Frequently Asked Questions
Are there FERS retirement workshops for San Diego federal employees?
Yes. PlanWell offers free 3-hour virtual FERS retirement workshops that Naval Base San Diego, Camp Pendleton, NAVWAR, and VA San Diego employees can attend from anywhere in San Diego County. Sessions cover your FERS pension, TSP, FEHB, and survivor benefits.

Absolutely. Our Certified Financial Planners hold the ChFEBC designation and have extensive experience with Navy and USMC civilian employees at Naval Base San Diego, Camp Pendleton, NAVWAR, and the Naval Medical Center. We understand the unique benefits for DoD civilians.
How is PlanWell different from San Diego financial advisors?
