The Retirement Process
Tuesday, July 14, 2026, 2:00 p.m. ET

Retiring from federal service requires several key steps, primarily overseen by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). NARFE benefits specialist Tony Opat offers another in-depth overview of the process, which typically takes 3 to 5 months. OPM advises submitting your retirement application to your agency at least 60 days before your planned retirement date. During processing, most retirees receive interim payments equal to 60-80% of their full benefit. Tony will explain each stage of the process.
