How Military and Federal Retirement Benefits Work Together
From MILMO Show · 40:36
Show by Lacey Langford
If you've served in the military and now work for the federal government, or you're considering a federal job after your military career, you'll have important retirement decisions to make. From buying back military service time to managing two TSP accounts, there are benefits and trade-offs you might not realize you need to consider. In this episode, I'm talking with Amy King about how military and federal retirement benefits work together and some of the financial decisions that can have a lasting impact on your retirement. We get into when buying back military time might make sense, coordinating healthcare and survivor benefits, and why having two pensions could mean paying more in taxes during retirement. Amy is an Army veteran who served more than 22 years and is now a financial planner specializing in military and federal civilian families. She also has personal experience navigating both systems, which brings another perspective to the conversation.
