insights -- making it easier for them to navigate through the complex maze of
the FERS federal employee benefits package. The course includes both audio and
visual elements, much like Snow’s on-site seminars, in an easy-to-use online
format, giving convenient access to the information for nearly anyone with an
Internet connection.
The specific topics covered include: FERS
annuity/pension, survivor benefits,, Thrift Savings Plan (TSP), life insurance
(FEGLI), health insurance (FEHB), flexible spending accounts, health savings
accounts, Social Security benefits, and federal income tax issues.

online course is recommended for all federal and postal employees (FERS and FERS
Transferees), whether they are newly employed, in the middle of their career, or
are nearing retirement. Information for special provisions (law enforcement,
fire fighters, and air traffic controllers) is also included.
