How scammers are selling counterfeit stamps on Facebook ads
"The U.S. Postal Service has teams of forensic scientists who can catch the subtle differences between a real postage stamp and a fake one, however, an average person could easily make that mistake and use a counterfeit stamp, which is a federal crime. Other legitimate retailers such as Costco, Walgreens, and CVS are permitted to sell postage stamps at a discount by law, so it is possible to get postage stamps for slightly cheaper. However, the discount is always very slight, and the stamps themselves are legitimate and authorized by the U.S. Postal Service. ..."

This Article is From: usps.com

"“DeJoy may be the only person on earth who could have delivered these wins for America’s beloved, beleaguered agency,” the article states, explaining how he has drawn upon his previous experience as a CEO and political fundraiser. Additionally, the article notes that some early criticisms of DeJoy proved erroneous. The 3,900-word piece is available on Time’s website, in the magazine’s March 27 print edition and on Apple News, where it appears under the headline “The Mail Man — Initially cast as a Trumpian villain, Louis DeJoy is delivering for the Postal Service, and Democrats.” The article concludes by indicating the Postal Service still has a long way to go, but DeJoy plans to keep working to turn the organization around. As he tells Time: “I don’t like to leave a job undone.”..."

Long-term care pause | Two-year freeze on applications
Long-term care pause | Two-year freeze on applications
Read our latest posts!
The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has paused all new applications for the Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program.
Unenrolled individuals cannot apply for the program.
The suspension period, which will run for 24 months from Dec. 19, 2022, is designed to give OPM and the John Hancock Life and Health Insurance Co., the program’s carrier, “time to thoroughly assess benefit offerings and establish sustainable premium rates that reasonably and equitably reflect the cost of the benefits provided,” according to the suspension notice on the program’s website.
Current enrollees’ coverage will not change as long as they continue to pay their premiums. However, current enrollees may not increase coverage.
Those who applied for the program before the cutoff date will have their application considered and, if approved, will receive all relevant information.
For those in claims status, there is no change to coverage or claims reimbursement as long as benefits have not been exhausted.
For more information on the suspension, call LTCFEDS at 800-582-3337. For other benefits-related questions, contact the Wellness team.

U.S. Postal Service (USPS) Employee Hatch Act Violation
"OSC filed a complaint for disciplinary action with the Merit Systems Protection Board charging a rural mail carrier in California with violating three provisions of the Hatch Act when, in August 2020, she intentionally removed and discarded 66 pieces of presorted deliverable mail intended for delivery on her route because the pieces were sent by a political party or the campaign of a candidate for partisan political office. According to the complaint, the carrier placed the mail in an undeliverable mail bin from which it would have been thrown away, but an attentive employee at the post office noticed an unusual quantity of political mail in the bin and alerted a postmaster. In a settlement agreement, the carrier admitted that OSC would have been able to prove that she violated three provisions of the Hatch Act—the prohibitions on engaging in political activity while on duty or in the federal workplace and the prohibition on using one's official authority to interfere with or affect the results of an election. The carrier agreed to resign from USPS and accept a one-year debarment from federal employment as a penalty for violating the Hatch Act. ..."
