      If you get hired back or work for the government within 5 years of your voluntary separation payout, you have to pay back the full amount before your first day back.

        If you get hired back or work for the government within 5 years of your voluntary separation payout,

        If you work for a contracting company that contracts you to the government, wouldn’t that bypass that “gotcha”? As in, you work for the Federal Government, resign and get paid out. Then you get hired by Lockheed Martin as a contractor, and get placed back in the same work you were doing (but are now paid a higher rate because you’re a contractor and not a government employee on the GSA schedule". Would that not work?
