I scored! Established a login at dot-gov, went to OPM and got access to my data. I copied it and requested a paper copy. It arrived! Trouble is, I still have not received last year's refund, filed in...
Anyone been to OPM retirement services web site lately? A new, complicated login is necessary, with call-back and 10-character password. I went to check on getting a 1099R mailed to me in the future,...
Thanks again. Yes. I have both inquiries underway. We'll see what they do.
How much indeed? That was the question.
I knew my pension and SS combined would give me 1/2-pay, which would be fine for recurring expenses. Housing, though, needed $20,000 a year. Figuring I...
Here's another one: I have experienced a 'life-changing-event' and so can change my BC/BS policy from family to self. OPM again? Erasing her "official" existence is complicated.
Just what I wanted, thanks Mr. B.
I knew I'd get an answer, lots of brain power and experience on this board. And my retirement has been quite comfortable...until this.
Thanks for your kind remarks. I bought the annuity through OPM of course. I'll visit their website and my account-page later today.
Hi all. When I retired (FERS) I bought a 50% annuity for my wife at a cost of 10% of mine. Unfortunately she has pre-deceased me. Are my premiums refundable?
Give til it hurts, your future self will thank you.
Lights out, lights out in London!
If you're in, stay in. Keep buying ever-more worthless shares in ever-greater amounts to maintain your percentages, you're getting a bargain. Then when it reverses you'll climb out faster than you...
Dave, congratulations, you've earned it. I've been retired since 1/1/11 and have found it very easy to do, some readers here will recognize me. You have the leave -- they'll withhold 25% -- you have...
Yeah, I just got my 600 clams the other day, straight to the vault! I kept BC/BS and took Medicare A & B. Next year the refund for overlapping coverage will go to $800. I go to the doctor, it costs...
Hang in there, you are going to enjoy being Forecaster Emeritus when you retire. I did 25 years with NWS. I'd'a kept going but I was physically drained, it became a matter of the public safety....
60 or 62? You'll have to answer this question five years prior, in order to do what you gotta do in either case. I went at 60.
I estimated a 20+% increase in my pension if I stayed to 62 but that...
Thanks, guys, I'll be patient. And checking, I see now I did not get mine last year until after the 9th, the day I heard back from them with a form letter. Have a prosperous 2016!
Dave
Will I get a 1099R from OPM or do I have go to their site to view it?
I rolled mine into a pre-existing traditional IRA, takes 30 days for OPM to notify TSP. You'll pay a fee but you'll get service. They'll give you a questionnaire to determine your risk level and go...
Norm, you make a good point. For a long time you have been a heavy user of our health benefits. Were I able to say the same, I would certainly buy Part B. With BCBS Basic we pay hefty co-pays but get...

It's an old thread but I turn 65 in 6 months, therefore I am being bombarded with offers for health insurance! The whole world seems to know I am soon...

PARTIAL rollover, I never considered that; I sent it all to the pros. It might've been fun to retain some in the TSP to play with.
SS is nice isn't it. Mine equals OPM-FERS, they add up to...
Hey NASA, let the good times roll. No matter what you get from SSA numbers-wise, it will take ten years at FULL retirement before you show any 'profit' from not taking it at 62. That is, ten years...
Clog, congratulations, you made it! Don't worry about OPM, their wheels grind slowly but they will come through for you. Surely you expected delays and saved up a war chest? So what are your plans?
Dynamite! But there goes your back-pay, I got a nice check for $7k when they finally caught it up after 9 months. How are you doing on your sleep schedule? Got the rotation out of your system?
