[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with the poster who described the process well. I also had health insurance through the Federal Government while using some LWOP for maternity leave purposes and it did not impact anything; I just paid the same rates I always paid for the insurance that covered myself and my family. Ditto for the two years I was working part time. I know this isn't an issue for the OP, but in case others are wondering about this, I wanted to put it out there.[/quote]

I'm not sure this is correct.  I work 80% and pay quite a bit more for my health insurance due to being part-time.[/quote]

to the 80% poster, are your tour hours per pay period set at 64?

My tours hours are set at 40 hours/pay period. I pay 50% of the premium for health insurance. If your tour hours are set as more than 64, then you are considered full-time so the govt's portion of the premium is not prorated as it is for "officially" part-time (I.e. 64 hours or less scheduled tour hours). So if you are scheduled for 80 tour hours but always use LWOP to effectively work less/part-time, your health insurance premiums won't get prorated.

After OP's original question last(?) week, I was digging around on opm.gov and in the CFR, and I recall reading that part-time is defined as 32 hours or less....and then there is full-time (80 hours). That seems to go along with what OP's HR dept us telling her.  But it sounds like sone agencies ARE allowing staff to have tour hours set between 64-80?? [/quote]
