TIME-IN-GRADE: Applicants who are current non-temporary Federal employees and have held a GS grade any time in the past 52 weeks must also meet time-in-grade requirements by the closing date of this announcement (02/24/2021).

If you are a current non-temporary GS employee applying for a higher grade than the grade you currently hold, provide an SF-50 that shows the required lower grade was held for at least one year. Some SF-50s effective within the last 52 weeks will not demonstrate the required lower grade was held for at least one year (e.g. General Adjustment SF-50 from this year). In many cases, we may need to see two (2) SF-50s to determine time-in-grade and eligibility for promotion.
