Show Notes

Retirement isn't a single event—it's a series of milestones that continue long after your last day on the job.

In this episode, Rayna Reyes walks through the major checkpoints every federal employee can expect during retirement planning. From preparing your retirement application and choosing survivor benefits to navigating TSP decisions, interim pension payments, Social Security, Medicare, and Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), she explains how each stage fits into your long-term retirement strategy.

Most importantly, Rayna shares why having a trusted retirement team beside you throughout the entire journey can make the process far less stressful and much more successful.
