-- Welcome to the "other side"! Apparently you did not get run over by "DB".

-- If you can not log on to Liteblue, the USPS has cut ties with you. ( not a bad thing )

-- OPM's first check is "usually" 70-80% of what a "normal" amount should be.

-- No idea about the supplemental SS amount. Could be the 1/4 amount was from SS. SS and OPM are different departments, so possibly different deposits. Will your bank tell you where the deposit came from?

-- OPM will be sending 2 envelops -- one has your account info and the other will be a temporary password. ( at least that was the way it was done long ago ) Previous retired posters have said they got their password about 2 weeks after retiring.

-- Enjoy the other side.

They come in the same check, but the supplement doesn't start until you get your "full" amount----when everything is finalized.

Concur with above info. Most save up 6 months of funds or annual payout to wait for OPM finalization. It's not generally OPM that is the delay, it's USPS HR not responding to OPM requests for official employment records to determine lwop, leave and pay status. OPM can usually finalize in a week once USPS complies with data info.

Isn't it fantastic how much better your body feels? Or maybe it's the mental shift away from irritations

Supplemental does not come from SS it comes from OPM It's been quite a while since I retired and don't recall exactly how long it took to get the supplemental and get the correct annuity amount. It wasn't that long, maybe three months and I believe it was all on one check.

I’m already past supplement eligibility but let me get this straight… the social security supplement is not administered by SS ?

No. The Supplemental is added to the Retirement Income until you reach 62 yrs of age at which time you are cut off. You have to file with SS for that pay at age 62 or later.
