Important disclosures about FedEd Academy™, the RFBS℠ designation, continuing education credit, and the limits of what this site provides.
Last updated: October 1, 2026
Not affiliated with or endorsed by the U.S. government
FedEd Academy™ and Federal Employee Benefits Advocates, LLC (FEBA) are independent private organizations. We are not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the U.S. government, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the Thrift Savings Plan or the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board, or any other federal agency. The Federal Government does not favor, endorse, or recommend any individual, company, product, or view associated with FedEd Academy™ or FEBA. References to federal programs such as FERS, CSRS, TSP, FEGLI, and FEHB are descriptive only.
Educational use only
FedEd Academy™ is an educational program for financial professionals. The content on this site and in our programs is general in nature and is not investment, tax, legal, accounting, or insurance advice, and it is not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security or insurance product. It does not account for any individual's circumstances. Consult a qualified professional about your own situation, and consult official sources (such as OPM, the TSP, and the Social Security Administration) for current rules and your own benefits.
Federal benefits law, regulations, and plan features change. Although we work to keep information current, we do not guarantee that content is complete, accurate, or up to date. Figures, examples, and statistics are illustrative.
No guarantee of results
Participation in our programs does not guarantee any particular business outcome, client acquisition, income, or compliance result. Advisors are solely responsible for complying with the laws, regulations, and firm policies that apply to them.
The RFBS℠ designation
The Registered Federal Benefits Specialist℠ (RFBS℠) is a post-nominal designation for financial professionals who serve federal employees. The designation is awarded by the Registered Federal Benefits Specialist organization and is separate from FedEd Academy™. FedEd Academy™ is the educational pathway to the designation. Completing a FedEd Academy™ program does not itself confer the designation; the designation requirements, examination, fees, and ongoing conditions are set by the awarding organization and may change. The RFBS℠ designation is not a government credential, is not a license, and does not authorize anyone to provide any regulated service. Learn more at registeredfederalbenefitsspecialist.com.
Continuing education (CE) credit
Where we describe CFP® continuing education credit, the number of hours refers to the credit offered for the program as described at the time of enrollment. Credit is subject to the requirements of the approving body, to your attendance and completion of the program, and to your own reporting. We do not guarantee that any particular program, session, or format will qualify for credit with any regulator, certifying body, or employer, or that credit will satisfy your individual requirements. Credit availability may differ by format and by session (for example, a private firm engagement may be different from a public class), and state insurance CE is governed by each state's department of insurance. Please confirm current credit details with us and with your certifying body or state regulator before you rely on them.
CFP® is a certification mark owned by Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. FedEd Academy™ and FEBA are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by CFP Board.
