Employee benefits

We provide a comprehensive retirement benefits plan, called the Federal Employees Retirement System. FERS has 3 components:

1. Basic retirement benefit (annuity)
2. Thrift Savings Plan, which offers the same type of savings and tax benefits as traditional 401(k) plans. GSA will automatically contribute 1% of your salary, and will match your TSP contributions, up to a total of five percent of your salary.
3. Social Security

Former federal employees covered under the Civil Service Retirement System, please check the CSRS information on OPM.gov.
