[quote=Anonymous]I’m a fed with 15 years service. I’m in my mid 40s and not planning to retire soon so I haven’t attended retirement seminars or similar classes my agency offers. My DH and I are updating our wills. We also plan to meet with a financial advisor soon. It prompted me to read up on survivor benefits - or at least try. The OPM website and other sources I found mention monthly payments but also mention 50% of salary. I’m confused by this. I assume that the 50% is used for a calculation (maybe like the way the best three years is use), or is the payment itself 50% of salary? I was also confused how to figure out the lump sum vs other options. Hopefully this won’t be relevant any time soon, but can anyone recommend a straight-forward resource to learn more or explain it simply to me? Thanks![/quote]
