Are there FERS retirement workshops for Tampa federal employees?
Yes. PlanWell offers free 3-hour virtual FERS retirement workshops that CENTCOM, SOCOM, MacDill AFB, and VA Bay Pines employees can attend from anywhere in the Tampa Bay area. Sessions cover your FERS pension, TSP, FEHB, and survivor benefits.
Do you work with CENTCOM and SOCOM civilian employees?
Absolutely. Our Certified Financial Planners hold the ChFEBC designation and have extensive experience with DoD civilian employees at MacDill AFB, including those supporting CENTCOM and SOCOM missions. We understand the unique benefits and retirement provisions for defense civilians.
