Federal Manager's Daily Report

The Office of Personnel Management has announced that it

reviewed the re-employment rights of federal employees upon

their return from active duty before the House Committee on

Veterans’ Affairs, and offered support of legislation that

if passed would extend the period of health benefits coverage

for feds called to active duty from 18 months to two years.


It said it took its obligation under the uniform services

employment and reemployment rights act very seriously, and

recounted job protections such as returning individuals to

their former positions or ones they would have reached in

due course before being called-up.


There are currently about 15,000 feds serving active duty

and the additional coverage under the federal employees

health benefits program would cost about $10 million,

according to OPM.
