| Advisory Opinion request submitted by Darrell Montgomery regarding private sector post-employment options after retiring from the Louisiana Department of Health. |
|
|
At the time of his request, Mr. Montgomery stated that he is a clinical social worker with the Louisiana Department of Health's Office of Behavioral Health who intended to retire on September 30, 2019. He began his employment with LDH in September 1998 and held a variety of positions during his continuous service. He is interested in returning to the private sector to work in health care and is seeking guidance as to what limitations may exist while pursuing post-retirement employment options, but does not currently have an offer of employment about which he is seeking clarification.
