Check for any duplicated content: We included EDRP details in About the role and also in Benefits (just referencing). Might be okay but could be considered duplication. However we need to preserve all substantive info; we could keep EDRP details only in About the role and not repeat in Benefits. But Benefits section should list benefits; EDRP is a benefit. Could keep a brief line referencing EDRP eligibility. But we already have details in About the role. To avoid duplication, we could keep Benefits without EDRP line, but then we lose explicit mention of EDRP as a benefit. However the instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information". So we need to keep the EDRP info somewhere. It's okay to have it in About the role and also mention in Benefits as a brief note, but that repeats some info (the details). Might be considered duplication but not necessarily prohibited. However they said "Remove duplicated lines". So we should avoid repeating the same sentences. We can keep EDRP details in About the role and in Benefits just say "Eligible for the Education Debt Reduction Program (EDRP) – student loan repayment". That's not a duplicate of the detailed paragraph; it's a summary. That's acceptable.
We also need to ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like "VA offers a comprehensive total rewards package" - we turned that into benefits list.
Check for any mention of "Learn more" etc - removed.
Check for any mention of "Reference: For more information on this qualification standard - please visit https://..." - that's a link; we should remove as it's likely boilerplate/reference. Remove.
Check for "Physical Requirements: Placement in this position is subject to meeting the physical requirements of this position" - we kept physical requirements as part of qualifications list.
Check for "Pre-placement medical examination is required: Light lifting under 15 lbs - light caring under 15 lbs - reaching above shoulder - using fingers - both hands required - walking and standing - hearing aid may be permitted and working alone." We incorporated.
Check for "Former EDRP participants ineligible to apply" included.
Check for "Program Approval - award amount (up to $200 -000) & eligibility period (one to five years) are determined by the VHA Education Loan Repayment Services program office after review of the EDRP application." We included.
Check for "You must meet specific eligibility requirements per VHA policy and submit your EDRP application within four months of appointment." Included.
Check for "Education Debt Reduction Program (Student Loan Repayment): This position is eligible for the Education Debt Reduction Program (EDRP) - a student loan payment reimbursement program" - we covered.
Check for "Pay: Competitive salary - annual performance bonus - regular salary increases" we have.
Check for "Paid Time Off: 50-55 days of paid time off per year per full time schedule (26 days of annual leave - 13 days of sick leave - 11 paid Federal holidays per year and possible 5 day paid absence for CME)" we have.
Check for "Retirement: Traditional federal pension (5 years vesting) and federal 401K with up to 5% in contributions by VA" we have.
