I imagine that everyone has received their first installment check by now. Mine came to the office from which I retired, and I got it on 11/10/2009, actually. Good Luck to all my fellow retirees. I’m enjoying the hell out of this…no one ever lay on their deathbed and said ” Gee, I wish I worked more !”

the $10,000 paper check (minus taxes and medicare) was sent to my last post office of employment, no direct deposit, they promised to call me but didnt, never got any kind of notification, typical post office, check the office you retired from, they should have your check, good luck.

Screwed again. First the initial info said that we would be paid October 13th or 16th, (forgot, but just looked at the paper) then that we would be paid December 11th………..well here it is the 11th and still no money. Can’t trust the post office liars.

Looks like radarm jazz is right. It’s Dec.11 and my first installment hasn’t been deposited. Has anyone gotten their first $10,000?

I was supposed to retire 10/31, but local management held MVS drivers here in Tampa for an additional 30 days. Does this mean I’m going to have to wait until January or February or later for my first incentive check?
I have heard that the PO is going to try to reduce management by 50% in the first quarter of next year. Anyone heard the same?

The USPS entered into a formal agreement with those of us accepting the incentive early out, of which the initial payment of $10,000 was to be paid in November. Obviously, it has not been paid. Therefore, they have breached the agreement and rendered our retirement agreement null and void. We should all report back to our respective offices as though we had never left. Either they get the incentive checks out now, or they get us back as employees, which they don’t want!

I just retired on October 31st. I am still waiting for my check to come on the buyout. As far as radarm jazzes reply I agree. All we can hope is we get our money and not get screwed by the Postal Service. Our next move would be to go to our local senator. Good Luck to all”

well, it’s past. november 13 and no incentive check yet. HRSS told me it’s been delayed to dec. 11. no reason was given.it could be delayed again.HRSS did say it was postal headquarters in D.C.that made the decision. I called the headquarters and they said they had no knowledge of the decision. well HRSS is a liar,the pmg is a liar,etc. etc.- typical p.o. bullshit!
