A few things you need to consider:
- How long will your Federal benefits sustain you?
- Will gaps in your employment affect your calculation?
- Should you and your spouse file at the same time or separately?
- Does your CSRS or FERS status impact your retirement date?
Whether you’re in the accumulation or preservation phase of saving assets for retirement, your Social Security is a vital component. Why not have a road map to help you plan on using these funds?
