Retiring Soon? Don’t Forget This Step!

Did you know your retirement application doesn’t go straight to OPM? Your agency’s HR and payroll teams have to do a bunch of behind-the-scenes work first—like checking your eligibility, certifying your benefits, and closing out your records. If there’s a holdup, it might be on your agency’s end, not OPM! Pro tip: Double-check your Certified Summary of Federal Service when you get it and follow up if you don’t get notified when your file is sent to OPM. #RetirementTips #FederalEmployees #HRSecrets #OPM #RetirementPlanning #JobCareer
