Get in touch with Warrior Retirement.

The form below routes directly to Warrior Retirement. Nothing entered here is shared with third parties, used for marketing, or stored beyond what’s needed to read and respond to your message.

Please don’t include account numbers, Social Security numbers, or personal benefit documents in your message — see section 03 for why, and where those belong instead.

Every message routes to Warrior Retirement directly — there’s no call center or ticketing system in between, just a real person reading what you wrote. Messages are reviewed in batches through the week, and we genuinely try to respond — especially to questions about your federal retirement and benefits, questions about something we’ve published, corrections, and press inquiries.

A couple of honest notes so the expectation is fair: this is a small operation, so replies aren’t instant, and during busy stretches a broad, general question may end up answered by a future article rather than a one-to-one email. Picking the closest option in the “What can we help with?” menu helps your message reach the right place faster, and corrections and time-sensitive issues are moved to the front of the line.

Warrior Retirement is here to help you understand how the federal retirement systems work, and questions about any of it are welcome. But some things touch your actual account, application, or personal records — and for those, the agency that holds your records can act on them directly, and far faster than a message to us. When your question is account-specific, going straight to the source is the quickest path:

• Filing or checking your federal retirement application. Submit your retirement package (SF 3107 for FERS) through your agency’s HR/benefits office, which forwards it to OPM. For a case already in progress, contact OPM’s Retirement Information Office at 1-888-767-6738 or opm.gov/retirement-center.
• TSP withdrawals, loans, or account questions. Anything that touches your actual TSP account is handled fastest by the Thrift Savings Plan directly at tsp.gov or the ThriftLine at 1-877-968-3778.
• Claiming or changing Social Security. Apply for and manage benefits directly with the SSA at ssa.gov or 1-800-772-1213.
• FEHB or Medicare enrollment and changes. FEHB questions go through OPM and your plan; Medicare enrollment and coverage questions go to medicare.gov or 1-800-633-4227.
• A recommendation tailored to your exact numbers. Which withdrawal strategy, when to claim, whether to convert to Roth — a fiduciary financial advisor and a CPA who handles federal returns can model your specific situation in a way a public site responsibly shouldn’t. We can explain how the rules work; they can tell you what to do with your money.
• Anything involving your private documents. For your own protection, please don’t send account numbers, statements, or personal benefit documents through the form — it’s a privacy risk, and those belong with a professional under proper confidentiality. Describe the situation in general terms and we can still point you in the right direction.

None of this is a brush-off — understanding how all of this fits together is exactly what Warrior Retirement is for, and general questions are always welcome. Use the resources above when you need to act on your own account; reach out here any time you want to understand the rules behind it.

Journalists working on federal-retirement, benefits, or related policy stories are welcome to use the form to request comment, background, or source verification on anything published here. Note “press” in the subject line and include a deadline if you’re working under one — Warrior Retirement will prioritize media inquiries with reasonable timelines.

Researchers, graduate students, and policy analysts working on related topics are also welcome to reach out. Warrior Retirement is happy to discuss the data and citations behind any specific piece, and is open to collaborations where there are shared content standards. Outreach from financial-product sellers, annuity or insurance marketers, lead-generation businesses, or organizations seeking sponsored-content arrangements will not receive a response.
