VERA/VSIP Early Retirement

Evaluate an early-out offer — whether the numbers actually work for your retirement.

Overview

A VERA (Voluntary Early Retirement Authority) or VSIP (Voluntary Separation Incentive Payment) offer can be a great opportunity or a costly mistake — depending on your numbers. We help you run the math before you decide, factoring in the FERS annuity, supplement, and your full plan.
