In this episode, Rayna Reyes breaks down the critical differences between CSRS (Civil Service Retirement System) and FERS (Federal Employees Retirement System)—and why understanding your retirement system is essential for maximizing your federal benefits. Rayna uses real examples, clear explanations, and her signature humor to help you make sense of pensions, Social Security, TSP contributions, matches, and what the “three-legged stool” really means for your retirement.
Whether you're CSRS, FERS, or offset, this episode gives you the clarity you need to retire confidently.
