Planning Your Retirement Date

Retiring from your career as a Federal civilian employee is a major life event and deciding on a date to retire can be confusing. Benefits Bulletin 2009-5, Planning Your Retirement Date briefly discusses some of the things you should consider when making your decision.

After reading the Bulletin if you have questions you should discuss them with your Civilian Benefits Center Retirement Specialist. You can contact your Retirement Specialist by calling The Benefits Line at 1 888 320 2917 and selecting menu option #4 to talk to a Customer Service Representative (CSR). CSRs are available Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Eastern Time, except on federal holidays. The TTY number for the deaf and hard of hearing is 1 866 328-9889.

By applying early you allow the CBC sufficient time to resolve any issues which may affect your annuity and ensure timely processing of your application.
