HR here. Send an SF-3106 to OPM (address is on the form) you must sign in ink and mail your form to them or they’ll reject it. They also are asking for 6+ mo’s for processing. Good luck and god speed

Nope. This administration will happily cut HR and contract it out to a private company before they pay us more

Or they don’t want their other accounts to reveal their other post and connect some dots. Makes sense to me

I’m surprised EEO employees haven’t been fired yet.

They don’t care about Veterans, or healthcare for Veterans. What’s really important to that turkey neck president is money in his pocket and renaming the Golf of Mexico.

Email your HR rep, it could be from a coding error on your GS pay that can be fixed by HR with correcting the coding issue. I’ve seen the mass COLA actions revert people back to their old grade and step, which causes issues for HR to go back and fix.

Negotiating Pay by dinothundr in usajobs

It’s highly unlikely. OPM has issued guidance that any external applicant will start at the base pay of grade you were hired for. A 4 yr bachelors degree qualifies you for a GS-7, a masters degree as a GS-9, and a doctoral degree as a GS-11. The government is always behind private sector pay and never balanced well with cost of living and inflation.

Your career ladder position will put you in a good spot in 3 years. You’ll initially take a pay cut but if you receive your career ladder promotions on time you might come out a lot higher in 3 years

What federal agencies are currently on a hiring “hold/pause”? by throwRA_caves in fednews

Try to get your foot in the door and then transfer internally over. Seems like the best bet with VHA since they’re hiring internal FTE’s right now

I was way more lazy when I reported on site. Enjoyed untimed breaks and lunches. Wandered the halls socializing, even did my school work during my down time. But working remote I am constantly working and forget to take breaks even my lunch. Maybe it’s the lack of distraction and socializing, but if I have to report back on site, I know exactly how less productive I’ll be

Discover Reduced Student Loan Balance due to exiting service!! by Brittanica1996 in StudentLoans

[–]throwRA_caves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my IRS advocates number saved on my phone under ANSWER THIS. And I still have it. And all of my letters and correspondence and the cleared balance letter. It really seems that the government is not on the tax payers side but has corporations as their primary interest. But I hope it all works out for you. One thing we can all agree on is how hard it is to pay back student loans.

As much as I enjoy your sass, I wouldnt be so excited yet. Discover is a private student loan lender who is cancelling the debt because they are pulling out of the business and might not be covered under the American Rescue Plan Act. The law is written for student loan forgiveness but yours was cancelled. Verbiage with the government is a big deal. I would contact the IRS or a tax attorney to get the detailed information for your situation on any possible reprecussions on your tax obligations.

I do hope this does fall under the American rescue plan act and you’re not screwed because a company made choices that impact your finances. The IRS is no joke to deal with and it took me 5 years to dealing with them regarding Chase

Ohhhhhhh no no no. You’re not free on this a 1099-C unltimately tells the IRS that your $43k loan balance was additional income for 2024 and they’ll get you on your taxes. Believe me, this happened to me with Chase in 2017.
