    Looks like it was about a 1/3. But then they also withheld for health ins. No PIN yet so can't go to the OPM website to get a look at what is going on.

    During the processing time period they don't withhold dental or eye glasses insurance payments but the provider will send you a bill when it's due.

    Yeah, would be good to know what they withheld. The good news is, it only took about a couple of weeks to start receiving my TSP funds after they received the paperwork.

    There's no way that I have enough money set aside to go 6+ months with little money coming in.

    How soon did you guys start your retirement papers before actually retiring?
    May the force be with us.

    Three Months!
    That 455 hours of annual leave I cashed in made the wait no problem.

    I'm hoping to have about 400 hours of AL to turn in. If that check shows up within a month of retirement I think it will hold me over for a couple of months.

    You will probably start getting your partial check (80%) about then, you can make it!

    USPS must have something different, as I got letters from both vision and dental providers that they will continue coverage and will not bill me but wait until OPM has my retirement straight and then collect. Here is the statement from the letters:

    "We will not begin deducting premiums from your annuity until your annuity amount is finalized and your regular annuity payments begin. After the first deduction occurs, we will adjust the deduction amount in order to collect any premiums we could not collect in the prior months. You will receive a letter explaining this adjustment process before we collect the missed premiums."

    My annual buyback was in my final paycheck. Retired Dec 31 and was in the Jan 7 paycheck. Even got holiday pay for New Years.
