Gov shutdown pushed my DA199 signing party back due to waiting around for an OSC attorney. HOWEVER I signed the new DA199 on 02DEC, PEBLO signed her portion yesterday 04DEC and has been processed. As of now I'm waiting for orders with a final date out, and memo from ICORE.

Sounds like techs typically get 45 days after being discharged to burn up whatever leave/finalize disability packet (or so I'm told) so that'll be the next hurdle.

We are in the exact same boat. I received my DA 199 today and am going to have legal review it with me and sign hopefully today. Where are you a tech at if you don't mind me asking? I am a fed tech at CSMS. Have you done any of the OPM retirement side of things yet?

I'm based out of UTES.

I completed my retirement packet like a year ago I'm sure HRO will want updated data when I get to that point.

Right next door! lol

Interesting, I haven't done anything with HRO yet. Just filled out my basic info on all forms. Did you have to get stuff signed from your civilian DR and supervisor and all that too?
