[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait, I can be FT remote if my spouse is 100% disabled vet? Because I’d qualify for this. Could my 100% disabled spouse qualify for WFH?[/quote]

The OPM rule is only if the spouse was considered 100% disabled on or before their date of separation from the military.

I know plenty of ex-military who have been milking the system for years to get their disability ratings to 100%. It’s not for this. [/quote]

This is inflammatory, but more importantly, it is incorrect.  OPM’s exemption from RTO follows the mil spouse hiring authority definition which is not limited to spouses of service members who received a 100% rating prior to or on the date of separation.

The only specification is that the disability is service connected.[/quote]

This.  The statute states that the rating is on the date of separation but OPMs guidance has interpreted this to mean you are considered a mil spouse for hiring authorities on the effective date of the 100% rating from the VA.

It makes sense since you can’t get that rating without it being service connected.  Meaning the injuries/conditions for the disability were present at discharge/retirement even if it did not worsen or evidence until later.[/quote]
