Dispatches

Federal retirement, weekly.

Analysis of the policy changes, IRS rulings, and OPM guidance that affect federal retirees. One briefing every week or two, when there is something worth your attention.

What Dispatches are

Dispatches are short editorial briefings on what's changing in federal retirement — policy shifts, new OPM guidance, IRS rulings that affect federal retirees, court decisions, and the periodic congressional fight that threatens your benefits. One every week or two, when there's something worth your attention.

Not news. Not commentary on whatever's trending. Analysis of the changes that affect your retirement plan, with the math on what to do about them.

What this pillar covers

OPM policy updates. IRS retirement-account rule changes. SSA announcement analysis. Federal pay raise impact on high-3 calculations. New TSP fund offerings or rule changes. Healthcare policy that affects FEHB, PSHB, and Medicare. State-level changes to pension taxation. Anything that requires a federal retiree to actually do something differently.
