I am currently living in Nevada, but moving to WA state. I have been on workmans comp for the last 6 months, and have filed for medical retirement.
The move is not voluntary, but due to my house being taken in foreclosure. I’ve notified my employer, OPM and DOL of the move, and no one seems to be concerned about it.
I am concerned that my job may try to fire me for job abandonment. Since I am still on their employee roster [only on paper] can they do that, and if so aren’t they responsible to warn me? DOL has not responded yet to my certified letter, but I basically requested my case be transferred to WA state.
Do they transfer cases readily, or do they commonly refuse to do that as well?
Thanks for your help. I’m trying to be proactive and find solutions before anything happens
