For over 20 years FEDweek has helped federal and military employees and retirees get the most out of their careers and the federal benefits they have earned. FEDweek is close to the federal community and has a veteran team of experts and writers with their ears to the ground.

FEDweek was founded by Don Mace, a Vietnam veteran who served in the Air Force. He covered federal employee and retiree news for over 30 years in a variety of capacities, originally as a beat reporter on Capitol Hill.

We are committed to providing every federal employee and retiree with the latest meaningful information on their pay and benefits – from first hire through retirement – so they can take full advantage of their opportunities and avoid costly mistakes.
