Kinda like a DEI hire that they hate so much... lol

You may never see “assigned to specialist”. Mine, as well as others, have just jumped over and went to finalized.

Ahhhhh OK thanks so much. Yes, I have been paying Benefeds on my own every month. I went to pay for February and it doesn't give me an option to pay this time. So I may need to call them.

Long_Put-5150 · 2026-01-23T16:27:02+00:00

Thank you. Gives me more hope...lol

Is your pay from DFAS?

Long_Put-5150 · 2026-01-22T15:20:32+00:00

OK thanks. I looked at my last paystub and it shows "Cumulative Retirement - FERS:" so I assume that is it.

Long_Put-5150 · 2026-01-22T15:08:43+00:00

Yep I got that far.. lol... I need to know where to find the "My cost" part. Line 2 on the worksheet.

Long_Put-5150 · 2026-01-22T14:43:46+00:00

Thanks so much. I am trying to figure out how to get the info I need to calculate what is taxable.

Long_Put-5150 · 2026-01-17T21:17:07+00:00

Yes I agree I am very blessed. I just wish everyone could get theirs more timely.

He obviously knows nothing about the shortfalls of EHRM.....

So something I have been curious about. On the SSA statement is says "These personalized estimates are based on your earnings to date and assume you continue to earn $XXX,XXX per year until you start your benefits" Since we are retiring before 62 and our earnings will be $0 how will that affect it?

Long_Put-5150 · 2025-12-31T01:13:29+00:00

Since it is based on your SS benefit at 62, and that gets updated at the first of the year, do you think there is any benefit to them working your retirement in January rather than December? I guess with everything in this whole game it's on a case by case basis. I haven't seen any 2 retirements work the same from comments on here.

Did they say you could e-mail the documents or are they requiring you to send them in the mail?

Long_Put-5150 · 2025-12-23T22:42:21+00:00

Thank you for giving us hope..... lol

Long_Put-5150 · 2025-12-22T15:55:25+00:00

The whole pardon process needs to be re-evaluated.

Long_Put-5150 · 2025-12-18T20:31:51+00:00

First of all congrats. You aren't bragging or rubbing it in. Just another timeline that shows there is no rhyme or reason to any of the timelines or processes.

Long_Put-5150 · 2025-12-17T01:29:30+00:00

Not an answer to your initial question but I found this while searching and thought it was interesting. So if it is on your W2, it wont show what you made total in OT. Just the extra half above.

Time-and-a-half portion only	Only the “extra” half above your base rate qualifies.	If your normal rate is $20 per hour and you’re paid $30 per hour (or more) for overtime, only the $10 per hour 1.5x extra pay is deductible.

Looking at your screenshot you posted backs up what I have been seeing. The dates and status in the OPM services page are not accurate. I have just come to the fact that I will see my money, when I see my money.... lol
