Good News--For Now

This little bird was just outside our house last week looking for something to eat. Hope to see the end of winter soon!

Here is a note from NARFE about whether the Sequester of funds will affect retirement annuities.

Since President Obama issued the sequester order on March 1, many NARFE members have contacted Headquarters about the impact this will have on their retirement payments. NARFE President Joseph A. Beaudoin has stated: “To the best of my knowledge, there will be no impact on the issuance of annuity payments. According to the Office of Personnel Management, ‘Sequestration will not stop delivery of FERS and CSRS annuity checks. These monthly retirement benefits checks will continue to be issued.’” The NARFE “SequestrationFAQs,” available on the NARFE website, will be updated with information as it becomes available to us.
