Retirement VideosThis information is relevant to all employees – those who are currently eligible to retire, those who are planning to retire in the near future, and those employees who are new to the Postal Service. You are encouraged to view online retirement seminars, available for viewing on non-postal computers at https://liteblue.usps.gov/, on the “MY LIFE” tab by clicking on “Retirement Seminar Online.” Also available at the site are workbooks to download as study aids. The sessions are presented in modules that vary in length from four minutes to 25 minutes, and they were specifically developed for Postal Service employees only, not for those of other federal agencies.
