Q. I have recently retired under the Voluntary Separation Incentive Pay program. I know that if I accept a job with a government agency, direct supporting, or a personal services contractor, Obama wants his money back. Can you please tell me how I can find out if the company that wants me to work for them (no benefits, part time) fits into either one of these categories? This company is not on a government installation, but it does supply the government with its products. I would be working for a company that is contracted to this company for security.

Q. Where do I find about rehiring with the Postal Service after having already retired from there? Is it even legal to rehire as, let’s say, a casual carrier?
Q. Overview: I began in the Air Force Non-Appropriated Fund in 1996, enrolled in NAF retirement plan in 2000, ported to GS in 2005 with deferral of my NAF retirement (calculated at 5.27 yrs) and entered FERS. My current GS position will be abolished in 2014 (at nine years FERS). I have the potential of porting into a NAF position. I wish I had just retained NAF retirement, but lack of research and misguided human resources recommendations led me to where I am with a split retirement outlook. Given my FERS time will total only nine years at abolishment, if I move…
Q. I am a 25-year federal employee hired under CSRS in 1979. I had a break in service in 1981 and, when I returned to the federal government in 1983, I was told because my break in service was more than 12 months, I was converted over to CSRS Offset. Without any discussion or choice. Can I challenge this conversion? How will my sick leave (900 hours) be handled under the Offset when I am eligible?
Q. If I voluntarily separate and then am rehired at a later date, is my prior sick leave reinstated?
Q. About two years after I retired, I was asked to come back to work on a special project. I came back on contract. It worked great and was certainly less expensive than it would have been if I had been rehired. Another project has come up, which I am willing to do, but they are trying to force me to come back as a returning annuitant, which I will not do. What is the determining factor between contract and rehire?
Q. I am a retired pure CSRS employee working part time as a rehired annuitant with no annuity offset. I am coming to the end of my third year. When I first began working, HR was not taking out FICA. Two years ago, HR said it had been told at some payroll class that it should be taking out FICA, so it started doing so. About 12 months later, HR sent a demand letter for the FICA it had failed to collect in the beginning. I filled an appeal immediately and have heard nothing. Three of us here are in…
Q. I am 55 with 36 years of federal employment, including two one-year breaks in service. The last break was in 1985. I withdrew the funds I had paid into CSRS each time I broke service and have repaid a minimal amount of it. I thought I would be one of those people who worked forever; however, I have a progressively degenerative medical condition and likely will not be able to work more than another year at the most. I am totally ignorant about retirement and to what benefits I am entitled. For example, will my pension benefits be reduced…
Q. What we here in Japan would like to know is when furlough notices kick in May 28 to June 5 and furloughs tentatively to begin July 8, what’s going happen to term/temp employees and more specifically re-employed annuitants?
Q. I am a FERS retiree on a discontinued service retirement/involuntary because my agency was closed in 2012. I have applied and will interview for a permanent part-time economic assistant position with the Department of Labor. I’m trying to determine: 1) Will I remain retired if I get and take this permanent part-time position? 2) Can I receive my full annuity and this part-time salary, or is my salary reduced? 3) If my salary is reduced, how do I calculate the reduction? 4) What other benefits are there of taking a part-time position in my case? For example, how much…
