How can you access retirement services online?

To access retirement services online, a retiree can visit the website for the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. This website offers online services, a benefits estimator and a summary of retirement service budgets.

Some of the common sections on the U.S. Office of Personnel website address annuities and benefits, calculators, publications and forms, and frequently asked questions. Some of these tools assist in determining how much a retiree must budget to fund a comfortable retirement, notes OPM. Certain budgetary limitations impact the business operations of retirement services.

The Services Online section of the Office of Personnel Management website contains services related to taxes, mailing addresses and allotments. Users cannot utilize this website to make changes to any current insurance plans. Additional services relate to direct deposit setup for payments, printing tax forms and viewing a summary of year-to-date payments. Users can also stay current with information by updating the relevant email address to receive all information electronically, explains OPM. Finally, the website offers the capability to report a missing payment, an annuitant's death or an employer's death.

Visitors can leave feedback through the Rate Us feature, states OPM. Visitors seeking further information can contact Services online by writing a letter, sending an email or calling during hours of operation.
