Documents submitted as part of the application package, to include supplemental documents, may be shared beyond the Human Resources Office. Some supplemental documents contain personal information (SSN and DOB). Some documents such as military orders and marriage certificates may contain personal information for someone other than you. You may sanitize these documents to remove said personal information before you submit your application. You may be asked to provide an un-sanitized version of the documents if you are selected to confirm your eligibility.
While deployed with the DoD-EC Workforce Program in a TDY status, you are eligible to continue your current Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) coverage, but deployment creates a "qualifying life event" for purposes of FEHB if you are covered by a FEHB Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) since you will be outside of the geographic area from which the FEHB carrier accepts enrollments or provides coverage. You may use the GRB Platform (formerly the Employee Benefits Information System (EBIS)) for further information. The link for the GRB Platform is https://www.civilianbenefits.hroc.navy.mil/Account/SecurityNotice?License=1804. You may also call the Civilian Benefits Center at 888-320-2917 or email them at navybenefits@navy.mil.
While deployed with the DoD-EC Workforce Program in a TDY status, you are eligible to continue your current Federal Employees Group Life Insurance Coverage (FEGLI); deployment does not cancel FEGLI coverage. Additionally, if you deploy in support of a contingency operation and if as a civilian employee you have previously waived some or all FEGLI coverage, you may elect the following FEGLI coverage outside an open season, without experiencing a qualifying life event, and without providing medical information: Basic coverage; and if you already have or elect Basic, you may also may elect Option A (Standard) coverage, and/or Option B (Additional) coverage. To elect/increase your FEGLI coverage once you receive your official offer letter, you may call the Benefits line at 1-888-320-2917, option 4.
All eligible employees may participate in the Thrift Savings Plan while deployed.
There is NO entitlement to temporary storage of household goods while deployed in a TDY status.
