Federal employees are facing one of the most disruptive years in modern history.

Over 275,000 positions have been impacted through layoffs, buyouts, and reclassifications — and many workers are left wondering: What now?

To help us make sense of it all, I welcomed back Brian Kuhn, a seasoned financial advisor and federal benefits expert who first appeared on Money Matters in 2014.

We discuss:
✅ What the current administration’s restructuring means for public sector workers
✅ How to evaluate early retirement or exit offers
✅ What steps to take before you make a decision
✅ How to protect your pension, healthcare, and financial future

Whether you're nearing retirement or just trying to stay afloat, this episode is packed with insight and practical advice.
