Just How Long Have You Been In Civil Service?
Recently we talked a bit about the practicalities and legalities of what a federal employee’s actual “basic pay” really is. Basic Pay is of course very important if for no other reason than it becomes one of the single biggest factors that determines how large an employee’s annuity (retirement check) will be. If your “high [...]

Credit Where Credit Is Due

Well I’m not totally an pessimist and as a government annuitant I certainly am grateful for the benefits I do receive. So [...]
Making Sure Benefits Are Known
… The ad by Government Benefits Analysts Inc. headlined with a large attention banner, explains that many veterans or widows of veterans are eligible for benefits of “up to $20,924 a year tax-free!†The ad then asks veterans to call a local phone number, where a recording asks the caller to leave a message.
The ad [...]
Catch 62 and Valuation and Division of Assets
I’ve written about “Catch 62″ several time here already, but judging by the search engine traffic it seems to still be a very popular subject. (See here and here for some previous information)
Based on some recent conversations with military/civil service retirees the subject still seems to be widely misunderstood, so perhaps it’s time for a [...]

TRICARE Flavors and How To Taste Them
Several days ago I wrote about the possibility of military retirees using the DoD TRICARE program to take care of their own medical insurance needs as well as the coverage they might be required to provide ex-spouses. We should look at this idea in a little more detail since it won’t be the best for everyone and [...]
Medical Care Options For Divorced Military Retirees
I’ve been meaning to get around to this post for some time now. At first glance one might winder why I am delving down into the ‘weeds’ of general entitlements when I originally intended to stick with the finer points of valuation, net present values, divorce and dissolution. Well the truth is, judging by real-world [...]
