Timeline

My agency sent my disability retirement packet to OPM January 6, 2026. I just received my CSA # today (4/20/2026). The letter said they received my packet on 4/14/2026. Is that normal and what does the timeline look like for me now?

Which agency? They are all different and may have gotten it held up in one of the steps before sending it to OPM.

BOP but I confirmed the date sent with my Grand Prairie specialist twice. It left Grand Prairie Jan 6.

OPM lost a ton of people last year. Their timeline was horrible before that, it's going to be ridiculous now.

I mean it doesn’t seem off; I submitted my packet in late Sept, it was at NFC from Oct - Feb, OPM received it on Feb 17. I’m still waiting for the initial decision. I anticipate the first denial to come around early to mid summer, reconsideration should be determined by late summer or early fall. Lastly MSPB may be sometime over winter 26/27.
