options and the ramifications of each?

Benefits
Dollars are paid into FERS, Thrift
Savings Plan (TSP), health/life
insurance, Medicare, etc. What occurs
at the time an employee retires in each
of these areas? Are there any actions
that an employee should be taking
throughout their career, outside of
contributing to these accounts, which
would be beneficial at retirement?
