FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is Peace Corps a civil service organization? Will it affect my benefits?
Answer: Peace Corps is not a competitive service agency, it is considered
part of the Excepted Service. If you are already in the competitive service
and accept a position in the Peace Corps you will maintain the same
retirement, health and life insurance benefits as you previously had. Your
service computation date will also remain unchanged. You will not gain
career status by working with Peace Corps, however, if you already have
career status you will not lose it.
What does the in/out rule mean?
Answer: The In/Out rule means that a former Peace Corps employee cannot be
re-employed by Peace Corps until he/she has been out of the agency for the
same amount of time that he/she worked for Peace Corps. For example, if you
worked for Peace Corps for 3 years, you cannot come back to work for Peace
Corps until you have been away for three years.
What does the 5 year rule mean?
Answer: A Peace Corps employee is hired for a 30 month tour, and may be
extended for another 30 month tour, but, after 60 months, an employee must
leave the agency. The 5 Year Rule has been in effect since the agency was
created in 1961 and is intended to provide for creative ideas, fresh
insights, and flexibility.
