[quote=Anonymous]As another DOGE'd fed, I respectfully suggest that your spouse may need some grace. I know that a lot of people equate DOGE'ings to the kind of job loss that happens to people all of the time, but this has in so many respects been so cruel and designed to inflict pain and dehumanize and defame civil servants. I know a lot of people who may be fairly characterized as 'paralyzed' - but I think that many of them are grieving not just the loss of their livelihoods, but in many cases the dissolution and devaluation of their entire fields. And as a previous poster mentioned, it is grim out there, especially for those of us who are older. I recognize this may not be the situation with your spouse, but thought that I would put it out there.

On retirement, my Agency HR is overwhelmed and months behind on retirements. Annuities will be retroactive once the retirement packages get processed, but we have been told to expect at least a 4 month delay. I know that it is incredibly frustrating that it is nearly impossible to get information on individual cases - if your spouse is not able to get the information that you both need, some people that I know have had luck by making an inquiry through their Congressional reps.

Good luck to your family as you weather this difficult time. [/quote]
