Ready to Retire? Now What?

New retirement counseling videos for Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) and Federal Employee Retirement System (FERS) employees now are available at LiteBlue.

The videos are for the benefit of employees who have started the retirement process and have already received their paperwork. They also will be useful for employees within five years of retirement who want to learn more about benefits and the paperwork involved.

The counseling videos include the same information retirement specialists at the Human Resources Shared Services Center would give employees over the phone. But unlike a telephone conversation, each 20-minute session can be viewed as many times as employees need. And they can pause to finish paperwork or rewind to review information.

 The new counseling videos at LiteBlue are in addition to a set of more general retirement videos which include information for new or younger employees, as well as those preparing to retire. The general retirement videos are not available on ACE computers.
