Frequently Asked Questions
I accepted a Term Appointment, what happens once the Term Assignment is over?
A Term Appointment will not provide Federal Employee status at the end of the term appointment. Once the Term Appointment is over CDC is under no obligation to provide employment after your overseas assignment; however, CDC will relocate you back to your home of record.
Previous Federal employees who have taken a temp or term appointment may be eligible for reinstatement for future vacancies for a period of time depending on their status when they accepted the temporary position. Priority consideration for reemployment will be given to employees with reinstatement eligibility.
If you are placed in a position upon your return to the U.S., your overseas pay will be used to determine the appropriate step of the grade to which you are appointed
