2/20 Logged — assigned but not reviewed
Hello! DOL DRP 1.0 here. I originally sent my refund request back in November 2025, but for whatever reason it was never received. I resubmitted it in January, and it was logged Feb 20. I really needed the money for my studies last semester (grad student), but I was definitely counting on it to be here by summer at the latest.
Now I’m in a situation where I really need it by the beginning of next month if I am going to make rent on time. I called OPM yesterday, and they told me that it had been assigned to a specialist but not yet sent for review. Has anyone else been told this? What is the usually turnaround from assigned to a payment being received? They wouldn’t give me a timeline but said to call back if I hadn’t gotten anything in 30 days.
