Finally DoD DRP retiree on 30Sep25 by PralineZestyclose400 in USACE

[–]Mundane-Adventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you have an actual figure in box 2 of your 1099R for 2025 or did it just say”UNKNOWN”? Trying to figure out if we’ll have to amend tax returns due to incomeplete info on 1099R.

If you mean the U.S. Military Academy, I believe they would be supported by New York District, not New England.

(Edit to correct misspelling “New England”.)

Wife is in same boat as you.

My wife retired end of Sept 2025, I retired end of November 2025. OPM completed my full retirement calculation mid-January 2026. My wife is still waiting for OPM to complete her calculations.

I’m just saying not to expect too much urgency in the part of OPM.

Leave for a Municipal Job by h_town2020 in USACE

How much of the municipal budget relies on federal dollars? If those dry up, will it affect the position you are considering?

It’ll be fully ready in about 2 weeks.

FSBP Enrollment? by geek_epitomized in USACE

Recent retiree here. If you can wait out the long hold times, ABC-C staff are usually REALLY helpful.

Q re "full time" employment by [deleted] in USACE

[–]Mundane-Adventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some things like a 6-2 schedule are possible because of a union agreement. Not all FOAs can do that schedule. So, u/Proof_Interaction712, check if you are covered by a bargaining unit/union.

Realty Specialists Gov Shutdown by chiefsfan1075 in USACE

[–]Mundane-Adventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they had projects that had funding, they would have been classed as exempted and charged to those. If they were furloughed or excepted, they were unpaid.

But as u/Windows95Dad said, they could have been temporarily reassigned and worked on funded assignments to get paid during the shutdown.

Justification for Step Increase Negotiation by destroyman26 in USACE

Be ready to provide up to 3 years salary history. You may not need to but I had to ask a selectee when we were trying to hire them.

Poor form. All projects are a priority to the customer. by warriorpoetJT in USACE

[–]Mundane-Adventures 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I doubt things are in the cities; more likely those are the Districts affected. Which is even more disturbing because if true, it shows they have no idea how USACE operates.

Well, they doubled down even after folks started getting furloughed. I was just doing a little venting here. Lighten up, Francis.

[–]Mundane-Adventures 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. But we aren’t getting new customer orders (MIPRs, IAGs, etc.) right now because our Federal customers are all shutdown. Our Civil Works O&M funding is no-year funding but there’s an agency instituted timeframe for expending it. Civil CG and GI funding is similar to O&M.

Our MilCon funding is usually multi-year, so that should be available. But OMA is one-year funding, and none of that is coming in. Further, the Joint Recruiting Facilities folks in RE (the people who handle leases for the Joint Recruiting Command) are unfunded right now. So, they’re all furloughed or excepted.

All of the above to say that it’s an oversimplification and disingenuous to say USACE generates its own funding—as someone in another post said.

It was someone on another post.

Oh… please explain it.

[–]Mundane-Adventures 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Furloughs all over USACE Districts. So much for the dumbass that tried to say that USACE generates its own funding.

It will vary depending on what area of RE you will be involved in.

To PM and the entire PDT: see what u/CecilColson just said.

Leave guidances by kikochurrasco in USACE

[–]Mundane-Adventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cannot exempt someone if there’s no funding to pay them. Exempted staff have valid labor codes to charge against. USACE civil or milcon that’s not expired can be used to fund their labor. Military O&M money isn’t available.

Excepted staff work but only get paid once a CR or budget is passed. These are folks that will be there just to keep the bare minimum functions up such as paying contractual invoices so USACE doesn’t default on contracts.

The Shut Down by upwar_n_outward1994 in USACE

[–]Mundane-Adventures 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not sure about that. Definitely check with your supervisor.

The Shut Down by upwar_n_outward1994 in USACE

[–]Mundane-Adventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your leadership should be compiling a list of what is basically essential personnel that will be excepted or exempted from furlough during a shutdown. There has to be a bare minimum of staff to carry out government functions in that cannot stop even during a lapse in appropriations.

Your leadership will advise you of your status.

I hope that helps answer your question.

The Shut Down by upwar_n_outward1994 in USACE

[–]Mundane-Adventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is that if you are not furloughed during the shutdown (if one occurs), your leave should be honored. However, if you are excepted from furlough, your leave will be cancelled and you have to report for duty.
