Career Transition Assistance Plan (CTAP) And Interagency Career Transition Assistance Plan (ICTAP) Selection Priority

 

The Department of the Treasury provides special selection priority under the Career Transition Assistance Plan (CTAP) for Treasury surplus or displaced employees and under the Interagency Career Transition Assistance Plan (ICTAP) for other displaced Federal employees.  To receive CTAP or ICTAP special selection priority, you must apply to a position in the local commuting area that is at or below the grade level from which you’re being separated and that does not have greater promotion potential than the position from which you’re being separated; be determined to be well-qualified for the job; and submit proof of eligibility by the closing date of the announcement.  

For proof of CTAP eligibility, you must provide a copy of all three of the following:

  1. Your Reduction in Force (RIF) separation notice, notice of proposed removal for declining a directed reassignment or transfer of function outside the local commuting area, certificate of expected separation, or other official notice from the agency indicating that you have been identified as surplus or eligible for discontinued service retirement;
  1. Your Notification of Personnel Action(s), SF-50(s), or other official documentation that shows:
    1. You are a career or career-conditional competitive service employee, in tenure group 1 or 2, or a current Treasury employee in an excepted service appointment without time limit, at grade GS-15 or equivalent and below, who has been conferred noncompetitive appointment eligibility and special selection priority by statute for positions in the competitive service; and
    2. The position you may be or are being separated from:
      1. Is the same or higher grade as the job announced; and
      2. Has the same or higher promotion potential than the job announced; and
      3. Is in the same local commuting area as the job announced;
  1. Your most recent performance rating of record (which must be rated at least fully successful or equivalent).

For proof of ICTAP eligibility, you must provide a copy of all three of the following:

  1. Your Reduction in Force (RIF) separation notice, notice of proposed removal for declining a directed reassignment or transfer of function outside the local commuting area, documentation (e.g., Notification of Personnel Action, SF-50) showing separation occurred as a result of RIF or for declining a transfer of function or directed reassignment to another commuting area, or other official notification documenting other priority consideration status as described in 5 CFR 330.708(a)(2);

  2. Your Notification of Personnel Action(s), SF-50(s), or other official documentation that shows:
    1. You are a career or career-conditional competitive service employee, in tenure group 1 or 2, at grade GS-15 or equivalent and below; and
    2. The position you may be or are being separated from:
      1. Is the same or higher grade as the job announced; and
      2. Has the same or higher promotion potential than the job announced; and
      3. Is in the same local commuting area as the job announced;
  1. Your most recent performance rating of record (which must be rated at least fully successful or equivalent).  This is not required if you are eligible for ICTAP due to compensable injury, disability retirement, or retirement on the effective date of a RIF for which you received notice.
