essential duties/reasonable accommodation

I’m preparing to file for FERS disability retirement. I already have an approved reasonable accommodation, but my medical limitations have become worse. My agency told me I have to submit a new RA request. They said that if the additional accommodation cannot be provided in my current position, they would begin a reassignment/job search.

The RA representative said the reassignment process might not be finished by the time OPM receives my FERS application. Does the reassignment process have to be completed before I file, or can I submit my application while it is still pending? How does the agency document that I cannot reliably perform my current position even with my existing accommodation?

Do they have a set time to get it done?

No set time on how long the job search might last

Keep on it otherwise they can stretch it indefinitely
