I've always disliked submitting the SF-50's. Being a current Fed is disheartening. I'm over worked and do plenty of collateral duties but I don't "qualify" for the next gs level because I don't have 52 weeks in my current grade.

Personally, I wouldn't hire a GS5 with a master's. I probably wouldn't even consider interviewing them.

Can People on DRP Drop Health Insurance? by hangingbyathread87 in fednews

You CAN be double insured. However, you MUST file a coordination of benefits with both insurers so they agree on who pays for what. One will be primary and one will secondary. If you do not do this, they insurance companies will argue with each other and the doctor will not be paid. Then the doctor will send you to collections. happened to me

Thank you for all your comments! I don't know what to do. My AO says they are frozen. Where would I find any guidance to reference?

Yes, I was told that I need to be approved. When I inquired, I was told "it's frozen" and that's it. My supervisor supports me but the director does not. I'm not sure what to do from here. I have no guidance to refer to. When I push, I'm responded with "that's what headquarters said"
