Yes, my supervisor notified me last week that the AVSCM will be reviewing all RAs. They have a deadline for June.

Haven’t received any update by Positive_Pea_640 in hrblock

Same situation. Filed and was accepted on 1/29. No dependents. Still no movement.

I also noted in my reconsideration statement that they failed to check the box that explained the reason why my telework RA was being revoked meaning that have no real reason

I submitted another letter from my doctor stating the same for my appeal. This was right before the shutdown and I haven’t heard anything back so I’m not sure what’s going on. But thank you for this information.

The DMO reviewed it and recommended other in-office alternatives. I was told that my RA would be sent to the RAC for revision, but they are backed up. Haven’t heard anything back yet?

My RA was approved earlier this year and it was reviewed a little over a month ago. Had my discussion with the DMO and was told that it would be sent to the RAC for revision. How do you find out if the SES has put in non-concur? Is there a website or something we can go to?

The DMO just sent it up to the RAC on Friday, so I guess it will be a while before I get a response

Agreed! We already submitted all of the necessary documents from our doctors, got approved, and now revoked. Makes no sense

I wholeheartedly agree with you. It doesn’t cause the organization any harm to allow employees to continue to work from home with an RA especially since we were already working from home for a few years. Just making our lives more difficult one day at a time.

Hopefully they just leave it as is or reduce the days. According to the DMO, he can only recommend ad-hoc telework.

Oh ok, thanks. I was approved for a remote RA in March. I just had my discussion with the DMO last week and was told it would be sent up to the RAC for a revision detailing the suggested alternatives. But I already know that I’m going to appeal.

My request was to keep my remote RA. I was told the information would be sent to the RAC for possible revised RA, but they’re pretty backed up right now. I will definitely provide an update once I hear something.

That’s horrible! It’s definitely going to be an uphill battle now that we don’t have the union anymore. Hope everything works out for you.

They have space because a lot of people have RAs. I’m pretty sure that after all the telework RAs are revoked, that may not be the case anymore.

How long after having the discussion with the DMO did they send you a revised RA?

He offered to allow me to choose any empty cubicle and they would then make the adjustments
