John Grobe is President of Federal Career Experts, a firm that provides pre-retirement training and seminars to a wide variety of federal agencies. FCE’s instructors are all retired federal retirement specialists who educate class participants on the ins and outs of federal retirement and benefits; there is never an attempt to influence participants to invest a certain way, or to purchase any financial products. John and FCE specialize in retirement for special category employees, such as law enforcement officers.

Social Security and FERS Supplement

I will receive the FERS supplement until age 62. I plan to wait until my full retirement age of 66 years 2 months to consider filing for Social Security. Can I file a restricted application for my spouse’s Social Security benefit and delay filing for my own Social Security benefit until age 70, allowing my benefit to continue to grow?

Suspending and Restarting FEHB

I have been told that when you retire you can request to suspend your FEHB and at a later open season or qualifying life event restart it. I would like to know if this is true and how it can be accomplished.
