What happens if my FedRec has not been approved, but my DD 368 is signed, I am officially released, and fall into IRR?

I am in the Guard, working on a USAR transfer. Issue is my scroll is taking longer than expected like everyone else. USAR, from my understanding, is still having issues completing transfers due to previous IPPS-A issues, so I may fall on to IRR until USAR can pick me up. So if my DD 368 is signed, then I am officially released, then fall into IRR temporarily but my FedRec has not been approved, what actually happens? I have heard that essentially I will have to restart the promotion packet once I am officially in the Reserves. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Thanks.

If you've been DA Select for promotion to O3, then it's not an issue. If you were doing a vacancy promotion in the Guard, then you might have a problem (I assume the former is true based on what you said).
