OPM December retirement claims receives a small break

office of personnel management opm employee express

OPM received a slight remission in the number of retirement applications it received towards the end of the last year with the company continually slogging away at the claim backlog for the month of December.

OPM December claims received a break:

OPM received the lowest number of claims in December 2015 since December of 2014 i.e. 4753. The number was 4077 when reports were compiled a year before last month.

Around 6000 claims were processed during December 2015 though, and it left the backlog of unprocessed retirement cases at around 11 thousand which is a good enough figure to start off the New Year. OPM has been increasing their processing number throughout the year and in May it processed around 11 thousand claims which was also a record. Another interesting fact is that the organization processed around 78 percent of all the claims within 60 days or less in the last year. This rate was around 85 percent for 2014.

All in all, 2015 was a very big year for OPM with the data breach incident taking the spotlight away from all the other developments. It’s expected that the vigour with which the employees worked after the data breach is going to get extended with the start of the New Year. They have started encouraging people to drop in their retirement applications as their motivation to deliver has increased many folds. It’s hoped that they are not going to be faced with another predicament in the near future and that they will be able to help the federal officers get their retirements processed smoothly as well.
