Dallas-Fort Worth has regional offices for many federal agencies plus a major joint reserve base. We help DFW feds by phone or video, and we have no local office.
Federal employers in the area
- EPA Region 6 has its main office in Dallas and covers the South Central states[16].
- Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth was the country's first joint reserve base. It is home to Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Army and Texas Air National Guard units, with about 10,000 military, reserve, guard and civilian team members[17].
Benefits contacts
DoD civilians at the reserve base use their service's benefits center. For the Navy that is 1-888-320-2917, and for the Air Force it is AFPC BEST at 1-800-525-0102[2]. Civilian-agency employees start with their agency HR office. Retirees call OPM at 1-888-767-6738[3].
Texas tax on your FERS annuity
Texas has no personal income tax, and any personal income tax law would need voter approval[18]. That means no state tax on your FERS annuity or TSP withdrawals.
Cost of living
BEA puts the 2024 price level for the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metro at 103.1, where 100 is the U.S. average[1].
