[QUOTE="klmno, post: 305371, member: 3699"] Thanks! I had a security clearance before so I think they don't need to do as much to re-activate it but it shouldn't be a problem anyway. I used USAJOBS to apply for this job but I didn't poke around on it to find out about bennies- I'll do that. I know the GS level for the job and did find another website that talked about COLA, which we also had in the military so I understand that. I'm really woondering about the medication insurance though. In the military, I had no medication costs unless I wanted to seek treatment off-base and on my own, without involving the military. So as a civilian, do I pay for my own insurance or do they cover part of that cost and I just pay for difficult child's? Is it a fed insurance program or a choice of private ones? This other website I found said they could negotiate relocation expenses upon hiring but make sure it is settled before taking the job. Also, I guess each GS level also has a "step" involved and if you are an experienced professional, you can negotiate the step you are started at in order to take the job with a salary that is comparable to what you are used to. Does all that sound true? [/QUOTE]
