Retirement can be a tricky affair these days for many. It may be even trickier for Federal and Postal employees. According to Elizabeth Inman, ChFEBC, a nationally recognized Federal Benefits Educator, Author, Speaker, and Federal Retirement Specialist, who retired from the USPS with over 23 years of Federal service, "Without a proper understanding of the options and the landmines, it’s easy to make some well-meaning yet costly mistakes when you retire as a Federal or Postal employee. These common, yet often avoidable mistakes may mean that Federal retirees will lose out on benefits and options for their entire life. After a career of devoted service, I believe that they deserve to take full advantage of every benefit available.”
