Q. I have been reassigned to a position in Atlanta from Albuquerque, N.M. This move is permanent. Do I need a SF 52 prepared to change my duty station and locality pay? Do I need a SF 52 to change my taxes and health insurance? This position is considered virtual.
A. All personnel actions must be documented with a Standard Form 52. It will record where you are now, your new duty station and the rate of pay at each. There is no place on the SF 52 to record changes in taxes or health insurance. When your official personnel folder is transferred to your new duty station, whatever you have already designated as your tax deductions and FEHB plan coverage will continue as is. Any change in your tax deductions will have to be made through your new payroll office. Your FEHB enrollment can be changed during the open season, if you want to do that.
