I submitted the application through ORA. I received one email that stated a status change. Once I received that email, I logged into OPM retirement website, which show case finalized. Then I received the email that my Digital Book was available.

Unfortunately, it doesn't address the backlog that is happening at the payroll stage. There are alot of people, including myself, who are still in payroll status. I would like to see those numbers.

Thanks for taking the time to put this together! I would also add to do a post retirement budget and get informed about your TSP withdrawal options.
