FERS Refund Received Timeline

Hey I just got my FERS refund and I wanted to share the timeline.

12/28/2025 - USPS confirms mail received by OPM.

1/16/2026 - OPM logged refund in system. They said expect to wait 120 days from this date for refund. It also seemed it took like 15 days for them to log my file after receiving it.

5/14/2026 - Refund Received in bank account. It took 118 days from the log date of 1/16/2026. So the timeline of 120 days was correct.

Ultrasonic scaler tip to an endo file while the file is in the canal vs guttapercha pumping up and down the canal while the irrigant is in the canal. Which one would work better? Any other alternatives for endo activator? Thanks in advance.

Timeline - just got my FERS refund

I left as part of DRP due to the remote work nonsense, and sent in the FERS refund paperwork after getting my last paycheck around mid-October 2025. I just got the FERS refund today so that was about 5 months if any of you also submitted that and wanted to know how long it was taking. Good luck to those of you still sticking with the government
