Congrats Barb - Had you been notified that you were in a NWA status before the meeting?

I had a bid job thru an EEO filed because of limitations. Had that job for 14 months, turned in my CA17s and rec. Mod Duty Assignments during those 14 months, still allowed to work bid job within limitations. I was given the same job, hours and days off for my NRP job with my limitations listed on offer (the same limitations on mod.duty assign.). They said I would still have same job slot # and everything else remained the same. Maybe I was given an eight hour job because this is what I had occupied prev. to NRP interview. There were three more people interviewed after me, but don't know what happened on theirs. I was not in a NWA status and this was my first NRP job offer.

A tribute to Web Mistress Lu:

Webmistress Lu, stop banning my post:
You’re really not being much of a host.

There’s ways around everything, this I know,
so stop the games, it’s just a show

Are you in management, or just a prude?
Because not all of my posts are very crude

I see others moan, bitch and whine,
and you seem to think, that this is just fine

You cannot block me, as much as you try,
I know computers, and I’m pretty sly

When Christmas comes, I’m at my best,
and my poems will be funny, mostly in jest

I’m sure my office has called you, several times,
about my sarcastic, smart a$$ rhymes

If my posts seem to make you so, so sad,
Well, I guess, that’s just, too damn bad!
what the heck?  14368

What the heck is going to happen to the rise in premiums for our OMP health insurance? My BC/BS premium is going up 12% next year and I get no COLA being a disability retiree. This is taking 2/3 of my OMP DR annuity. I see the day when all my annuity will go for my medical insurance. This happens. In two years I will outgrow the SSD offset to my OMP annuity. Still it will be like 35% of my annuity going for health care. FERS is a real disaster for federal employees thank to Ronald Raygun. Those people wanted to &&^% us and they did. You get a stinking FERS annuity, SSA and your 201-K. People who saved in their thrift savings plan are probably down 30%. If they are FERS they can't afford to retire. They will be fighting 80 year olds for jobs bagging groceries.

john999-
Have you looked at other health plans. The APWU looks really good and so does BC/BS national basic. I know it depends on your own needs but these are the biggest value for your $$.

Does APWU coordinate benefits with medicare. I looked at BC basic and it has some major gaps. No mail order drugs. If you have a chronic condition it will get expensive if you can't do the mail order thing.

What else can you say when Insurance companies come up with schemes like:
Copay,coinsurance, deductable, pre existing, ppo, ffs, hmo, precertify, plan allowance, formulary, customary, in network, out of network and so and so on....sound more like a Ponzi Scheme! The American Ponzi Dream.. The corporations have more rights than the citizen. The only option from the putrid pandering and prostitution in DC is REVOLUTION!!!! Clean them all out and start anew. They all suck and have their hands in our pockets. God Help US......

I tend to agree with that last statement. Many others do as well. You see the corporations own the politicians and they own us. We are the serfts and they are the Lords.

Snowed: An answer to a recent question of yours is clearly answered on my website. The answer was not from me.
