    Re: Been to the OPM Website lately?

    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...

    Been to the OPM Website lately?

    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,...

    Re: How much money do you need?

    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...

    Re: Survivor's Annuity

    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.

    Re: Survivor's Annuity

    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.

    Re: Survivor's Annuity

    Thanks for your kind remarks. I bought the annuity through OPM of course. I'll visit their website and my account-page later today.

    Survivor's Annuity

    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?

    Re: FERS retirement at 62?

    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...

    Re: 1099's From OPM?

    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!

    Will I get a 1099R from OPM or do I have go to their site to view it?
  18. Re: Retired guy needs some advice with rollover to ira.

    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...

    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.

    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?
