The Air Force has released additional guidance in regard to the federal civilian hiring freeze. According to the new guidance, all requests for personnel action received by the Air Force Personnel Center by Feb 7, 2017, will continue to be announced, and referral certificates will continue to be issued. If tentative job offers were given to selectees before Jan. 22, but with entry dates after Feb. 22, they will be notified of their pending status. Also, the Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC) will not be accepting recruit/fill actions without an approved hiring freeze exemption.
