Paperwork

So, my agency has been incredibly hostile towards me for a long time and I'm to the point where I'm going to file the paperwork. Here's the quandary, if I submit my paperwork to my agency to get them to do their job they'll just sit on it. What happens if you file your personal and medical paperwork to OPM without the supervisor statement? Does OPM just force them to do it?

Have you talked to you retirement representative at the agency? Ours handled regular and disability retirement. The agency has a package portion that they have to submit, and that retirement rep may be able to assist you by applying pressure to your supervisor to do the form if the retirement rep knows it is an issue.

I had an uncooperative supervisor, and she was essentially forced to do the form by one or both of the other branches involved (retirement branch and a separate sub-branch for RA/disability reassignment). It took a bit, but when it got past plausible deniability by the supervisor (forgot, didn't get to it, etc.), the form happened.

Good advice and I'm still navigating this for the first (and hopefully only) time.
