Suing the Federal government over retirement benefits

[gmcgann]

Your question is more specific then you realize.

In what way?

There are federal courts located in your state (and every state) but only YOUR lawyer can tell you what specific court you need to file in.

Ok, I'll buy that answer. Too bad it took 8 tries for someone to offer it.

Not quite.

Since you're going to have to have an attorney anyway, just get the attorney and let him/her figure out where to file.

If suing the federal government, you should be able to do this in the closest U.S. District Court to your home. It is not likely venue would be challenged.

Before proceeding, you need to understand the exact reasons why your prior avenues of appeal lacked jurisdiction to hear your case. It may well be the federal court will also lack jurisdiction for the same reasons. This would be true if you waited too long to appeal.

Beyond that federal pensions are calculated based upon grade level, years of service, and salary. If a change in job title is accompanied by a reduction in grade and/or salary, that could negatively affect pension.

Fixed that for you.

You're a moron.

Thank you. That is exactly the answer I was looking for.

If you really see no difference in those two statements I'm glad I don't have you interpreting my contracts.
