AFDICA Providing Resource Information for Federal Employees

We are aware that current and former FDIC employees are struggling with the uncertainties brought on by federal layoffs, reductions in force and buyouts that are being implemented by the current U.S. administration. To provide critical information to affected FDIC employees and alumni, AFDICA will be providing links and other helpful information on this site. This will be a working website which will continue to be updated as new information becomes available.  If you come across any information that you think should be added to this website, please send it to [email protected].

GOVERNMENT RESOURCES: This section provides information on how to contact your members of Congress.  Some members of Congress also share information on their website that is helpful to employees that have been laid off.  Here you will also find links to websites from Maryland, New York, Virginia and the District of Columbia that contain information on resources available for federal employees impacted by recent layoffs.  Several counties in Maryland and Virginia that are offering resources have also created websites.

EMPLOYMENT RESOURCES: This section provides information on several excellent job recruitment sites.  These include the Conference of State Bank Supervisors which is currently posting many financial and examiner type jobs at the Washington, DC and state levels.  Some local government job sites are shared as well as links to many national job recruiting sites that include usajobs.gov, monster.com, careerbuilder.com and others.  Information on determining your service and appointment type is also provided.

FINANCIAL RESOURCES:  This section provides valuable information on how federal employees can apply for unemployment compensation for federal employees (UCFE) in the state in which they live. Information on programs that may help you with reducing your student loan, mortgage, rent and utilities payments is also shared.

HEALTHCARE RESOURCES: During times of stress, we must stay focused on our physical and mental health.  In this section you will find information on continuing your health coverage through the Temporary FEHB Continuation of Coverage (TCC).  TCC can be expensive so other information about the health care options offered under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) are also shown.  And finally, links to organizations that can help maintain mental health are also shared.

LEGAL RESOURCES: This section provides many legal resources that support your rights as a federal employee. The information shared is provided for informational purposes only, and not as legal advice. Information shared here includes employee rights and appeals, finding affordable legal aid, whistleblower information and discussions by the Union Lawyers Alliance (ULA).   Information on the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) and prohibited personnel practices is also provided.

CURRENT RESOURCES: This section will provide information that includes employee rights discussion boards and also information on proposed legislation and executive orders that may impact employees.
