GREETINGS ALL...HOPE EVERYONE HAS ENJOYED THEIR FIRST WEEK OF RETIREMENT...OPEN SEASON BEGINS MONDAY, AND I AM CHANGING MY HEALTH PLAN, BUT I BELIEVE I NEED WHATS CALLED A CSA NUMBER, WHICH I HAVE NOT RECIEVED AS OF YET. IF ANYONE HAS ANY INFORMATION ON THIS SUBJECT, PLEASE POST. AND IF ANY OF YOU HAVE EITHER HEARD OR KNOW ANY NEW INCENTIVE PAYMENT UPDATED INFO, PLEASE POST. THANK YOU AND ENJOY

kjs- you will not get your CSA # until your retirement is finalized. could take 2-3 months. Go to OPM.gov and call the 800# and ask them how you can switch w/o a CSA #. I would guess you could use your SS# in that case but I am sure OPM could tell you.

 the paper that my friend received said that the CSA number will be issued before the end of the month or in about two weeks.

thanks much vet. we have until midnight, dec. 14th, so i hope to get that number by at least the 13th...stay postin'

hey hacker, thanks for that info...i'm going to call opm in the morning...always appreciate all updates and will do the same. good night

postalvet- Believe what you want but I have been there and done that. I left July 3 and got my CSA number in a booklet that was prepared September 7th. A lot longer than two weeks.

Ok, so how did you receive your interim money?

Hello people, hope all is well.
It's been very quiet for the past week. Has anyone heard any new or updated information? The TSP has me officially out of the USPS system. Not much else to report. All good here. TC

/m1363 kjs, this forum has the tendancy to go dormant from time to time. Here is something that should get people excited. We are not exempt from the ravages of Barrack Hussein Obama. Is there nothing this man can't screw up. http://www.federaltimes.com/article/200911...305/1043/BENEFITS04

I don't read the federal times. Sort of like watching fox "news".

/m1365 Huh!

m/1362 -- They used my SS number until I was finalized.

/m1364 - No, there is not, along with all of his dem friends.

/m1365 - then you don't get accurate news. Fox News is the ONLY source for 'tell it like it is' accurate news.

By the way old clerk...how 'bout going ahead and send me and DazedandConfused an interim payment on your part of Obama's share the wealth plan.

Apparently Obama's opinion of the USPS is the same as the majority of Americans. Federal Times is a totally pro management publication. If you can't see that, then you must really be dazed and confused.

i'm with you on that one old clerk...

/m1369 Whatever?
