Can a service period be extended in return for continued payments without triggering a new three-year obligation?
Yes, but only if the Department decides to offer this option to an entire year group of ASLRP recipients. In 2006, the Department offered this option to attorneys originally selected in 2003, allowing them to agree to a one-year extension of their service obligations in exchange for a fourth year of benefits. The Department is not currently offering that option. This option may not be requested in lieu of recompetition upon expiration of a service obligation by an individual participating attorney.
