[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So if I am eligible to retire and I get fired for whatever, I just retire right.  I do not lose my pension?[/quote]

Correct[/quote]

But say you are 52 with 25 years and got RIFd, you would still get early retirement, to include healthcare as you would qualify for VSIP. But if they say you are being fired because they do not think you meet the administration priorities, then does that mean you are fired for cause and is that why it says not VSIP eligible? An I reading that right?[/quote]
I thought that the VERA/VSIP discussion in the reg preamble related only to the proposal that folks whose jobs are being reclassified as "Policy/Career" [Schedule F] be given the option to VERA or be offered a VSIP.  OPM declared no, they don't want to incentivize reclassified folks to leave.

This was the most disappointing bit in the whole thing. Wasn't eligible for VERA last year so was really hoping I'd get VERA through reclassification. I guess resigning is what I need to do now. Too bad.[/quote]

+1! Can't believe I missed VERA by 6 months!!! Why couldn't my parents have had me sooner?? [/quote]
