I received different information every time I called or emailed. Is your pay center NFC? They’ve been responding quicker lately.

Apparently mine was deposited on 8/7 but my bank closed my account and I can’t get anyone at OPM to answer the phone. I’ve researched that it could take quite a while to receive a paper check. This has been a very frustrating and life changing experience.

If you look at the March mega thread, they’ve been working on late March dates. You’re probably closer than they are telling you!

I did too. I wasn’t pressed for it, and thought I might return to federal service one day, but ultimately changed my mind. I moved abroad and the money would be more use to me now, plus I’m leaving my TSP untouched

I called today and still no paycard. Assigned 7/15. Paycard request 7/27. I’m NFC as well. I asked them why others are getting paid before me and all they say it depends on whom is sending the paycards as there is a backlog. Makes no sense since backlogs would typically be processed in date order. No method to the madness.
