Office of Personnel Management (OPM)
Latest News - "OPM is fully committed to eliminating improper payments to deceased annuitants, and I have been working closely with the Inspector General to achieve this. As the IG's report notes, we have already implemented 10 of their 14 recommendations. In addition, I have named four senior members of my staff who will work directly with me to resolve the final four. Leading the effort will be Chuck Grimes, our COO, Mark Lambert, our head of Oversight and Compliance, Ken Zawodny, our new head of Retirement Services, and Steve Agostini, our Chief Financial Officer. I plan to stay on top of this weekly to make sure we are making progress on this problem.

Long Term Care Partners
Overview - The Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP) provides long term care insurance for its enrollees, who are Federal and U.S. Postal Service employees and annuitants, active and retired members of the uniformed services, and their qualified relatives.
Thrift Savings Plan
The Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) is a retirement savings and investment plan for Federal employees and members of the uniformed services, including the Ready Reserve. It was established by Congress in the Federal Employees' Retirement System Act of 1986 and offers the same types of savings and tax benefits that many private corporations offer their employees under 401(k) plans.
The TSP is a defined contribution plan, meaning that the retirement income you receive from your TSP account will depend on how much you (and your agency, if you are eligible to receive agency contributions) put into your account during your working years and the earnings accumulated over that time.
Social Security Administration
Social Security offers an online retirement application that you can complete in as little as 15 minutes. It’s so easy. Better yet, you can apply from the comfort of your home or office at a time most convenient for you. There's no need to drive to a local Social Security office or wait for an appointment with a Social Security representative.
National Association of Retired Federal Employees
NARFE was founded in 1921 by 14 federal retirees who met in Washington, DC, to form a group dedicated to improving the status of retired federal employees. Since then, NARFE has worked tirelessly on behalf of federal workers, retirees, their spouses and survivors. An advocate for both active and retired federal employees before Congress and the White House, NARFE has emerged as a significant force on behalf of the entire federal family.
NARFE is the only association solely dedicated to preserving and improving the health care and retirement benefits of federal workers and retirees. Today, NARFE’s efforts are more important than ever as Congress and the administration consider unprecedented cuts in federal pay and benefits. Just as in the past, NARFE is leading the fight.
