Reinstatement eligibility may be extended by certain activities that occur during the three-year period after separation from your last career or career-conditional appointment. Examples of these activities are:. Reinstatement eligibility does not guarantee you a job offer. Hiring agencies have the discretion to determine the sources of applicants they will consider. A person who holds a position in the executive branch may not be denied hiring, retention or any other advantage of employment because of membership or service in the uniformed services.
See Reinstatement. If you are a career or career-conditional competitive service employee who left the government through disability retirement, your annuity may be terminated because you were found medically recovered or because your earnings exceeded established limitations. In addition, you are eligible for selection priority through the Interagency Career Transition Assistance Plan ICTAP for jobs in agencies other than your former agency in the commuting area you were in when you separated.
The notification of annuity termination is your proof of eligibility for the ICTAP and must be submitted with all job applications. Status applicants include individuals who are eligible for reinstatement. This is not the case. If the highest grade that you last held in your federal job was a GS-9 grade you can only be rehired into a GS-9 position or lower grade non-competitively. You can't be hired non-competitively into a higher graded position. The only way for a reinstatement eligible to be hired into a hired graded position is to bid competitively through an open job announcement.
If you meet the reinstatement eligibility requirements contact agencies in your area to determine if job vacancies exist. If an agency knows that a fully qualified reinstatement eligible applicant is available, and they meet the requirements for reinstatement, the agency has the ability to hire that person.
Agencies like having this option for several reasons. First, they are getting a trained and qualified employee.
Secondly they don't have to advertise the vacancy thereby saving considerable time, sometimes months including personnel action processing, to get the job filled. To establish your reinstatement eligibility, you must provide a copy of your most recent SF 50, Notification of Personnel Action , showing tenure group 1 or 2, along with your application.
You may obtain a copy of your personnel records from your former agency if you recently separated. The Federal Records Center has been established as a depository for official personnel folders of persons no longer in the Federal service. Federal agencies, generally, transfer employment records to the Federal Records Center thirty days after the employee has been separated from Federal service.
Subject to part of this chapter and paragraph b of this section, an agency may appoint by reinstatement to a competitive service position a person who previously was employed under career or career-conditional appointment or equivalent. There is no time limit on the reinstatement eligibility of a preference eligible or a person who completed the service requirement for career tenure.
Except as provided in paragraph c of this section, an agency may reinstate a nonpreference eligible who has not completed the service requirement for career tenure only within 3 years following the date of separation.
