Entitlement to Severance Pay

An Authorized Certifying Officer requested a decision concerning the eligibility of an employee for severance pay and questioned whether corrective action should be initiated to pay others who were advised to resign from their positions in order to accept employment with the Legal Services Corporation. The employee's entitlement to severance pay was not affected by 5 U.S.C. 5595(d) because employment with the Legal Services Corporation does not constitute employment with the Federal Government or District of Columbia government. Entitlement to severance pay was not affected by 5 C.F.R. 550.701(b)(5) because comparable employment was not offered or accepted within 90 days of replacement date.
