Appeal Procedures for Recoupment of Awards, Bonuses, or Relocation Expenses for VA Employees under OPM Rule

$129.99

This course offers a targeted, practical guide to the new OPM final rule implementing 5 CFR Part 755, which defines how current and former VA employees can appeal orders to repay awards, bonuses, or relocation expenses. Designed for HR specialists, VA staff, union representatives, and legal professionals, the training covers statutory triggers for recoupment, strict filing deadlines, required documentation, and the precise steps for submitting and defending appeals. Learn the vital compliance requirements, what procedural errors to watch for, and the consequences for missing timelines.

In this course you will learn the following:
* Understand the statutory and regulatory framework for recoupment and appeals.
* Identify key compliance requirements and deadlines for both VA and employees.
* Follow the correct procedures for submitting and processing appeals.
* Recognize the limits of OPM’s review and the finality of decisions.
* Appreciate the legal and financial consequences of non-compliance.

NOTE: Unless otherwise indicated, all course purchases are for access to the course for a period of 1-year.  At the end of the one year term, the course will be set to “inactive”. 

Why This Course is Important
Without this course, learners may overlook critical deadlines, misunderstand appeal documentation requirements, or fail to identify procedural protections—potentially resulting in lost rights to contest VA recoupment actions and unintended financial liability.
