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) survivor benefit elections and Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance (FEGLI)
  
  
• Unique considerations for Guard and Reserve servicemembers

 
If your family has access to the benefits of uniformed service as well as federal service, this webinar will help you understand how to build a coordinated plan that maximizes those benefits and supports long-term financial readiness. Register today!
