  The Office of Personnel Management was able to process far more retirement claims than it received last month, bringing the outstanding backlog down by 24%.

  At the end of March, the backlog stood at 19,211 claims, but as of the end of April, it now sits at 14,517 thanks to OPM processing 11,935 claims last month.
