Current or former career or career-conditional (tenure group I or II) competitive service employees who:
1) received a special RIF separation notice; or
2) separated because of a compensable injury, whose compensation has been terminated, and whose former agency certifies that it is unable to place; or
3) retired with a disability and whose disability annuity has been or is being terminated; or
