r/FEDDISABILITY

My package is ready. Agency closed my reassignment search and determined that no jobs were found.
I have been pushing myself to work partially and taking leave without pay partially.

I am thinking to stop working once I have CSA number. The reason is to be able to pay my health insurance.
Do we have anyone was working till approval? I have no annual leave, no sick leave. What are my options?

Thank you.

I've had a reasonable accommodation for telework for a few years now that is currently still being honored and active. However, my original condition has worsened significantly and new conditions have arisen, so the RA is no longer enough.

I recently had a consultation with a law firm and while they ultimately thought I had a case they were willing to take, they expressed that my RA status might complicate a disability claim, because as far as the agency knows officially, I was successfully accommodated. And for FERS Disability they need to certify the opposite--that they cannot accommodate. They also have to have attempted and failed to reassign you, something that also has not happened.

Has anyone gotten FERS disability while on an existing reasonable accommodation? Or do these claims really only become possible as a failure outcome from the RA "interactive process"? In which case I would need to re-engage the RA process in some way first? I don't think I actually can be accommodated in a way that would be compatible with my job duties--so would requesting a very likely incompatible accommodation (like "no lifting" when the job very obviously requires lifting) be the kind of thing that needs to happen as a pre-requisite?

I've (28F) been fighting for my telework RA since RTO happened. They keep denying it. I have an active EEOC case for it, currently in discovery.

I am almost out of FMLA and leave. This is no longer sustainable.

I can work if I can telework, but agency (IRS) is refusing. I was on a full time telework RA for two years prior to RTO. So I already had the history.

At what point do I ask my management to fill out their section?

This is the last thing I wanted to do. I want to work. But they've backed me into a corner 😔

Any advice please thank you.

Schedule P/C (formerly Schedule F) was issued in a final rule in February, and the only piece left to put it in effect is an executive order designating which positions move to the new schedule. That order could seemingly drop any day now, immediately designating an unknown number of employees as at-will and able to be let go without cause or due process.

Should those of us seeking FDR be worried if we're in the cross hairs of Schedule F? If an employee gets moved to Schedule F, could that limit options to pursue FDR? What if an employee is actually terminated under Schedule F with potentially no official cause or a poorly substantiated cause?

I kind of feel like I'm in a race against time with this to build my medical record and put in my documents before I get rescheduled.
