Permanent Appointment for Reemployed Annuitants
Reemployed Annuitants
Generally speaking, the treatment of a retiree's annuity and pay upon reemployment in the Federal
Government depends upon whether he or she retired on the basis of a regular, involuntary, or
disability retirement. Potential benefits that may be earned as a result of the reemployment
service depend primarily on the length of such service.
Some details on Reemployed Annuitants may be found in a PDF file at OPM's Web Site by clicking
here.
If you have questions regarding how this can affect you, feel free to post the quesitons here.
Or perhaps you have been through this process before and can offer some helpful suggestions...please
share.

Are reemployed annuitants eligible to compete for permanent positions in the Dept. of the Army and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers if the job posting allow reinstatement candidates to apply (and the RA meets all of the other eligibility requirements)?

Yes. I just did exactly that (retired from DA, job is with DA - same GS category, one grade lower than that from which I retired), and my application was referred and am now waiting to see if there will be an interview. The application gives explicit qualifications for 'reinstatement' candidates. Meet them and you're back in the competitive pool.

I am not a staffer, but thought that the following may be interesting to annuitants looking at returning to Federal employment. CDC information on reemployed annuitants - https://jobs.cdc.gov/wor...eemployed-annuitant.htmlQuote:Note: Regardless of the appointment authority used or the longevity of the position, all reemployed annuitants serve at the will of the appointing authority, i.e., they may be released at any time based on the management needs of the organization. Quote:A reemployed annuitant serves at the will of the agency regardless of the type or length of appointment to which they are appointed. This means that a reemployed annuitant’s appointment may be terminated at any time without regard to reduction-in-force or adverse action procedures. However, if there is a need for the agency to conduct a formal reduction-in-force (RIF) and the agency does not separate reemployed annuitants before the RIF effective date, the reemployed annuitant competes in the RIF on the same basis as other employees holding the same type of appointment. Here is the DOD policy on the Employment of Federal Civilian Annuitants in the Department of Defense, which also indicates that employment of annuitants is at will. https://www.esd.whs.mil/.../140025/1400.25-V300.pdfEdited by user Wednesday, November 3, 2021 11:11:02 AM(UTC)

The excuse of, "I read it on FederalSoup..." won't work. Please do your due diligence. |

This the DOD Regulation concerning re-employed annuitants: https://www.esd.whs.mil/.../140025/1400.25-V300.pdfThis is OPM regulation concerning "re-instatement eligible" applicants: https://www.opm.gov/poli...formation/reinstatement/This is USACE's Re-employed Annuitant Cadre regulation page: https://www.usace.army.m...nt-Cadre/RAC-Employment/The eligibilities are not the same. The sticking point is the annuity - I've seen positions where annuities were permitted, and ones where it needed to be suspended. "Re-instatement eligible" positions do not fall under the provisions affecting "re-employed annuitants".
