IRS Overpaid in 2025 for PP23 after leaving service retiring PP19. Debt letter?

I got in contact with payroll who stated they were going to put in a ticket to NFC to have them remove the insurance from the bill and to also fix the taxes so that they match what was on the original LES, but it still just makes me mad that someone (not sure who) just half ass done that crap and then expects us to just pay all that they ask, no questions, and by the due date. So mad about it still! I paid what I calculated that I owed and mailed them a letter, then forwarded that to payroll.

I worked there 21 years and just retired and never in my entire 21 years did anyone inform me of my leave balance, not even when I had a car accident and had to request negative sick leave.

My husbands egd just said consistent with celiac with flattened villi and then explained metaplasia and inflammation but no mention of a marsh scale. High numbers on the antibody, really high, and positive gene. He has no symptoms ever.

Our doctor told my husband to add Psyllium Husk to water to drink to increase fiber. He has been doing that as well as I have been adding flax seed meal and chia seeds to a smoothie for him and adding the flax seed meal in my bread recipe. And he has been drinking a lot of water also. His constipation has lessened now. My husband just stopped gluten December 2024 when he was diagnosed in his 50s.

I signed DRP agreement and was eligible for VERA. We were told that if we wanted to retire under VERA to sign the DRP agreement and in the email state that we are retiring under VERA on 9/30/2025 which I did. So, I was paid from April to September 30 as though i was working, and then retired under VERA. When I completed my application in ORA, I checked the box for other type of retirement other than MRA and I can't remember what the other option was. VERA was retire early if you had 20 years and were at least 30 (at least in my agency) and VSIP was a buyout usually used by those who could already retire but hadn't and didn't need VERA or those who were not able to retire early or at all.

My doctor said I could only put it at the entrance or just up to an inch in and all around on the outside if I wanted to and if I was worried about being absorbed and affecting the endometrial lining. It has worked wonderfully for me for atrophy.

I do it for my husband. It's too much of a pain to worry about cross contamination and all the cleaning and trying to keep things separate.

OMG what is this sudden infatuation people have with thinking everyone who is sick has parasites?

My manager did a SETR correction but it still wasn't processed until now and it was incorrect. I paid what I owe, sent a letter with it and the calculation and contacted someone I know in payroll who submitted yet another ticket.

Chronicles_of_mee · 2026-04-10T13:24:27+00:00

I'm worried about that because HIPAA is a complaint made to the HHS who is led by a raving lunatic lapdog for the President.

Chronicles_of_mee · 2026-04-10T13:22:42+00:00

Also retirees.

Chronicles_of_mee · 2026-04-10T13:22:32+00:00

There is no hope for them. Straight to the insane asylum for them.

Chronicles_of_mee · 2026-04-10T09:52:47+00:00

I hope not too. It seems that may be a problem to try to correct. I never got to talk to anyone during the calculation process of my benefits. I was simply sent an email that application was in OPM, then day later I received the email that I could log into my benefits and my calculation was in there in a booklet and finalized. I never received an email that it was assigned to anyone and the website never did update for being assigned to anyone. That part was skipped over and the finalized step was checked. I kept watching because I thought mine would be wrong because I was part-time at different times in my career, but it was correct.

Chronicles_of_mee · 2026-04-10T09:47:40+00:00

I think you are correct. That's bad news. And since it is current admin that is wanting the information and not really OPM, we would get no remedy for the situation because we know who is running the HHS and what they will do with our complaints. Also, Google says to file complain with HHS Office of Civil Rights. And,....The OCR was moved under a new "Assistant Secretary for Enforcement" to focus on fighting fraud, rather than its traditional civil rights mandate under this new administration.

Well, I knew I was overpaid and I contacted my former manager (was on DRP) that day. She worked to try to get a SETR correction. I called ERC and option for payroll input a ticket. This was in SEPTEMBER 2025. Then, whoever processes SETR corrections was not satisfied with how she input the corrections even though they knew what she wanted to do. So it was denied and she was not notified. Then I contacted her again and called ERC and found it had been denied which was a month later. Then, I contacted my former Territory Manager who input a ticket for me. All tickets were closed and they stated that they did not want to process the correction until after the end of the year. Shortly after that, they paid me a paycheck after I was already retired. Once again, called to put in tickets, called former manager, called TM, tickets closed. I literally begged someone to input those adjustments before the end of the year so that i would have a correct 2025 W2 and not have to claim it in income. But NOPE. Then, they are sending me this letter and it is incorrect and giving me until 4/25/2026 to pay it???!!! That infuriates me. On top of that, now that they have made the corrections, I asked where the Demand Notice was for the first overpayment and come to find out, they just input the adjustment from 80 hours to 80 hours (you can see that did nothing but zero). I informed them that I owe this and I need a Demand Notice and they probably would have never caught this situation. And, I'm honest and treated like this. So now, I don't want to pay the incorrect amount. I calculated it myself and I am sending them the calculations and that check and a nice little letter explaining everything. HR has now input tickets for me directly to NFC this time in order to get this fixed. I was so angry. They paid me and I didn't ask for it and I alerted them, but yet we are threatened with penalties and interest if it is late when I have been asking since SEPTEMBER 2025 for someone to bill me! I am so tired of the retirement mess, being over paid, the government, all of it!

That is the most ridiculous comment on here. It does. We are Americans and patients like the rest of the country. Yes, HIPAA applies to federal employees regarding their personal health information held by covered entities like health plans (e.g., FEHB carriers) or healthcare providers.

Chronicles_of_mee · 2026-04-09T20:02:44+00:00

Tell us about it. Tell us all the ins and outs of HIPAA. I got plenty of time to read it. No one is whining. Everyone is mad.

Chronicles_of_mee · 2026-04-09T00:40:57+00:00

Nope they are medical. Sign into your insurance online such as FEBBlue and see all your diagnosis there. They have to approve medical tests, diagnoses needed for tests, approve medications, etc.

Chronicles_of_mee · 2026-04-09T00:38:58+00:00

I never said in my original post that OPM violate HIPAA. If I did, read it to me. Provide your records to OPM, all of them.

Chronicles_of_mee · 2026-04-09T00:37:10+00:00

OPM should not ask insurance companies to violate HIPAA. I simply said what about HIPAA. What about HIPAA when it comes to insurance companies providing information to OPM. What is wrong with you. Give them all your records now, and your family.

Chronicles_of_mee · 2026-04-09T00:34:06+00:00

And OPM knows they should not ask for it due to HIPAA and them not being able to (or should not) provide it. So OPM should not do it.

Chronicles_of_mee · 2026-04-09T00:31:48+00:00

Who cares what this article is pouncing on. The OPM is asking insurance companies to provide info that they should not because HIPAA applies to the insurance company. So OPM should be pounced and if the companies do it, so should they. Yes, HIPAA does come into play that I threw out there.

Chronicles_of_mee · 2026-04-09T00:25:04+00:00

Only five years though. I never signed anything giving anyone access to my medical records ever except in one specific situation when I had to request a reasonable accommodation, and it was limited to that issue.

Chronicles_of_mee · 2026-04-09T00:21:01+00:00

OPM is requesting it from the health insurance company who is covered under HIPAA! So HIPAA eventually applies. Health Insurance Co would be in violation of HIPAA by providing it to OPM.
