Why Hosting a Retirement Webinar for Your Team Is One of the Smartest Moves You Can Make

Online Retirment Application (ORA)

When it comes to federal benefits, there’s one thing nearly every employee has in common: confusion.

Ask around your agency, office, or local union chapter, and you’ll probably hear the same questions over and over:

How does my pension work? What happens to my TSP? Should I keep my FEGLI after I retire? When should I take Social Security?

These are critical questions. And yet, most employees are left to figure it out alone—reading through outdated PDFs or searching for answers online with no clear direction.

That’s why more and more groups are choosing to host retirement education webinars for their teams.

It’s simple. It’s valuable. And it can make a real difference in the lives of your people.

What Is a Retirement Webinar?

A retirement webinar is a 30–40 minute educational session (held virtually) where federal employees can learn the basics of retirement planning and benefits:

  • Understanding your FERS pension and survivor options
  • How to make the most of your TSP
  • What to do with FEGLI life insurance
  • When and how to file for Social Security
  • Common deadlines and decision points

After the presentation, employees can also opt to schedule private, one-on-one sessions to go deeper on their specific situation.

At Independence Benefits, we provide these webinars as a complimentary service to federal teams across the country. There’s no cost, no pressure—just clear information your people need.
