8+ Weeks and No Annual Leave Payout

I took DRP2 in April and retired 9/30 from the IRS. I had my application in GRB in April and then in July HR reached out and said I needed to resubmit everything into the new OPM retirement system, which I completed that day. Then dead silence until November 17 when they finally processed my package and I certified it on 11/17.

Still no annual leave payout and I was just told I have to wait until early January. Really!!

This agency does not care about retiring employees. We are just a strain on their workload. No money coming in from them and bills still having to be paid. Thank you again IRS!
