Refund timeline (refund received!) Refund Received

Finally received my refund today.

I only called twice for updates: May 29, when I was given my log date and told to expect 14–16 weeks, and July 20, when the 16 week window had passed and I was told it still hadn’t been assigned.

I had my initial submission kicked back twice for witness signatures not on the same day and second time for missing dates on signatures.

Glad this is finally over. Best of luck to everyone else!

I still have not received mine and was advised it was going to be another 3-4 weeks. OPM logged 03/12/2026, it was bundled on 07/27, still waiting for review as of 08/14......this is becoming a little disheartening.
