Change the EO 13473 2 year eligibility start date from Date of PCS Orders to Report Date. Actually set realistic term.

Created by C.K. on May 03, 2012

I am a military spouse, I am unemployed as a result of a process inefficiency regarding this EO 13473. I lost my eligibility during the interview process. I was selected and offered a job, given a start date and completed hiring paperwork. The job offer was rescinded because my 2 year window of eligibility based on PCS order date expired during hiring process. If the report date was used I would still be eligible. There is a two and half month difference in time between PCS order date and report date.I am told I could have applied for jobs prior to reporting. That is unrealistic, I wouldn't have been present to participate in interview process or to accept immediate appointability so that suggestion is inefficient. Some spouses lose up to 6 months! I want my two months back.
