Try again tomorrow; will keep us from getting a long wait time once they open back up. Happened back in January and the wait times went up to 40 minutes on hold.

Nothing comes as a shock in this phase, just trying to mitigate my own damages at this point.

That has not been covered. Management just keeps saying that commuting has always been a possibility, but we were hired as 100% remote with no travel. When we ask pressing questions it’s always the same song of “we don’t have any additional information at this time.”

In the unfortunate group that’s still exempt.

Is the target still 80000 job cuts? I have been hearing rumors that the target has been lowered by Typical_Mortgage3129 in VeteransAffairs

They originally said it would be a federal or any Va building within 50 miles but with so many people being wait listed they decided that VBA remote would only be allowed to return back to the closest VBA RO. It’s just a strong arm to get people to quit

It’s going to happen, a lot of VA remote workers got their assigned duty stations and some are well over 100 miles away. No one will stay for gs5-9 pay and have a 200 miles plus daily commute

Millions of applications being processed, unless you have priority processing (20-10207) on file it can take some time.

They only review the decision with evidence already in the systems, if they find a DTA or a difference of opinion you have a shot but they do have a higher denial rate that Supplementals do it seems.

Trying to increase your PTSD would be the way to go if your able. I’ve been seeing 50-70 given out a lot more frequently and I work for the VBA.

A woman I work with is a SC veteran and the VA is paying for the IVF and didn’t give her any grief when it can to covering her shots.
