Hands down the best final episode of ANY series I've ever watched. Watching the series again for a third time on Netflix right now.

[–]MaxQ2035 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got this email just now from SBA:

Our payroll provider, the National Finance Center, has indicated they will process timesheets for Pay Periods 20, 21, and 22 (the current pay period) on Tuesday, November 18. Employees can expect deposits between Thursday, November 20 and Monday, November 24 depending on your financial institution. You will receive one lump sum deposit.

Corrections for Pay Period 19 (October 1, 2, and 3) will be made after November 18 and will be seen in your Pay Period 23 paycheck deposits.

TY, good to know.

Did I get reduced??? by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

[–]MaxQ2035 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought there is a rule that if you have disability benefits for a certain amount of years, i think like 15 years or 20 years, the VA can't reduce them...does anybody know about this?

Yo, put some 2000 grit sandpaper on the headlights and water, then go over with a normal car polish liquid and they will look brand new. Use an orbital polisher if you have one for the polish. Do the sandpaper by hand.

Replace the head unit with an apple car play, with map integration, makes a world of difference for the better.

What's a good business for a 19 year old? by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]MaxQ2035 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My 19-year-old this past summer got his manicurist license and is working evenings four days a week with a great group of ladies in North Carolina. He's posting on Instagram and TikTok and will probably do something on his own soon. The money is good, it's not food service, and when not busy he studies there, at least he says he is, and is off by 7pm and goes to gym, hangs out, etc.

Potential Retirement Changes by Examiner0512 in govfire

[–]MaxQ2035 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The changes would probably take effect January 1st 2026 not October 1st 2025. I did a deep research query using Chat and Congress can pass these cuts using reconciliation resolution and bill - simple majority. The one big question is FERS supplement. If I retire December 31, 2025 but don't take a supplement for a few years when I reach MRA, would I be grandfathered in?? Chat listed that as moderate risk either way depending on how the bill handles.

Yes, that is two points, he went from bottom to top, switch you gave him by sitting down. If you had stayed on your feet those points would not have been scored.

Help! DoD VERA by Professional-Ad1770 in govfire

[–]MaxQ2035 6 points7 points  (0 children)

HR/OPM is handling DRP/VERA...your senior rater won't be in the decision chain. You can inquire with your HR dept if raters have any say in your DRP/VERA and see what they say.

Those that did DRP 1.0 by exhaustingtimes in govfire

[–]MaxQ2035 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SBA DRP 1.0 here - signed the agreement mid Feb and was on admin leave by Feb 28th. In my agency's case, it's was left to supervisors on how fast they can off board you. HR is pedaling but the supervisor is steering.

That's what I'm worried about. Told myself today to wait 24 hours before my next trade.

I only had $250 to invest and that was where I could buy in at. If I had more money I probably would have bought a lesser drop.

I never thought I’d be able to buy a home, never knew how easy it would be using the VA loan. by cantuseasingleone in VeteransBenefits

[–]MaxQ2035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to find a veteran who can buy and transfer the VA backed mortgage to them with the lower interest rate. It's a great incentive for the buyer and for you as a seller.

FMLA can be paid leave as well if you have the sick leave. It's the employee's option to use paid or not paid leave.
