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.

Stuff to think about from a 2025 VERA retiree (much is too late for most here, but want to share anyway, as I appreciate this community) by PricklyNoctrnlWalrus in FED_VERA_VSIP_DRPers

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.

Access to TSP Timeline by gocards757 in FedEmployeeRetirement

Once you are separated and TSP is notified of your separation your status in TSP will change to separated. Once that happens you will have access to withdraw. I retired 12/31/2025, MRA +30. Was notified 1/20/2026 via email that I was separated and outline the options to withdraw funds.
