For federal agencies
Briefings built for your workforce.
Half-day or full-day sessions on FERS, TSP, FEHB, FEGLI, Social Security, and disability — delivered on-site or virtually. Customizable announcements, branded workbooks, and instructors with decades of experience. Independent and non-commercial — not a government agency.
Why FEBA
Federal agencies are required to provide this education. We help you do it well.
OPM’s Benefits Administration Letter 11-104 (March 25, 2011) charges federal agencies with providing retirement financial education to their employees — early-, mid-, and late-career. The strategy must “educate Federal employees on the need for retirement savings and investment,” teach them how to plan, and show them how to calculate the savings they’ll need.
Agencies that want help satisfying that responsibility can rely on FEBA. We’ve trained over 38,000 federal employees through 15 years of briefings, on every retirement system and every benefit program the federal workforce touches.
Topics we cover
Six core areas. One mission.
Every FEBA briefing covers the same six areas the federal benefits system revolves around. We cover them in depth, in plain English, and in a format your workforce will actually remember.
Pension
CSRS, FERS, and the offset rules that catch most employees off guard — including how military service, deposits, and redeposits affect the final annuity.
Savings
Thrift Savings Plan allocation, Roth vs. traditional, the lifecycle funds, and the C, S, I, and G funds explained in plain English.
Health Benefits
FEHB plan comparison, the FEHB–Medicare coordination, and how FEDVIP (dental and vision) fits alongside it.
Life Insurance
FEGLI basics, the Open Season decisions that matter, and the living benefit riders most federal employees never hear about until it’s too late.
Disability
FECA, CSRS and FERS disability retirement, and Social Security disability — when each applies and how they coordinate.
Social Security
How CSRS and FERS coordinate with Social Security, and the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO) rules.
We also cover FEGLI, FEHB, FEDVIP, FECA, FERS Disability, and CSRS Offset on request. Custom agendas are welcome.
Formats & logistics
On-site or virtual. Half-day or full-day.
Our briefings can be delivered to CSRS and FERS employees in full- or half-day sessions. The format is yours: we’ll work with your HR or training office to design a session that fits your workforce, and we bring the workbooks, worksheets, and an instructor with decades of public-speaking experience.

For attendees
Agency Workbook
A high-quality printed workbook for every participant.
Employees who attend a briefing receive a branded workbook with all of the information presented during the session. The workbook includes the FEBA Seminars Benefits Worksheet, which consolidates an employee's benefits information into one convenient location — a tremendous value to employees who often have that information scattered across several formats.

Sample Briefing Announcement
Customizable announcement collateral for your program.
HR professionals appreciate our briefing announcements, which can be customized with your dates, times, location, and point of contact. The announcement can be forwarded directly to employees — answering their questions about the content and why they should attend, and reducing the burden on the sponsor.
