D.C. Government Employees: Changes to Paid Leave Are Now in Effect

Effective October 1, changes to D.C. government’s Paid Family and Medical Leave program affect how much paid leave eligible employees may receive for their own serious health condition or to care for a qualifying family member.

The changes can also affect how your paid leave interacts with DCFMLA and federal FMLA protections.

Before requesting leave, know what has changed and understand how it could affect your available leave.

🌧️ Rain Didn’t Stop Our Members from Showing Up!

This past Saturday, Compensation Units 1 & 2 members came together for our Call to Action on Pay & Benefits and it was a great turnout!

Despite the rain, members showed up to hear important updates on negotiations, ask questions, and learn more about what’s happening at the bargaining table.

Showing up in the rain to stay informed and engaged; that’s dedication. That’s solidarity. 💪🏽

A special thank you to Lee Blackmon, Federal Division Director; Darcy Burgess, National Representative; and Monique Chase, Lead Benefit Specialist, who joined us to connect with members, share information, and help make the event a success.

Thank you to everyone who came out and continues to stay engaged as we fight for fair wages, meaningful benefits, and the workplace protections DC Government employees deserve.

When we show up together, our voices are stronger.

IMPORTANT: Your FY 2026 Performance Rating

New OPM guidance limits the number of covered federal employees who can receive the two highest performance ratings.

As the appraisal cycle closes, documenting your accomplishments is especially important.
Make sure you know your agency's self-assessment deadline, understand the new guidance and retain evidence of your performance.

NAGE DEMANDS ACTION ON VA POLICE STAFFING CRISIS

NAGE National President David J. Holway has called on VA Secretary Douglas Collins to take immediate action to address critical staffing shortages within VA Police Services nationwide.

In a formal letter dated September 29, 2026, President Holway raised serious concerns about mandatory overtime, denied leave, officer fatigue, and the growing risks these conditions pose to VA police officers, veterans, employees, and visitors.

NAGE is calling for increased staffing, improved recruitment and retention, and an immediate meeting with VA leadership to develop a corrective action plan.

Our message is clear: VA police officers deserve the staffing, resources, and support necessary to protect those who served our country.

NAGE remains committed to representing our members and demanding meaningful action.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re celebrating the people and stories that make NAGE stronger!

Meet Marlene Gomez, an Advanced Medical Support Assistant with the Department of Veterans Affairs and proud member of NAGE Local 551.

With roots in Cuba and Argentina, Marlene says her family’s courage, sacrifice, and strong work ethic have played an important role in shaping who she is today. She carries those values into her work serving our nation’s Veterans and into her commitment to solidarity as a NAGE member.

For Marlene, Hispanic Heritage Month is also a reminder to celebrate our different backgrounds while continuing to lead with kindness and respect for one another.

Thank you, Marlene, for sharing your story and allowing us to celebrate your heritage with you!

UNION VICTORY: Federal Workers Protected ✊

NAGE and our union partners have secured an important victory for federal employees.

A settlement has been reached in the legal challenge against efforts to use the 2025 government shutdown to carry out mass firings of federal workers.

The agreement requires agencies to be informed that the shutdown RIF guidance has been abandoned and requires agency shutdown plans to remove authorization for those RIFs.

As NAGE National President David J. Holway said:

“Federal employees should never have to wonder whether a government shutdown will cost them their paycheck and their career.”

This is representation in action.

NAGE joined our labor partners in challenging these actions, protecting federal employees and making clear that workers should not have their careers threatened because of a government shutdown.

When unions stand together, workers have a voice — and representation matters.
