Questions and answers
Yes. This reference pertains to requirements in the Career Transition Assistance Program (CTAP) and Interagency Transition Assistance Program (ICTAP), described in 5 CFR part 330 subparts F and G, respectively. Because a hiring agency must consider any CTAP and ICTAP eligible individuals before filling a competitive service job, regardless of the duty location specified in the JOA, a hiring agency must define “well-qualified” for CTAP/ICTAP purposes when filling jobs on a remote basis.
For more information on how to apply CTAP and ICTAP for positions filled “anywhere in the U.S. (remote job),” please see the section on Consideration of Priority Placement Programs below.
