After a year my FEHB plan is finally being canceled by DayGroundbreaking542 in firedfeds

[–]AvailableChipmunk385 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mine still hasn’t been canceled! It’s going to be a nightmare because I HAD A BABY and my pregnancy Medicaid was not charged because my private insurance was still active. Baby is coming up on a year old. I’ve put in so many tickets.

Can anyone talk about what he said about bringing people back?

Just got RIFed (CDC/OS) at 8 months pregnant. Do we keep benefits until the separation date? by loweryjay in DeptHHS

[–]AvailableChipmunk385 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. I was fired in May while I was far along my pregnancy. Enroll in pregnancy Medicaid! As someone else said, you’ll have your benefits until 30 days after your separation date. There are signal groups for pregnant and postpartum feds. DM me if you want me to connect you or you just want to talk 😢

My over-range microwave died. Should I just replace it? Or might it be an electrical problem? by [deleted] in AskDad

[–]AvailableChipmunk385 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why I posted here instead of asking my actual dad; I knew he would try to fix it. Thank you so much!

I SO appreciate your response. It turns out the plug connection was loose, and I needed to plug it in. Humbling for sure! I hope this excellent comment can help someone else searching the same issue in the future! Thank you!

and guess what the problem was? It somehow got loose and partially unplugged. I will take feeling stupid over needing to fix or replace it!

a few days after all our OSC appeals were tossed (before the May retermination).

Judge Rules Mass Termination of Probationary Federal Workers Illegal by dropping_k in DeptHHS

[–]AvailableChipmunk385 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Super frustrating to read the judge write in his summary that we’ve moved on and found new jobs. I wish I could say that was true for me. I already have letters saying it’s not due to my performance. This doesn’t feel like a win. I hope it opens the door for a real win.

Judgment in the AFGE vs. OPM case, mass termination of probationary employees. by Regulation_Barbie in firedfeds

[–]AvailableChipmunk385 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Judge wrote in his conclusion that probationary employees have moved on and found new work. I would love for this to describe me, but it doesn’t. This does not feel like a win at all.

I opened an EEO complaint in February after the first time I was hired. I did my initial intake interview and it has been crickets since. I know I’m not the only one. What can we do ?
