[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i'm not going to lie that's its hard for me that I'm missing this by four months. so much money and time off I can't save.[/quote]

I'm sorry PP. Also missing by less than a year and trying not to go crazy calculating what i could do if I didn't have to budget for LWOP (e.g. half the closing costs on a house, which we decided not to buy yet in part because of the pregnancy). I am glad this policy is passing but I think we don't have to act unreservedly happy about the somewhat arbitrary and sudden timing.

Just try not to think about it too much.  I rejoined the feds immediately after the switch to FERS-FRAE and missed the vesting at the old rate by like 6 months.  Now I forever have to pay 3% more than everyone else at my agency, and nobody in HR or my bosses realize this when it comes to my total comp/promotion/bonuses, because my department very very rarely hires, and basically never hires people without a ton of previous fed experience.
