Whatever they pass doesnt matter if ya dont get the annuity.... 63802@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 04 Aug 2009 00:01:46 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_HR_1804.html#60689 hope it passes soon i want out... 60689@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 16 Jun 2009 22:26:25 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_HR_1804.html#60593 Get real. This bill will never pass. The Federal managers want full time only not part time workers. The workers affected by this bill would be the one's in the last years of their career. They would be more productive part time than full time. The federal managers do not want this efficiency. They want their federal payroll costs as high as possible. They want to build an empire. Having part timers, even though more efficient, would not help them build an empire. If they give up payroll dollars, they will not get it back next year. Use it or lose it, sounds familiar. If you think that this bill will ever pass, than I have a bridge for you to buy. Wake up and realize this subject has been around for many years. Like it has been quoted in past years. "Part Time not this Time." If you believe this bill will pass in the 111th congress, than please remember what PT Barnum said.... 60593@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 15 Jun 2009 22:01:32 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_HR_1804.html#60255 "a federal employee's part-time service performed before April 7, 1986, from proration requirements for purposes of annuity computation under CSRS." I believe that the April 7, 1986 date is when a bill was passed to enact proration for annuity of part-time work -- part time work prior to that time should not be considered for proration in annuity computation.... 60255@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 10 Jun 2009 09:40:05 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_HR_1804.html#60070 The sick leave credit for FERS employees would certainly be one incentive for eligible people to retire, especially good for the postal service right now.... 60070@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sat, 06 Jun 2009 10:48:18 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_HR_1804.html#59985 It means that people like myself who worked for the government, left the government, cashed in their FERS retirement, then returned to federal employment. The legislation would allow us to buy back our time.... 59985@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 04 Jun 2009 08:51:41 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_HR_1804.html#59263 What does this mean?

They should have the same rights. They shouldn't have to go to Iraq and have the retirement benefits at retirement. Thank God CIA finally went to DoD!... 56593@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 17 Apr 2009 19:55:48 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_HR_1804.html#56363 This is something that should have been done from the first, please contact your Senators and get this bill passed, we need our senior folks at work and not using their sick leave as they near retirement!... 56363@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 14 Apr 2009 10:05:30 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_HR_1804.html#56231 This is already very late, I am glad the House has passed it expeditiously, Senate must follow.... 56231@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 13 Apr 2009 08:55:40 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_HR_1804.html#56065 I'm glad this passed the House. Now on to the SENATE for passing. I hope this expedites and does not get lagged down or tied into/with other Senators' interests. Please all FERS (Federal Employees) contact your Senators and ask them to support this to pass. Thanks... 56065@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 10 Apr 2009 18:21:16 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_HR_1804.html#55908 How does this bill change the way part-time service under CSRS is calculated? It is my understanding that part-time service prior to April 1986 is already exempt from the calculation. The problem lies in the calculation for current CSRS employees who have part-time work AFTER April 1986. I believe there is another bill H.R. 1256 that does address the calculation.... 55908@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 08 Apr 2009 17:29:59 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_HR_1804.html#55875 Not sure what you mean. Federal Employees under the CSRS retirement system did not pay into Social security unless they took the offset. Am I wrong?... 55875@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 08 Apr 2009 11:34:43 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_HR_1804.html#55872 Why Isnt Anyone Attempting To Repeal The Windfall Penalty Act.Afterall We Paid Into Social Security And Are Being Penalized Because We Are CSRS Employees... 55872@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 08 Apr 2009 11:15:25 EDT
