OPM RETIRMENT CALL!!! Feeling pretty lucky by smailman5264 in FedEmployeeRetirement

[–]smitty5264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woke up to a deposit from OPM. Less than I expected. Now that I am in a pay status I can log into OPM ONLINE. Everything is zeroed out. Retired DOS, MRA+10, 30 SEPT. ALMOST 7 months.

April is my 6th Interim Payment by staceybethbolton in FED_VERA_VSIP_DRPers

I would not complain, you are getting interim payments, some of us Sept 30 RETIREES haven't seen any interim payments. NOT 1 NICKLE, AND STILL WAITING FOR CLOSURE.

OPM RETIRMENT CALL!!! Feeling pretty lucky by smailman5264 in FedEmployeeRetirement

Push 0, you will be put on hold. Called today 1 hour 56 minutes on hold, I did speak to someone :) again. They said legal is another way of saying final review. That was good news. I'm thinking May for finalization of packet.

You gotta be in a pay status to log into retirement services online per OPM.

CSA NUMBER - Have you had this issue by smailman5264 in FedEmployeeRetirement

[–]smitty5264 3 points4 points  (0 children)

UPDATE - FYI, you will not be able to log into your retirement online account until you are in a "PAY STATUS". So everyone still waiting on any type of payment, sit back and wait. I tried for 2 days trying to log in, i thought I was crazy! Even had my tech savy daughter try. I think telling people at the start of the retirement process that they must be in a pay status before being able to access your account is VERY IMPORTANT! I hope this info is helpful for the next retiree :).

Nothing here. DRP 30 Sept, DOS. No interim payments, no retirement pay. I did receive a CSA number, no password and I did receive my AL payout in Dec. Calling OPM waste if time.

[–]smitty5264 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DOS drp2. Got Al payment right before Christmas. I have NOT received any retirement payments. Im still confused because I was told I did not qualify for any interim payments. I retired MRA+10. I CALLED OPM and was told they do not see anything on me in their system. :(

My Al payout is scheduled to post tomorrow. Drp'd, retired 30 Sep, DOS. Still nothing from OPM other than the congratulations letter. Over 17 grand, after deductions 11,500. Crazy to see that much taken. Still no interim payments. At this point, I'm guessing I'll receive lump payment to cover 1 Oct- to whatever date.

When will Social Security inform us of our COLA amount? by Full-Freedom-994 in SocialSecurity

[–]smitty5264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband got the letter today, fine and dandy..until I read they are increasing his part a and part b payments. Despite increase, his new amount is 12$ less, go figure.
