About Us

Do you have everything you need to submit a healthy retirement application to OPM?

We've been through it!

While doing the research to submit our own retirement packages, we discovered a complex process that was overwhelming at times.  We found it frustrating that there wasn’t one place to get answers to our questions.

Our experience as Human Resources, Benefits, and Retirement professionals and federal annuitants gives us a unique perspective on identifying your needs. We formed Federal TransFERS to assist you to navigate the process.

We ensure that your forms are accurate and complete to help avoid unnecessary delays in processing your retirement application package.

You’ve worked hard towards your retirement - one of life’s most rewarding events - let us help you begin the Federal Retirement process with less stress and processing delay!
