Benchmark: Federal Suitability Action Appeals: Proposed OPM Rule Changes (5 CFR Part 731, Subpart E)

Take this benchmark to assess how much you would benefit from taking the course on Suitability Action Appeals – Proposed Rule (5 CFR Part 731, Subpart E).

This quick, 10‑question check surfaces how well you grasp the intent and impact of shifting suitability appeals from MSPB to OPM—what changes, why it matters, and who feels it most. It’s not a trivia quiz; it probes your judgment about trade‑offs like speed vs. due process, consistency vs. independent review, and transparency vs. privacy.

What you’ll get:

  • A rapid read on your readiness to navigate the proposed OPM appeals model
  • Clarity on key trade‑offs (efficiency, consistency, costs) and their operational ripple effects
  • Insight into rights, protections, and practical steps for preparation (e‑filing, records, adjudicator independence)
  • Confidence to engage stakeholders and submit substantive public comments

If the benchmark exposes gaps, the full course will help you unpack the rule’s purpose, scope, procedures, due‑process safeguards, and cost/benefit picture—so you can act early, consistently, and fairly.

NOTE: Unless otherwise indicated, all Benchmarks are free of charge!
