You may need these when you are no longer an employee

  • Write down your login information for employee express. You can't get this back after you leave GSA.
  • Switch your W2s to Hard Copy On (This means you will get mailed your W2)
  • Download all of your paystubs

Log into GSA HR Links

  • Make sure your address is up to date
  • Spend down your FSA if you can. That money is lost when you leave government.

Keeping your Health Insurance?

  • If you are planning to apply for the government version of COBRA, be sure to do the paperwork as early as possible.
  • If you have been in government for less than 5 years, and you are leaving government now, consider getting a FERS contribution refund. Since you are forced to pay 4.4% of your pay to FERS while you are a government employee, getting it back is worth your time.
  • Your refund will have two parts: contributions and interest
  • Interest can be rolled over into your (not ROTH) TSP account.
  • Contributions can be rolled over into a ROTH IRA, but not your ROTH TSP. You can also roll these over into a Traditional IRA, but I don't recommend it.
  • You'll have to fill out three forms. SF-3106 to withdraw your FERS contributions. TSP-60 to roll over the interest to the TSP. And whatever forms your ROTH IRA financial firm requires for rollovers.

Government records

  • Go through your Google Drive, computer harddrive, Slack files, and anywhere else you have documents.
  • Retain anything that is a government record in an appropriate way.
  • Consider deleting anything that doesn't need to be retained.
  • Note that your boss will inherit your Google Drive files into their Google Drive account when you leave GSA.
