Insurance time limit

0

Q: The Office of Personnel Management Web site states, “You only have 31 days from the date of your appointment to an eligible position to elect optional insurance.” I would like to know if that applies when you are moved to a new position with a new job identifier due to re-organization?

A: No, it doesn’t. The 31-day window only applies to a new employee of the federal government.
