Stop attending classes that are hard to understand!

Most Federal Employees can feel overwhelmed as they prepare for Retirement due to the complexity of the Federal Retirement Benefit System. GEBI has been providing seminars to Federal Employees for over a decade. Through listening to feedback from our attendees over the years, GEBI has created a program that provides attendees with critical information needed to retire from the Federal System in an easy to understand, practical format. 

This is not one of those ‘free’ seminars

No financial products or insurance will be sold.  This is 100% pure benefit training, focusing on practical application and real-world examples.  You will have the opportunity to meet privately with one of the instructors to ask questions – including the most important: “what does this all mean to me?”Federal Employees commonly tell us after our class that they have learned information they never knew prior to attending a GEBI training class.

The class includes (but not limited to):

  • Common Pre-Retirement Mistakes
  • Retirement Options & Eligibility (including creditable service and military buy-back)
  • Maximizing your leave (Annual Leave payouts, the proper way to calculate & use your converted Sick Leave)
  • Computing your High-3 and Retirement Annuity
  • Survivor Benefit Plan
  • COLA in Retirement
  • FERS Special Supplement
  • Getting the most from Social Security
  • TSP: from contributions, to allocations, to distribution strategies
  • FEGLI options in Retirement
  • FEHB in retirement and Medicare Part B Considerations

…and, time permitting, much more, including overall cash flow considerations, general planning, and suggestions for what to do if you come up short.  

The class agenda may be adjusted based on the composition of the class participants and available time. Questions may be asked during the class, however please keep the questions non-personal in nature. To ensure we make it through the class material, most questions will be addressed at the end of the seminar. While not required, it may be very helpful to bring recent copies of your pay stub, SF-50, TSP investment allocation, and/or Social Security statement.

CSRS, CSRS-Offset, FERS, Traditional & Special Provision employees may attend any session.

 

Enrollment for the class is open, however due to space limitations, all participants will be charged admittance.  Each class is a full-day session, running from 7:30am – 3:30pm

Included in the class tuition:

  • Optional follow-up meeting with one of instructors. A personalized Retirement Benefit Summary Report and cash flow projection is included with the cost of each ticket as a practical application of the material to be presented in the class. While this report is an important part of understanding how your benefits could look in retirement, redemption thereof is entirely optional. The report includes two post-seminar meetings with one of the instructors, the cost of which is included in the class registration fee.  This will also be your chance to ask more personal questions in a private setting.  Should you choose to not redeem your benefit summary report, You will NOT be contacted by the instructors after the sessions, nor will they ask for your personal/business contact information. 
  • Federal Retirement and Benefits Reference Guide. This tool, put together by GEBI (compiled from multiple sources), contains helpful for FERS and CSRS employees looking to retire from Federal Service
  • Parking. Please note that the maximum height in the guest parking area is 5’11”. Oversized vehicles will have to find alternate parking. The parking validation does not include in-and- out privileges.
