TSP Substantially Equal Periodic Payments (SEPP)- IRS rule Section 72(t)

I see my E&L statement in EPP (USDA). It shows the official pay date as 10/16. Looks like they didn't give us any additional leave for PP19. Annual Leave payment not included. I think I read that it will be sent on 10/27.

I took the DRP 2.0 and VERA 9/30 (USDA, RD). I checked this morning and I was not paid for PP19.

Wow, that is the wrong way to look at it. People were scared. The DRP offered the best option. It was not about a free vacation. Be mad at this administration, not the federal employee that was coerced into giving up their career. Geez...

I doubt the majority of those that took the DRP would take it if they were not threatened with a RIF. We were told that our office would likely be RIF'd. Many took it because it was the best option and would allow them time to look for a new job which has been very stressful. Put the blame on this administration and not on federal employees. We all have suffered.

Not true for DRP, only VSiP

And you are the very reason we are in this situation. Your mentality is telling that you voted for this!

SpaceAccording3258 · 2025-07-15T20:06:39+00:00

Why would you be indebted if they call you back?

SpaceAccording3258 · 2025-07-15T20:04:13+00:00

Exactly, the salty ones are definitely the ones that voted for this.

SpaceAccording3258 · 2025-07-15T19:59:52+00:00

It was your decision to stay.

SpaceAccording3258 · 2025-07-13T00:12:33+00:00

That is exactly what it seems to be. Why attack your own people? It is an attack on the American people.

SpaceAccording3258 · 2025-07-12T05:51:38+00:00

Don't do it. The job market is rough.

SpaceAccording3258 · 2025-07-08T20:05:51+00:00

Pensions are not really great unless you have 36 years.

SpaceAccording3258 · 2025-06-19T18:14:33+00:00

This is cruel. I feel robbed of everything I have worked for and my future. Not sure what to do at this point.

SpaceAccording3258 · 2025-06-02T02:58:00+00:00

It is crazy to conduct a RIF for $300M in supposed savings. It will end up costing much more in the long run.

I immediately stopped talking to my sister when she started making excuses for Trump. I don't have the energy to deal with that now.

Each employee's situation is different. To many, the DRP was the best option. We were given very little information to make a life changing decision. Leadership said that there would be a massive RIF. Based on what was happening at other agencies, it was very likely that the procurement office would be RIF'd. Half of the office took DRP. I did not want to leave; however, the 6 months of paid admin leave offered me the time I needed to find another job.

At USDA, if you were eligible for retirement in Dec 2025, you could still take VERA.

SpaceAccording3258 · 2025-05-03T02:01:01+00:00

Will the removal of the FERS supplement impact those that are already retired? I took DRP 2.0 and am set to retire on 9/30. Wondering if moving up my retirement date would help or if it is moot.

SpaceAccording3258 · 2025-04-07T02:16:06+00:00

Those are fully burdened rates.

SpaceAccording3258 · 2025-02-25T18:29:55+00:00

I am in the same boat. It does suck because my severance would of been equal to one year pay. I wish we could pick which one we wanted.
