What is the Office of Personnel Management retirement operations?

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is responsible for the retirement operations of the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS). FERS is a three-tiered retirement system that provides benefits from three sources: a Basic Benefit Plan, Social Security, and the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP).

The Basic Benefit Plan is a defined benefit plan that pays benefits based on length of service and salary. Social Security provides benefits based on the earnings history of the employee. The TSP is a defined contribution plan that allows employees to contribute a portion of their salary, before taxes, into a retirement account. The TSP is similar to a 401(k) plan offered by many private employers.

OPM's retirement operations are responsible for processing retirement applications, calculating benefits, and paying benefits to retirees. OPM also manages the annuity program for FERS retirees. The annuity program provides a guaranteed stream of income for life after retirement.
