Thought I did decently well only to find out I got a 4.24. Should’ve went into greater detail. Didn’t practice much.

For those who asked if there would be another hiring announcement for USPIS. New information just dropped.

Just inquiring to see how many people have got FJO or preference sheets for this announcement? Currently awaiting interim clearance and to get sent my preference sheet. Just want to see where everyone is at so far.

Thank y’all and God speed!

Welcome to r/1811's weekly question thread.

With the growth of the sub, there's been an uptick in questions that are not easily answered, like "am I competitive?", "do I qualify?", "what are my chances?", "what agency/academy/degree/fed tac team is best?".

There has also been a rise in repetitive questions like "do I have to move for [agency]?", "What's the Wi-Fi at FLETC like?", "What's FLETC like?"

I'm looking to see if anyone has firsthand experience with OPM disability retirement and subsequently returning to federal employment.

For context, I was involuntarily removed from a GS-13 position due to a medical condition that prevented me from performing the essential duties of my position (Flying). I subsequently applied for FERS disability retirement.

I've recently accepted an offer for a GS-9 1811 position with another federal agency and will be starting soon.

I understand there are rules regarding reemployment in federal service, including the 80% earnings limitation and the potential termination of disability retirement benefits.

My questions are:

1. Has anyone returned to federal service at a lower grade after being approved for OPM disability retirement?
2. Does accepting another federal position automatically terminate your disability annuity, regardless of whether your new salary is below the 80% earnings threshold?
3. If your disability retirement application is still pending when you return to federal service, how does that affect the approval process or any retroactive payments?
4. If your annuity is terminated due to federal reemployment, what happens if you subsequently leave that position?

I'm particularly interested in hearing from anyone who has personally gone through this process rather than just general interpretations of OPM regulations.

Thanks in advance for any insight!
