5. Federal Employee Retirement System monthly annuity checks come from a trust fund; not annual appropriations

FYI --

Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) payments are funded through a trust fund, not annual appropriations.

I ran this query through Microsoft's co-pilot and it gave me that summary sentence and a bunch of details on the mechanics plus links back to congress.gov where the data originated:

Are federal employees retirement system payments paid out of a trust fund or out of annual appropriations?

If you're a FERS retiree like me, your check should be in your bank account on the first business day of November (Nov 3).
