Nothing new from OPM this morning. Tuesday will be payday and hopefully I see some movement out of interum pay status next week. We can only hope.
Nasa,
My Sept pay posted yesterday, much to my surprise !
Still no specialist assigned on my OPM status page , though.
Good luck !
Stoplight...
Thanks for the heads up..... I have to check my bank account, I thought our interim pay would not post until next Tuesday..... More delay for my annuity. Received a letter yesterday from OPM, Court Ordered Benefits Section... They need more documentation from my ex wife to proceed.. GRRR.. Have'nt seen or spoken to her in 10 years. But do have her address so off went a nice letter this morning requesting she provide the info... So.. they're working on my case (retired 2/20/12) but have to now wait for more info... So I'm back into the "HOLD" pile, I'm sure. Oh well... it'll work out eventually.. Have a good Labor Day, everyone!!
Well my last day was yesterday! I did not want a luncheon and prayed to not shed a tear as a lot of employees lose it. We had cake and donuts and rec a 300 cash gift which was a pleasant surprise. Made a trip to best buy and purchase a samsung laptop for 400 bucks.
My worries with the job disappeared 3 weeks ago and have been using a lot of sick leave helps! My final fers supplement was more generous than estimation done several months ago as HR person had my actual file this time to calculate.
Everybody have a wonderful Labor Day".........life is good!

Congraduations!
Stoplight, somewhat good news for you. Early deposit of check that is. I just looked and mine hasn't shown up yet. Wasn't expecting it until Tuesday anyway.
Marty
Dutchy, sorry to hear about the hold up. Hopefully the EX does the right thing and gets the information in quickly. Good Luck.
Marty
Congratulations and enjoy the new laptop. Hopefully some of our pointers will help you prepare for what will be happening. Good luck.

Interesting....I wonder if Dutchy got his yet ? I'm thinking it may have to do with how a person's bank treats "direct deposit" ??
I think the bank receives a notice that the deposit is coming. In the past, I noticed our "old" bank (Bank of America) would show a direct deposit a day or 2 before, but list it as "processing" or "pending".
With our "new" bank (USAA 4-Star Checking), they seem to show it as posted and available the day they hear about it !
I noticed that with the Wife's State of Maryland retirement deposit when I switched her's over. I just switched my retirement deposit from B of A to USAA, so this is the first one that went to USAA. BTW...OPM did get the change in my direct deposit correct that I filed on-line !
That's MY theory, anyway, and I'm sticking to it

Hope your Labor Day weekend is a good one, too !

BJ,
CONGRATULATIONS !!! Just remember, it'll take a while for the stress of the job to fade away, but it will, eventually ! The Wife warned me of that, and she was right...
Time for you to start your own retirement thread, so we can all learn what kind of obstacles you go through, getting your full retirement pay

Nice thing about retirement is I don't have to worry about taking leave to go on vacation. Almost every day is a vacation. 
We have a cruise coming up this October and already booked one for next October. And depending how soon my full retirement pay starts coming in along with the back pay, we are looking to take the kids on a cruise sometime early next year. I'm starting to like this. I just hope I can afford it.:embarrest:

okay, when I hear from OPM will start new thread..............went to krogers this morning for my 5% senior discount, didnt even know about it til recently. My worries dissipated when I quit actually doing my job about a month ago. I feel like I am AWOL..............feel sorry for older employees at kroger working their butt off, dont want to brag too much that I could retire at 56! Well off to work a little too hard at my blowout garage sale I am having this weekend.
bj
Congratulations again BJ !! I know how you feel. I see many very elderly folks working at WalMart, Krogers, etc., and feel sad for them... I don't feel guilty nor would I ever brag as we each make our own life choices. I advise all the young people I meet, choose your career field wisely and save for your future !!

Couldn't have said it better myself !!! I've caught flak, even from some friends and family members, on how "it must be nice to retire at age 57 !" Yes, it is
And I remind them : "I made life choices ; YOU made life choices...if my career choice and saving habits got me here, then that's something I can be proud of !"Stoplight...
WOO!!! HOO!!!
My case is finalized
I went online to look at my accounts at my Credit Union this morning and there was a deposit made Friday the 7th and it had the same designation as my interum pay. So I went to the OPM website and sure enough there was a check mark next to "case finalized" and it was dated the 5th. I get my full retirement check starting October 1st. Stoplight I hope your full payment starts soon as well.
