Lateral transfer from excepted service

0

Q. I had interviewed for a competitive Civil Service position in another agency.  If I were selected, could I transfer my 25 years of excepted Civil Service (including accrued leave) into that position? Both my current and prospective positions are GS-6.

A. As a rule, the answer is yes. However, if you are offered a position in another agency, you should check with them to be sure it’s true in your case before accepting the position.
