TSP — GEBA offers a full range of investment strategies that allow you to supplement your TSP retirement savings as well as build wealth for specific goals like saving for college tuition.
FERS Retirement Disability — GEBA can offer coverage sooner than FERS after a disability, typically with less strict guidelines. Spouses can also apply for GEBA disability insurance.
FLTCIP – Long Term Care — GEBA offers a wide range of options and hybrid plans to fit each person’s unique situation. After recent price increases, most find GEBA’s rates to be very competitive.
