I am a FERS transfer and will have 13 yr 7 mths as FERS transfer. Does OPM actually review the average salary for each year to calculate the 1/40 for the FERS supplement? Does anyone know about the FEDBENS.us website and how accurate this site is????
I have three different results for my FERS supplement:
the first estimation is from the HR person who did not have access to my personnel file and the figure was 50% less than my calculation. She would not tell me how she calculated this estimate and told me they arent even suppose to provide this and always give a low figure. The second estimation I divide my years under FERS by 40 and then multiply my social security annuity at age 62 minus the salary before government. The third estimation on FEDBEN.us where the calculation involves entering salary for each year under FERS is the highest? Again thanks for any input, our HR personnel are PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!! I dont know what I would do without this site, there is no support for a federal employee and you have to look out for yourself!
