Mark Your Holiday Calendar Annually

Important Holiday-Season Reminders for Federal Employees

retirementBelow is a list of suggested items you should mark on your calendar annually whether you are near retirement or just beginning employment in the  Federal service:

  • Your annual physical check-up to include a Thyroid check especially for women
  • Your annual dental check-up
  • Your annual eye examination*
  • Annual mammograms (if suggested by age) for women and sometimes males
  • Annual PSA (Prostate Specific Antigens) if suggested by age for men
  • Annual check-up of your electronic Official Personnel Folder (eOPF)
  • Be sure to check that your beneficiary forms are up-to-date
  • Check your Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) not found in your eOPF, and make certain your TSP beneficiary forms are also up-to-date.
  • Check your leave record for both sick and annual leave.  Keep your end-of-the-year pay stub to check against W-2s for tax returns.  Most of this information is accurate from your payroll office but it can have errors.
  • Check your retirement estimates to see if you need to make changes to your financial profile in the coming year, such as increasing savings to close any potential income gaps you might have in retirement..
  • Make sure that exercise and sensible eating habits are a part of your annual check-up to living and retiring well.

*This examination is very important even if you think your prescription has not changed for glasses or contact lenses.  There are no real symptoms for many eye diseases even those leading to blindness, so make sure to take care of your eyes so you can continue to have a good view of the world.

P. S.  Always Remember to Share What You Know.
