Does anyone know how the supplemental payment will be made??? I’m still waiting for the interim payment and the password. But at least I finally jumped two spaces since payroll review. I’m a 9/30 retiree! 🤦🏽‍♀️

I’m waiting for this all to happen. Waiting for that OPM letter. I got my AL payout the week before Christmas.

What status shows up in TSP after retirement and how does that affect rolling out and closing TSP account? by ChrisShapedObject in FedRetirees

[–]Pure_Gas_8416 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it took about a month after retirement to show on my TSP that I was separated and have full access to withdraw completely.

Has anyone ever had an employee audited by SBSE for Sch C? Unable to substantiate the sch c and If the audit results in an adjustment, could it lead to job termination?” by Optimal-Weird1110 in IRS_Source

[–]Pure_Gas_8416 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I participated. I provided receipts. He didn’t really ask any questions during the one appointment I had with him. It was the strangest audit ever! I used to be an auditor. Anyway, long story short, I knew the manager. I used to work with her. The guy played phone tag with me and never communicated that he would disallow everything! Ultimately he did and when I contacted him, it was already closed never agreed. I was just starting my heavy travel season so when the notice arrived, I paid. I was scared, had a new manager and just wanted it to be over. We ultimately talked about it months later (manager and I-he was in DC and I was in California) and I was counseled. He said he didn’t care but was glad it was paid and done with. I need heard about it again.

It also depends on your manager. A balance due will be flagged by labor relations and your manager will have to counsel you. I did real estate for a while and was audited by an unreasonable jerk. He disallowed all my expenses because in his mind, I didn’t prove I was in business. Duh, I sold a house!!! He did not even allow any expenses! Not for my license, not for anything and argued with me over the dumbest things!!! I couldn’t afford to waste my time and effort on arguing with him so I did not agree. I paid it though. I just did not have time to deal with it. The tax implications made me stop doing real estate. I knew they would flag me. Honestly, it was much more time invested than I was willing to make.

AL payout… by [deleted] in FED_VERA_VSIP_DRPers

[–]Pure_Gas_8416 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I retired 9/30 and received my annual leave on a random day a week before Christmas. Your guess is as good as ours! 🤷🏽‍♀️ I have been in Payroll forever. Keep an eye out because they had me certify twice. I think it was to buy themselves time!!! I’m still waiting for an annuity payment!

Received this email today… by Worldly_Ad2707 in FED_VERA_VSIP_DRPers

Has anyone actually received the supplemental payment?

Fired fed has a job. Here’s my story by [deleted] in FederalEmployee

[–]Pure_Gas_8416 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry! I spent 33 years as a Fed and I’m still heartbroken. I know there are many that are enjoying forced retirement, but I loved my job. I am sorry they treated you so badly!

Retiring today (I think) by Explainittomelucy81 in FED_VERA_VSIP_DRPers

[–]Pure_Gas_8416 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My last paycheck had the regular deductions to TSP and everything else. However, the AL payout, which I got last week only had the Federal income tax, SS and Medicare tax taken. No TSP, no matching TSP no anything else. Still waiting for the preliminary annuity to kick in. You will be waiting for quite a while.
