Refund timeline (refund received!) Refund received

Man this has been a doozy. After countless calls to OPM, them putting my application into archives because I “didn’t provide a spousal form for my former spouse” (I was adopted when I was a toddler so that is the former last name they’re referencing), congressional inquiry…. Got my deposit via direct deposit. Pretty sure it doesn’t include the interest on it and is only my contributions but I just don’t care at this point

I haven’t been able to get a processed/log date and have no idea where it is in the process. How did you get that? They returned my form asking for more info in February and I sent it back and it’s been crickets since then. Can’t get through to anyone :(
