Your CSA Number is Everything: Navigating OPM in Retirement

From accessing your annuity statements and tax documents to updating your banking information and verifying life insurance coverage, Rayna explains how to navigate the system with confidence—even if you’re not tech-savvy. She also highlights the importance of your CSA number (hint: don’t lose it!) and shares real-life client stories that show how easy it can be to manage your benefits online. Plus, learn when it might make sense to suspend your federal health coverage—and why you should always talk to an expert before making changes.
