Continuous vetting for all — that's the goal of OPM under Trusted Workforce 2.0. But the timeline seems ambitious.
The HR Line of Business and Quality Service Management Office completed this year-old effort earlier this year to update the HR business reference architecture.
In today's Federal Newscast: The IRS may have over-estimated the public demand for a government-run online platform to file taxes. OPM reminds agencies to report telework data accurately. And Open Season is fast-approaching, meaning it's time for feds to scrutinize their health care options.
By the end of fiscal 2024, all federal employees in “non-sensitive public trust positions” will be subject to more regular background checks.
The hiring authority lets agencies forgo traditional hiring procedures and noncompetitively appoint some military spouses to certain federal positions.
Approximately 315 NSF employees on levels 4 and 5 of the Administratively Determined (AD) pay scale will see cuts to their salaries take effect in January.
In today's Federal Newscast: The Postal Regulatory Commission remains at full strength as it implements its 10-year reform plan. The Department of Homeland Security plans to develop a special hiring system for cybersecurity positions. And OPM has extended the effort to encourage the hiring of military spouses.
The Office of Personnel Management announced the new health care premium rates ahead of the upcoming Open Season. FEHB participants can make changes to their enrollments from Nov. 13 through Dec. 11.
Federal News Network has collected documents and articles from the White House, the Government Accountability Office and the private sector to help federal employees plan for a government shutdown.
The initiative from OPM aims to help agencies provide consistent messaging about how federal job candidates are chosen, trained and evaluated.
During the last government shutdown in 2018 and 2019, roughly 800,000 of the 2.1 million civilian federal employees at the time were furloughed.
It’s the first time in seven years that the roughly 267,000 FLTCIP enrollees, who are civilian federal employees and military members, will see a premium rate increase.
Among the looming threat of a government shutdown, the National Treasury Employees Union also plans to advocate for federal telework and push against Schedule F in the coming months.
The Office of Personnel Management issued a proposed rule aiming to reinforce merit system protections for feds in case of a possible return of Schedule F. But some experts call for further action in Congress against Schedule F.
