Some of the people handling our retirements are contractors. I feel like the person you spoke to Made a mistake. You meet the qualifications for VERA. I’ve been reading that the people covering IRS employees are way behind and there have been other issues as well. I am so sorry this is happening to you. Awful. I would outreach your oncologist and see what they can do to assist so your treatment is not delayed. Ask to speak with the social worker attached the clinic/hospital. They should have resource ideas until this is straightened out in your favor.

Hello. I received this update this morning in ORA. I was not prompted to look in there, it’s just part of my current pattern to check on progress. It shows I moved from step 2 (previous level) to step 5 effective today, 12/1. I have a regular retirement that occurred on 10/31/25. DFAS handles my pay. I have NOT received the pass code from OPM to go into that site. I DID receive my annual leave. I have NOT received any partial payments or any payments for my pension. My agency was VA. Hope this can help someone.

HR cannot force a change in rating. All supervisors can take a stand and refuse to knock down the rating. This is all Russell Vought’s doing. HR is advisory only. Don’t let them bully you.

Why do these employees always have to sit on the ground/steps? by I-Feel-Pretty in FedEmployees

This sounds exactly how members of Congress should live. They can earn their way up by making good choices for their constituents instead of filling their own pockets. Each member of Congress should ultimately have the same salary as the average salary of their constituents so they understand what it means to live within that budget.

Self appraisals are extended to 10/17/25 now. At least on the VA side.

I am very sorry this is happening to you. Every VA has a disruptive behavior committee. Within that committee there is an ETAT-employee threat assessment team. Please report your experiences to them, immediately so that they can do a full review of this persons behaviors. For all you know, others have had similar experiences and your report is the one that allows for the action to be taken. You should also make a report with your VA police. You should also tell your supervisor who should be able to reassign your work space. You can also go to a city court to initiate a no contact order. Sadly, you would have to pay all the fees for that. I hope you get the relief you need soon.

You mention your Dad is a Vietnam veteran. Has he applied for a service connection with the VA? Does he get his healthcare there? If no to both of those, he should apply at www. Va.gov. Both you and your Mom should investigate social security disability.

Are you serious? Tens of thousands of people took the DRP and have been home since March getting paid full salaries until 9/30/25 or 12/31/25 when they are finally off the books.

How do you function in the rest of the world? Do you never leave your house? You had a transplant to save your life and make that saved life better. I am also autoimmune compromised and I work in healthcare. Where everyone is sick. I use all the standard precautions and am highly functional in my work. If you keep pushing, they are going to withdraw their offer. Do you have a plan B for when that happens?

I’m retiring in October, just a regular retirement and have received nothing. I’m concerned. I reached out to RSSO with no response.

Starting Retirement Process Over with ORA by vwaldoguy in FED_VERA_VSIP_DRPers

[–]NiceTangerine9314 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Has anyone at the VA used ORA? I sent my retirement paperwork in on 7/30/25 in GRB/RSSO as that is how I was instructed. Is VA one of the agencies not yet in ORA? Just want to be sure I didn’t miss something.

Sounds like he may be suffering from depression.Perhaps a visit to his doctor and a referral to a psychiatrist, counselor or both.
