[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re eligible for VERA, that has nothing to do with FORK.

Here is the OPM VERA page:

Here is the RIF page:

Michelle Singletary’s take on FORK: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/federal-workers-should-tell-trump-no-deal-on-resignation-offer/ar-AA1y8OQI?ocid=TobArticle[/quote]

But DH's agency is saying VERA was approved for their agency but is contingent on taking fork.  They are told VERA is only an option for fork.  And we have to decide by tomorrow.  [/quote]

Because Elmo knows the Fork numbers are low and has a lot riding on this working. If VERA was on the table, that should have been made clear with plenty of time to consult HR, go over annuity amounts, etc. VERA is a statutory scheme that must run a certain way. If his office has VERA authority, it will still be there Friday. If they don’t, your DH has zzero recourse once he signs what if the worst contract I have ever seen.

It is always a bad sign when someone puts a lot of pressure on you to make a life altering decision on a short and artificial deadline. Your DH will regret acting out of fear on this one.  The contract does not promise VERA. And as PP pointed out, resigning and retiring are very different things it could make him VERA ineligible.

Here’s another thing: Elmo and Trump lie and stiff their workers. It’s their thing. [/quote]
