Purpose: This is to provide agencies with the comprehensive handbook attached. This handbook shows all of the possible information retiring employees can expect to find in the personalized booklet entitled, Your Federal Retirement Benefits, which they will receive within 3-4 weeks after OPM completes processing their retirements.

The first retirees to receive Your Federal Retirement Benefits will be those placed on OPM's annuity roll on or after August 30, 1999. OPM currently has no mechanism for providing booklets to annuitants whose retirements are completed prior to that date.
