First Responder Fair RETIRE Act: Proposed OPM Regulations for Federal Disability Retirement Benefits
$129.99
Federal first responders face unique risks in service. This course focuses on the Office of Personnel Management’s proposed regulations for the First Responder Fair RETIRE Act, which ensures that covered federal law enforcement officers, firefighters, air traffic controllers, and other high-risk personnel who experience a qualifying duty-related injury or illness retain their enhanced retirement benefits—even if they can’t return to their original jobs. Learn the criteria for coverage, agency and employee responsibilities, reappointment options, and the regulatory changes affecting the Civil Service and Federal Employees’ Retirement Systems.
In this course you will learn the following:
* Understand the purpose and intent of the First Responder Fair RETIRE Act and the proposed regulations.
* Identify which employees and positions are covered by the Act.
* Describe the process and criteria for retaining enhanced retirement coverage after a qualifying injury or illness.
* Recognize the agency and employee responsibilities under the proposed rule.
* Explain the opportunities for public participation and the potential for changes before the rule is finalized.
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”.
