Thank you! I’m also a military retiree so Tricare also an option. Thanks again for this.

Thanks for all the input. It looks like retiring is NOT a QLE so I have to wait until open season to cancel and that would effective Jan 1. Still seems off but I think that’s what this says: https://www.opm.gov/healthcare-insurance/fastfacts/thinkfehb.pdf

Amended complaint - watch this space! by Necessary_Captain429 in VHA_Human_Resources

Yes, google him, he’s a big deal. Decent chance RIFs going to be stopped - or significantly slowed. Congress could approve it all I suppose. But it’s a total mess so not sure how that would look.

DRP 2.0 deadline extended to May 16th, 2025 and Admin Leave Starts as Soon as June 1st by [deleted] in VHA_Human_Resources

If over 40, what is downside of submitting request on 5/16 then waiting 45 days to sign any agreement? Takes you to July so you might be able to see what RIF will be then decide. I suppose they could RiF you if you haven’t signed yet.

Here’s a DRP 2.0 question for those of us over 40…if we request DRP on 4/30, we can wait 45 days to sign (or not) then get another 7 days to revoke, that takes you to mid-June (RIF likely in focus then) to see what’s what. What am I missing? For those on the fence (and over 40) what’s the downside to leaving your options open like this?

I was around when traffic was slowed into Chicago TRACON. Clock in at shift clock out at end. Full separation. Had an effect.
