With pension, SSA & FERS (with consistent contributions), you will probably will be making more than you do now if you keep working to 70+wingchaser wrote: ↑Fri Dec 12, 2025 1:55 pm Just passed 65.5 & ran into the Medicare "Mandate" (if you will)...
Question that got answered for me (by Social Security Administration) is what happens if, come 70.5, I'm "forced" to take Social Security, yet I still want to continue to serve the Warfighter.
The answer was that my Social Security Check (140% @ 70.5) gets recalculated every year I continue to work. So if I roll to into my late 70's, the puppy goes from $4,950 up to into "6's" (monthly)...
Couple that with FERS & TSP and we're talkin' Fat & Happy!!! My goal (always) was to make more in Retirement that I did when I was workin'...
So what are you planning to do when you finally do retire?
