Can you retire under FERS right now… or is waiting a little longer the smarter move? In this episode of Confident Federal Retirement, we walk through what an "immediate retirement" under FERS actually means, the four main paths to qualify, and why one of those paths (MRA+10) can quietly lock in a smaller pension for the rest of your life. You'll hear how immediate retirement affects your pension, FEHB, FEGLI, the FERS supplement, and how much pressure ends up on your TSP later.

We'll also talk about the tradeoff between short‑term relief and long‑term consequences. I'll show you when immediate retirement usually makes sense, when I'd slow someone down before they file the paperwork, and the five questions I'd want you to answer before you decide. So you can see exactly whether retiring now strengthens your plan or weakens it.
