I’ve submitted my retirement paperwork. Now what?

Sometimes submitting your federal retirement paperwork isn’t the end to your procedural questions, but another beginning: Where is my application now? When will I get paid? How much will I receive while I wait? What could delay my case? And who do I call if something goes wrong? On this episode of Fed Thread, we follow the paperwork from your agency to OPM and what happens along the way with two people who know the process from different angles: Ben Amos, a former OPM insider who now helps federal employees navigate retirement, and Thiago Glieger, a private wealth advisor at RMG Advisors. They explain: - how interim pay works, - what can cause a case to get stuck, - why keeping your own records matters, and - how much cash to have available while waiting for regular payments to kick in. The conversation also wades into what life looks like when federal service is no longer structuring your days. Because submitting your retirement paperwork may be the end of your federal career, but it’s just the beginning of the life you’ve been saving for.

They explain:

-  how interim pay works,

-  what can cause a case to get stuck,
