Journal Entry: Dennis Zeedyk-01/31/2025-Unicor & FSA Credits

Journal Entry

I am still waiting for my A&O (Administration & Orientation) meeting. It is supposed to happen within 30 days of your arrival, but I know some guys who have not yet had it and they have been here for 45 days so far. Once that happens, I will then be allowed to get a job. It looks like I will be working in the office at Unicor – a government owned entity that clothes, furniture and equipment for the military and Bureau of Prisons, as well as other parts & equipment that I don’t even know about. The general office for Unicor all US facilities is here at FMC Lexington. I have already spoken to a supervisor and she said with my experience I will be hired in her office for either accounting or customer service. Working at Unicor gives you programming credit under the First Step Act (FSA) that will knock off 35% of my time. Good Time credits will knock off 15% of my time. I am eligible for both.

I am also signed up to co-teach an Adult Cooperative Education (ACE) class on business sometime in the next few weeks, which also gives me FSA credit.

In terms of signing up to take FSA classes, I am signed up for all that I can be signed up for & they are listed below. The important thing is that you are signed up for them and you are on a waiting list. You get credit being on the list because it may be quite awhile before there is actually room in the class.

  1. Unicor
  2. Faith Based Conflict Management
  3. House of Healing
  4. Threshold
  5. Embracing InterFaith Concepts
  6. Arthritis: Walking with Ease
  7. Talking with Your Doctor
