Online Chat: Phased Retirement

Federal News Radio experts answer your questions on phased retirement.

Federal News Radio experts answered your questions about the new final rule on phased retirement during an online chat today. Phased retirement is a new option which allows eligible employees to work part-time while drawing on part of their earned retirement benefits. Phased retirees must also spend at least 20 percent of their time mentoring other employees.
