How we can help
Tell us who you are.
FEBA serves three audiences. Each has its own path through the federal benefits landscape — and we have a program for each.
For HR + leadership
Federal Agencies

For the workforce
Federal Employees
Most federal employees were never given a clear explanation of how their benefits actually work. We’re here to fix that — through our briefings, our resources, and our directory of credentialed specialists.
- Understanding your federal benefits
- Retirement planning resources
- Find a credentialed RFBS℠ specialist
- Federal benefits update newsletter
For financial professionals
Financial Advisors
The federal workforce is the largest, most stable client base in America — and almost no advisors are trained to serve them. Through FedEd Academy™ and the RFBS℠ designation, we change that.
