Missing Out on This FERS Benefit Could Cost You More Than You Think

Hi everyone, Mike Lanway here with All About FERS.

I’m reaching out to all FERS employees today because there’s a piece of your paycheck you might be missing — and it could be costing you more than you realize.

We’re hosting a free webinar on Thursday, July 24 at 12 PM Eastern, and in just 25 minutes, we’ll walk you through how to make the most of your federal benefits, no matter what happens with Congress.

The Part of Your Paycheck You Might Be Missing

Most federal employees don’t realize they’re earning something called additional compensation. This portion of your pay doesn’t show up in your take-home pay. Instead, it goes straight into financial instruments like your TSP, life insurance, and pension contributions.

Here’s why that matters:

• It’s tax-free to you
• It has the potential to grow faster than most investments
• And it adds up to a much larger benefit than many people recognize

Why This Matters If You’re Considering Leaving

If you don’t know what this additional compensation is worth, two things can happen:

1. You leave money on the table by exiting federal service without realizing what you’re giving up
2. You fail to negotiate for it with a new employer and end up in a worse financial position without knowing it

We don’t want that to happen to you.

Learn How to Use It or Leverage It

Whether you stay or go, you need to understand the full value of what you earn. That’s why this webinar is so important. We’ll show you:

• How to identify your full compensation package
• What that additional compensation is actually worth
• How to use it wisely while you’re still a FERS employee
