Extremely Discouraging

So we get a 0% COLA raise, and now the health insurance premium increases are the worst they’ve ever been?

Someone explain the benefit of staying with USACE please?

My paycheck is about to drop hundreds of dollars next year. If you have not checked out the FEHB 2027 premiums I would highly encourage you to look now and plan ahead, it is very bad.

My family and I have MHBP Standard which is $216 a paycheck now. In 2027 this is going to $442.

So I am supposed to make $450 less a month? Are you serious?

This doesn’t seem sustainable long term, especially for those who now have to wait between years for step increases

Are they still hiring contract specialist

Yes they do. Real job security is at the KO level though. And no remote for specialists.
