I called Melinda at the urgency of my co-worker who works with her.

She reviewed my new hire packet, explained all the working benefits I have. We talked about my future plans for retirement. She was easy to understand and talk with, no matter how many questions I asked. She ensured I understood how my benefits work, now and when I reach retirement age.

I had very little time to complete my retirement paperwork due to a medical condition that forced me to retire after 23 years. Melinda completed the retirement paperwork correctly and quickly which allowed me to retire ASAP.

She also discovered Thousands in TSP contributions unknown to me. I never contributed and did not know there were contributions on my behalf. That was a huge blessing and relief heading into retirement at 57 and not qualifying for the FERS Supplement.

Melinda helped me understand the pension formula to determine, if taking a position, would be worth it. The opportunity required a move to Texas but offered $15k more a year in salary. Without her help, I might have missed a $600 per month difference in future pension amounts!

THANK YOU!! At first I was upset with the material that was presented to me, but you prevented me from making a HUGE financial mistake by retiring too early on an income that would not have been enough for my lifestyle needs.

It was a pleasure having The Benefit Coordinators give a presentation to our Union Members at one of our union meetings. They went over FEGLI, CSRS, FERS, and TSP and TSP and answered questions we had. They were also able to sit down with us individually and go over our individual situations. It is a good feeling to have a benefits trainer that we can contact for questions throughout our career and into retirement.

On behalf of the NASS Georgia Field Office, I wanted to say thank you for the training on Federal Benefits. Having a relatively new federal staff, the information concerning what exact benefits are available to federal employees as well as those with more years in the years.

Offering the one-on-one personal consultation provided employees with an opportunity to pursue questions about their personal situation. It also provided an opportunity to discover how to coordinate and maximize their federal benefits, as well as identifying things that may be overlooked.
