[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][url][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are concerned about being RIF'd then I would just wait.  If that happens you'd go out as a DSR- discontinued service retirement.  My understanding is the benefits aren't much (or at all) different than VERA.

Maybe though you are concerned your position would be turned into Schedule F and you would just point blank be fired?[/quote]

This is what my DH is doing. If he’s RIF’ed, he’ll go the DSR route. [/quote]

How do you know you won’t be Schedule F?[/quote]

Is this administration honoring DSR?  Have any of the feds fired so far getting DSR?
[/quote]

It’s like exiting a building. You have to pick a door. You can go out door A or B. If you meet the requirements of DSR, you go out door B. If you meet other requirements, you go out door A. I don’t know how much “honoring” plays into it.[/quote]

In ordinary times I think it would be pro forma, but now there’s a lack of certainty, and OP’s SES status may play into that as well. Not SES but I took VERA - my area looks like there is still hiring going on so I’m hoping something works out but no guarantees especially if the economy gets worse. You really have to think about your own professional area, resume and network weighed against your finances. We paid off mortgage, kids college money is set, etc… so felt more secure about it.[/quote]
