Plan Your Federal Retirement Podcast

Thank you for your wonderful and helpful videos on postponed retirement. The one question I have remaining is - I understand that if I retire at MRA and 10 that I cannot take my annuity without penalty until I am 62. Is there an option to continue with health benefits at time of resignation and not collect annuity until age 62 or do you have to start both at the same time? - Nancy  https://zurl.co/yidsG

First, I have listened to your podcast for year,s and it has been a wealth of information. Thank you. Now for my question...I am a 54 year old federal law enforcement officer. I plan to retire in June after 33 years of service. My plan was always to transfer my TSP to an IRA so I had more control. I plan to take withdrawals from the TSP/IRA immediately upon retirement. However, I recently read that if I do the transfer, the IRA rules would then apply, and I could not withdraw until age 59 1/2. Is that true? - Sam   https://zurl.co/DCfuA

I'm 65 now,  still working usps, when I retire in 1 to 2 years, I'm interested in keeping monthly health insurance down.  Is it more cost effective to keep fehb only, or get Medicare part b. I know best would be both, but I want to keep monthly cost low - Damian    https://zurl.co/veOww
