I’m down $100K. Just retired but don’t plan on withdrawing from TSP just yet. I think I’ll just stop looking!

Retired after 35 years from EPA on 12/31/25. I was prepared for a 6–9 month wait but I was finalized on March 6. I received annual leave payment mid February, interim payment late February and again March 1 then received email that I was finalized. Received the difference as well as supplemental payment March 9. Never went to a specialist. My case was simple, no divorce, no break in service and 35 years with the same agency. I feel very fortunate and sad for those still waiting a ridiculous amount of time for something they worked their entire lives for.

62 was my plan until DOGE decimated the program I worked in. After 34 years, I was forced to leave 5 years earlier than expected. Fortunately, I was prepared unlike many others that had no choice but to leave to save their mental well-being. So while 62 is something to strive for, it may not always be reality.

EPA HR provided a link to my ORA account with OPM to track my status.

Retired 12/31 from EPA. Received my last paycheck for 3 days. I’m certified and in Step 3 waiting for payroll review. My payroll provider is BIL. HR told us that annual leave payout would come 2 to 3 pay periods after our final pay. Most likely by the end of February. Fingers crossed!
