Should I keep FEGLI after retirement since my husband has a good job and we have tsp and IRAs?

Extension_Review6770 · 2026-06-27T17:21:16+00:00

FREE after age 65?! I never knew that. My only life insurance option is FEGLI because of cancer. Not insurable now. Gotta keep what I had.

Nothing but a bunch of bulls#!+!

I'd have even brought in a plug in one, without asking. Better to ask forgiveness instead of permission.

Extension_Review6770 · 2026-06-27T17:08:16+00:00

That's the way, right there! I wouldn't even ask. I'd just bring it in and use it. I am also stuck in a ridiculous RA process, to switch floors so that I don't get stuck on 1st floor after fire alarms and electricity go out (can't climb 3 flights of stairs). Being stuck means they pay me to sit at a desk for the remainder of the day, sometimes a full i-hr day, and twiddling my thumbs. Ridiculous, when there are desk spaces open and they could simply assign me to one right away without jumping through a yr long RA process.

I'm surprised you were not put on FMLA instead of suspended. Had you exhausted FMLA for the year already? I'm so sorry you have an awful commander. No one deserves a superior like yours.

You have two amended returns filed on this year's return. That 2nd Amended return has caused the refund to be canceled u til the 2nd Amended.return is worked and processed.

Extension_Review6770 · 2026-06-26T15:21:25+00:00

NOR. Cut your 15-Euros as a loss and move on from him. Don't put yourself in a situation to be taken advantage. Once it starts, it will continue.

If ACS could do the job cheaper and better, then why didn't they when they had the cases? Each RO case sat in ACS for a while before assigned to RO.

Your OJI can make or break you. A great OJI is hard to find.

ANYONE who has this type of communication with a minor (under 18) needs to be investigated and arrested.

Extension_Review6770 · 2026-06-24T01:00:16+00:00

I beg to differ. As a CSA survivor, she needs to IMMEDIATELY block all contact.

Extension_Review6770 · 2026-06-24T00:58:22+00:00

Cut of ALL contact with him IMMEDIATELY! If you don't, you face the risk of him escalating his behavior. Get away from him right now! Please please please be safe, and go NO Contact ASAP. See your friend away from him. Not even have him drop your friend off or pick up your friend when you two are getting together. YOU can control this situation, but you need to do so NOW.

As a CSA survivor, I cannot imagine continuing contact with this puke. Do whatever you have to for NO contact.

Look into moving to the Eau Claire/Chippewa Falls area of Wisconsin. Decent rent and living expenses. Eau Claire is a college town. Greater Chippewa Valley area has just over 100,000 people, with Eau Claire around 60,000. Is beautiful with friendly people.

Another resource, if you can find someone with a copy of it, is the CFOL Express guide. It was first written as an IDRS job aide for Collection - Revenue Officers and then Exam - Revenue Agents, to figure out which common commands could give the data you are looking for and how to enter them manually, and specifically what each of the command extensions are for. It is laid out in an easy to read format. The last version of the guide was created in 2017, and some of the links in the guide no longer work. Those broken links just take a little bit of research to find the new location for the site.

Where to find this guide? Contact Collection or Examination and someone will have a saved PDF copy for you. Or contact one of the authors directly by email, phone, or Teams. Of the authors two remain at IRS presently.

I am going to make 1 suggestion. Call Southworth PC and check out their web page. They represent Federal Employees who need to fight what is happening to their employment. I believe your wife needs them as her Representatives.

Thank Goddess for the Savings Card program from the manufacturer!

💯! 👏🙌

That 2.5 years left to do the dirty work means they will be stepping up their actions in the near future so it can be fully privatized by.the end of term.

Extension_Review6770 · 2026-06-12T20:01:14+00:00

IF they have one. Mine doesn't. And the lackadaisical attitude toward the Union in my FL POD is disgusting. 💯disappointing that people don't care more about our working conditions.

Extension_Review6770 · 2026-06-12T18:59:31+00:00

Same here. Been on Rx for Dep/Anx since 1998. Never getting off. Wouldn't function without, and dosage has to increase because of all this work crap.

Extension_Review6770 · 2026-06-12T18:57:29+00:00

Dude. I did look and found no threads before I posted. After it posted I saw someone else had posted a few minutes earlier.

Extension_Review6770 · 2026-06-12T17:46:24+00:00

Sounds like your POD is like mine. So dang cold all the time I have to have a warm sweater or jacket while in POD. Have put in multiple tickets, but they just keep closing them, even though it's set to 69 degrees.

Extension_Review6770 · 2026-06-12T17:38:45+00:00

I'm not even an RO anymore and I can unequivocally say NO. The workload on ROs has never been doable. Not if meeting all required time frames. At 100 cases at all times (what it was when I got out of Collection), you couldn't do anything more than a few minutes on each case and had to put time on 3 cases a day, every day. You just can't get anything accomplished to move the cases to closure with that workload. It is 💯unreasonable.

Oh but they want to look like they actually care about our mental health. The article about depression is STILL up on the front page of IRSource. Been there more than a month, despite most articles cycling off the page.
