What does continuous service mean?
The requirement for program participants to sign a Continuous Service Agreement means that upon completion of the program the participant must remain with TSA or DHS without a break in service (retaining federal employment status) for three (3) years following program completion. If a participant leaves before the conclusion of the three years, the participant must reimburse to the government a pro-rated share of the non-salary expenses incurred in the developmental program, e.g., travel, per diem, and tuition dollars. A copy of the TSA Continuous Service Agreement can be found at http://tsaweb.tsa.dot.gov/intraweb/assetlibrary/TSA_Form_1117_FINAL3_050718.doc.

‘Continuous service’ means that you must be working for Homecare continuously and your service cannot be broken. For example if you started with Homecare in May 1999 and left in July 2000 but then decided to start again in September 2000, your service will only be recognised from September 2000. Your account is deemed inactive if you do not place an order every 8 weeks, and once your account is inactive your service is classified as broken.
