Types of Government Retirement Group Investments
FERS – Federal Employees Retirement System:
Retirement savings fund for those enrolled after January 1, 1987.
FERS provides pension benefits from multiple sources that include federal Benefit Plan, Social Security and Thrift Savings Plan.
If your career takes you to the private sector, your TSP and Social Security benefits will follow you. Once you retire, you may begin drawing on the annuity payments provided by the Basic Benefit Plan.
SERS – State Employees Retirement System:
Retirement savings fund for those enrolled prior to January 1, 1987. SERS will match the annuity contributions of its member up to 10% of basic pay.
Also, members are able to utilize the Thrift Savings Plan. Furthermore, another bonus is that members do not owe social security tax, disability, or survivor tax. Note: SERS requires it members to pay Medicare tax.
Recent Cybersecurity Issues at Retire OPM.gov
The Cyber Security Office at discovered two major data breaches at the government website. In 2015, Office of Personnel Management applicant background check information was stolen.
This included Social Security numbers for nearly 20 million retirement benefit applicants. Lost laptops were to blame for the RetireOnline hack, not a data breach of the servers.
As a result, proactive measures are taken to insure identity management remains secure and users have full identity theft protection.

Does dropping my Federal Dental Insurance affect my Health Insurance status?
I currently have BCBS health insurance. Next year, I will be 65, what happens then?
Does my Medicare come from you guys, or do I apply for it? Also what about a supplement insurance plan? Does my BCBS just stop?
As you can see, I don’t know which way to turn.
keep bcbs until you know exactly what to do. Medicare is not very good coverage. also depends on your health situation. if you start buying supplement insurances to medicare you end up paying out money for less coverage. Once you give up BCBS you can’t get it back. You have to sign up for basic Medicare at 65, its free. Then do your research. Go to your local community senior resource group if one is available.
I called BCBS to apply for Medicare thru Social Security. You will show Medicare as your 1st Insurance and BCBS as the second ins. BAbe will take care of copays. The only thing I have paid for out of pocket is RX copays.
