Welcome, October 2026!
October is here, bringing cooler days, changing leaves, and a great opportunity to take a fresh look at the goals you have set for the rest of the year.
At FedPlanWerks, we believe retirement planning is not something you should put off until your final year of federal service. Whether you are just beginning your federal career, preparing for retirement, or already enjoying retirement, taking time to review your financial picture can help you stay focused on your long-term goals.
For Federal Employees, retirement planning can involve many moving pieces, including FERS, CSRS, TSP, FEHB, Social Security, life insurance, and other retirement income considerations. FedPlanWerks provides information and retirement strategies designed around your individual circumstances and goals.
October Is a Great Month to Review Your Retirement Goals
As the final months of 2026 approach, consider taking some time to ask yourself:
- Are you still on track for your desired retirement date?
- Have your financial goals changed?
- Do you understand the retirement benefits available to you?
- Have you reviewed your TSP and other retirement accounts?
- Do you know how your retirement income sources may work together?
- Is there an income gap you need to address before or during retirement?
FedPlanWerks works with Federal Employees and individuals to evaluate their current financial picture and develop customized retirement strategies. The firm also provides services involving TSP rollovers, income gap analysis, IRAs, 401(k) rollovers, insurance, and other retirement planning needs.

Looking Ahead to the Rest of 2026
October is also a good reminder that retirement planning is an ongoing process. Circumstances change, financial goals change, and your retirement strategy may need to change with them.
At FedPlanWerks, our goal is to help individuals, families, and Federal Employees develop retirement strategies designed around their unique needs and objectives. If you have questions about your retirement, FERS, CSRS, TSP, or other retirement planning considerations, a conversation with a retirement professional can help you better understand your options.
