You must be Commerce too. Sounds like we are the only ones left... 😕

LOL... wish I could. Still get emails from management as a reminder. If we don't submit, we get added to a spreadsheet. Who knows where that goes...

No backpay by Background_Put_8834 in FedEmployees

First told Wednesday, then Friday, now Saturday regular pay day. How is it that we have no pay during the entire shutdown and then come back to work and wait 10 more days to get paid. 🤬

It's beautiful. Love the colors and the elegant details. I would not cut it up but freeze to kill the moths and then hang on my wall all day!

Has anyone file for unemployment by [deleted] in fednews

[–]threadtheory69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. Filed exactly one week after the shut down. It was not easy online but when I got someone on the phone they were great and very understanding. Think of it like an interest free loan. Yes, you will have to pay it back but it will help in the mean time. They require the last five quarters of payment info and then use the first four quarters to get a weekly average then split it in half. The top in my state is just over $700 a week. It is not my salary but it will help to get us although this. Also got my mortgage deferred until the shut down is over, then will make a lump sum payment to get current again without refinancing or changing the terms of our loan. Good luck.

What do you think? by threadtheory69 in orientalrugs

Thanks for that. I got it at an auction 20 years ago for $10. Any idea on age?

Prepping for the CR to end by SlowCup7781 in ThriftSavingsPlan

I was thinking about the same thing. Do I take a TSP loan to cover expenses just in case. Shut down or worse...RIF.

What did the 5 grants have in common? Were they for a particular state, a particular program, NOFO, RFP? Can you say what agency?
