Book Description
In response to a congressional request, GAO prepared information on retirement programs in the nonfederal sector by estimating the levels of benefits at retirement that selected nonfederal programs provide to employees by age, years of service, and salary levels. GAO found that benefit formulas for nonfederal pension plans vary considerably; therefore, it calculated the benefit amounts produced by the formulas as a percentage of final salary. GAO found little difference in the average pension plan benefits available to retirees at age 65 and age 62 when years of service and salary levels were equal. Pension plan benefits for employees retiring at age 55 with 30 years of service ranged from 72 to 84 percent of the benefits they would have received if they had retired at age 62 with the same years of service and salary levels. In state government pension plans, age 55 benefits were about 85 percent of the benefit amounts at age 62 with the same years of service and salary levels. In addition, GAO found that state government pension plans provided higher average benefits than private sector pension plans. Finally, GAO found that the capital accumulation plan component of a typical private sector retirement program can add substantial retirement benefits to participating employees. A 30-year career employee who contributes to the plan can supplement his pension and social security benefits by 16 percent or more of his final annual salary. Since states generally do not match employee contributions in their plans, GAO did not calculate any thrift plans for them. Therefore, the combined benefits for state employees were less than those received by private sector employees who participate in thrift plans.

Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 A 401(k) is not a retirement plan. It is a defined contribution plan that allows you to invest a portion of your salary using pre-tax money. The amount you can contribute is determined by the IRS each year. If you contribute consistently and the stock market performs well, your account balance can grow into the seven-figure range. But if you don't, your account balance will be considerably less than seven figures. #2 A defined benefit program is a true retirement benefit. It is designed to pay you an amount based on a set formula that includes your age at retirement, your total years of service and your final average salary. It is a lifetime benefit. #3 My grandparents, despite being slightly better off, still struggled to make ends meet because they had no pensions and invested all their money in materialistic things for their wives. #4 My mother, who was raised by a single mother, was able to retire at age 55 after working for 30 years, thanks to the lessons she learned from her grandmother. She invested her money in blue chip companies and bought precious metals.

Book Description
Under the civil service retirement system, employees with 30 years' service can elect to retire at age 55. In certain circumstances, they can voluntarily retire earlier. Early retirements were meant to open up jobs for younger employees who would otherwise be dismissed during agency reductions or reorganizations. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is permitting too many employees to retire earlier than they normally could. Such retirements may be appropriate if they prevent younger employees from being laid off, but usually this is not the case. GAO found that: (1) agencies are not considering and exhausting other management techniques for solving staffing problems before turning to the early retirement program; (2) early retirements are not restrictive enough to insure a high probability of job savings; and (3) under the current program employees can retire early even though none of an agency's employees are facing involuntary separation. In some cases, agencies' estimates of the impact of reductions were poorly documented and proved to far exceed the eventual outcome. Early retirements in these agencies resulted primarily in new hiring, not job savings. GAO found a tendency for agencies to overstate the benefits derived from early retirement authorizations. GAO estimates that early retirements cost at least $109 million in fiscal year 1980. OPM has begun to examine more closely agency requests for early retirement authorizations. However, its basic criteria for approval remain unchanged.
