OPM Placement

If the agency is unable to reemploy an individual returning from duty in the uniformed services, OPM will order placement in another agency when:
- OPM determines that it is impossible or unreasonable for an agency in the executive branch (other than an intelligence agency) to reemploy the person; or
- An intelligence agency or an agency in the legislative or judicial branch notifies OPM that it is impossible or unreasonable to reemploy the person, and the person applies to OPM for placement assistance; or
- The adjutant general of a state determines it is impossible or unreasonable to reemploy a non-career National Guard technician who was separated involuntarily from the Guard for reasons beyond his or her control and is otherwise eligible for reemployment.
