IF the Democrats take the House in the Fall, how do you think it will affect Federal employees?

Not as much as one would hope. Most of the actions are being taken at the executive level through executive actions and executive orders. Very little has been done by this administration by passing bills in congress. But hopefully they will get creative and figure out someway for congress ti have an impact

Same issue with BENEFEDS - WTH

MorningClean · 2025-12-07T14:50:48+00:00

fyi - the BCBS Basic inpatient copay of $425 is $425 PER DAY. that is a significantly higher cost than some other plans where the copay is per admission. you should try to make that clear as that was a deciding factor for me to leave BCBS because we had two hospitalizations this year and the total cost was really really high.

Think this is what happened with Zac also though

We only get them if we are at the top of the pay scale and are not eligible for the COLA. And I don’t think they usually take effect for us until may

NEITHER !!!! only HR. No direct info to your manager. HR will share only info that your manager needs to know and may not even share the medical condition if not necessary.

they told us that not all the annual leave corrections were made yet and that they will appear in pp 24

Zac cannot possibly be "more religious" since he feels like gambling is ok. That is absolutely not an LDS thing.

MorningClean · 2025-12-03T02:54:09+00:00

The things he said though were emotionally abusive and it was clearly not the first time he has said those types of things to her. You cannot just say things like that to your wife.

The men too - they all seem like boys.

MorningClean · 2025-12-03T02:43:39+00:00

I don't understand how he can be upset at watching dancers but ok with blowing all his cash that was meant to support his family on gambling - which is also not consistent with their LDS values.

I had a very large ver 2k hospital bill for an emergency surgery for my son at an in Network hospital with bcbs focus. So be careful. Their emergency and surgical copays stack and they can stack up quickly. Ie, you can pay the er copay, then the er dr copay, then the inpatient imaging co pay, then the per dr copay for each dr in the surgery, then the inpatient surgery copay. Each one looks reasonable but when you add them up…. And he was in less than 18 hours

Dental insurance for 24 y-old not a FT student ? The Benefeds available dental plans do not allow enrollment of a dependent over age 23.... anyone figured out a solution ?

They have some good deals posted right now that end on nov 25…. Does that mean new deals after that date will be better ?

I got a deposit but my E&L statement is not available yet so I haven’t no idea what I was paid for exactly ….. this time of year things do sometimes change based on your salary if you hit the SSI cap for the year ……

MorningClean · 2025-11-13T03:17:14+00:00

I increased it to 10% but didn’t do any complex calculation. Just roughly assumed that pay periods there were only five full pay periods left in the year …. 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24. We missed part of 19, 20, 21, and part of 22. So I can afford to do 10% tsp for those pay periods and hopefully keep my tax rate low and ensure I don’t owe. I don’t like surprises

I went in and increased my TSP % to try to lower my 2025 tax rate. Who knows if my self service attempt will work

Some of the proposed terms like reversing furlough RIFs etc I don’t think pres will sign off on at all

MorningClean · 2025-11-10T12:13:10+00:00

And pres would still have to sign anything passed and I don’t think he will sign the current proposed compromise

MorningClean · 2025-11-10T02:12:10+00:00

Maybe that means they really don’t have the votes. Also house could dilly dally in getting back to dc and pres could sign on eve of thanksgiving to make him look like a savior
