The FERSGUIDE

UPDATED for 2024!

Includes updates for all inflation and law changes for 2024.

This is the correct version if you are a Regular FERS employee or annuitant.

If you are a Law Enforcement Officer, Firefighter, Air Traffic Controller or other Special Category Employee covered by the special provisions of FERS, then you should be purchasing the FERSGUIDE for Special Category Employees (blue cover).

Consider purchasing the Kindle version instead of the paperback, as there are 157 hyperlinks to additional content and it’s less expensive and delivered immediately.

This book is designed for both employees and annuitants, with 40 pages dedicated just to Social Security and Medicare. Those 40 pages alone are one of the best Social Security and Medicare guides out there.

Be sure to check the Book Errata page at www.fersguide.com for free updates to the book after your purchase.

This is a 202-page book printed on 8.5” x 11” paper, not a smaller 7” x 9”-sized book.
