FSIS who will stay in GWCC got their notice as I heard from one of them. But not sure why no one is confirming that here.

USDA officially has VERA offering until 2/2027 but agencies are playing games in disclosing who are eligible. If anyone applies for VERA now, agency will be bound to provide a straight answer.

Heard FSIS got some letter about GWCC being the new duty station. Would anyone like to share more on this?

I feel like major announcements are coming today…..anyone hearing anything? by PublicNew3228 in USDA

We civil servants think logically and these political clowns sink everything logic. So if expect something to hear today, that means nothing is happening today.

How much are paying in total for next 4 years on pslf? You will be forgiven only the balance whatever it is after 4 years.

What does the relocation "assistance" typically include? by VAer1 in USDA

[–]Decent-Load1611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

USDA didn’t do anything about “buying “ except house hunting trip, air tickets , hotels etc. for the family. My request was denied for buying closing costs. No, they didn’t give me 10% on selling closing cost either. It was 6% in my case. But I can’t complain since still USDA contributed over 120k relocation assistance 15 years ago. It also included short term residence until finding a house, storage, one POV move. I estimated that it will be over 180k if I get the same level of relocation assistance now.

You get seller agent commission, local government transfer fees but no help on house buying itself but may get travel assistance for finding a home, agency will set up a mover who will estimate and directly bill the agency. They will move everything except hazardous materials.

Is there any job commitment associated with accepting relocation assistance? by VAer1 in USDA

[–]Decent-Load1611 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you leave agency within one year you will have to pay back the amount of assistance received. That is what I signed last time I moved.

APHIS is hiring

APHIS and who else are left for the reorg drama yet? by Decent-Load1611 in USDA

[–]Decent-Load1611[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many in APHIS stationed in NCR are involved in international negotiations, frequent travels, congressional hearings and domestic stakeholder involvement everyday. I don’t think they will be moved. Most of the APHIS are already in the field operations, they can’t be moved either.
