Navigating DOGE

The recent creation of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has raised the possibility that 10s of thousands to perhaps 100s of thousands of Federal employees may lose their jobs. If this does occur there will be a tremendous need for financial advisors to be available to assist these displaced Federal employees with making decisions about how to address their futures.

Federal Employee Benefits Advocates (FEBA) can provide financial advisors with the Knowledge, Tools and Support they need to assist the Federal employees with our FedEd Academy program™ .

The FedEd Academy™ teaches advisors to understand Federal workforce employee benefit programs (FERS, CSRS, TSP, FEGLI, FEHB and more) so they will be better equipped to counsel Federal employees with their retirement, investment and risk protection needs.
