TCAT and applying for Class B employment

..... if there is a sizable federal government presence in the area you are all but guaranteed a job.....

Untrue.

In order to be appointed to a public service job as a priority hire, the medically released member must first meet all the essential requirements of the position.  Then, if two equally qualified applicants are in the pool the medically released member shall be appointed over the other candidate.

That's been her experience in Civ staffing. I'm not an expert so I differ to her.

The other implication has been if you retire healthy you are doing it wrong.

Sad, but somewhat true.

Especially considering if you're a 3B release, you get full severance, instead of the random date it stopped a few years ago.

Of course, while you're on class B over 180 days you can also apply for public service positions - no need to wait for a medical release.  Of course, that's just an entry into the competition, but it's still an option that too few people think of until they get their 30 days notice.
