Important Federal Agency Resources
Office of Personnel Management (OPM)
During their retirement, all federal annuitants, regardless of the federal agency they worked for, are subject to the oversight of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM).
Here’s an example of how to collect information using the OPM search box. For example, entering “death” into the OPM’s search box yields 49 results. Each outcome provides a two or three-sentence summary of the associated material, for instance, FAQs on the death of a government employee or annuitant. All the links provide paperwork, extensive descriptions of a procedure, or other relevant information.
Thrift Savings Plan (TSP)
Almost everything a spouse, partner, and children need to know about the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) may be found in a special section for beneficiaries on their website. The site includes a PDF document entitled “Your TSP Account: A Guide for Beneficiary Participants,” which may be accessed via the website.
Social Security Administration (SSA)
Social Security offers various resources that others close to you may find valuable. The first is about people helping others and how Social Security can help you when a family member dies.
Medicare provides information on important Medicare-related matters such as where to sign up for Medicare, how to change plans, the advantages of Medicare drug coverage, and where to get Medicare paperwork for claims and appeals. It offers a searchable database of Medicare-accepting medical providers.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
The CDC provides an overview of Alzheimer’s disease and offers a wide range of information on the subject and the option to get email updates.
National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled (NLS)
The NLS provides a plethora of resources for senior citizens and their families. At least once a year, various organizations, online tools, and publications from government, academic, and nonprofit sources are updated. Connections for caregivers, legal, eyesight, physical health, and psychological health services are a few of the topics covered.
