Big news for postal employees broke this morning.

The USPS announced it is suspending its employer contributions to FERS, roughly $400 million a month, citing a cash crisis that could see the agency run out of funds within 12 months without congressional intervention.

Here's the breakdown:

✅ Employee FERS contributions — continuing
✅ Employee TSP contributions — continuing
✅ USPS employer automatic and matching TSP contributions — continuing
❌ USPS employer share of FERS pension contributions — suspended

Whether you're a postal employee trying to understand what this means for your retirement, or a financial professional helping clients navigate it — this is exactly the kind of development that underscores why understanding your federal benefits inside and out matters.

Questions? That's what we're here for. ffeba.com/about
