Program performance.—The activity’s performance measures are designed to assess the value-added outcomes which
oversight reviews, accountability and demonstration projects,
and workforce information have on the Federal HRM community and employees. Client feedback is solicited on each review, product, and service. For example, clients rate the overall value of the oversight work as 4 on a 5-point scale. The
quality of data that is provided to clients is regularly assessed, and is used in reviews, studies, and projects. Of each
agency’s records entered into the Central Personnel Data File,
at least 97 percent are correct on all core elements. The
Merit System Principles Questionnaire, used to collect employee perceptions of the merit system principles, is content
valid and reliable. OPM conducts 15 to 16 nationwide agency
oversight reviews each year to ensure compliance with Federal Civil Service merit principles.
Employment service.—The Employment Service performs
core human resources employment functions that are essential to attracting, hiring, and retaining a high-quality, diverse
Federal workforce. These functions include providing guidance
and assistance on: implementation of laws and Presidential
directives; recruitment, selection and promotion; delegated examining; training; workforce planning and restructuring; Federal employment information; and veterans’ employment
issues. The Service performs additional functions that are
funded through a mix of direct appropriations and reimbursable funds (e.g., USAJOBS, the Presidential Management Intern program, the selection and assignment of all Federal
Administrative Law Judges). In 2001 and 2002, the Service
will continue to emphasize improving Federal employment
opportunities for adults with disabilities and Hispanic Americans, and to enhance the Government’s ability to recruit, develop, and retain computer security professionals.
Program performance.—The Employment Service establishes annual performance goals and objectives designed to
accomplish long-term goals identified in OPM’s Strategic Plan.
Progress is monitored through a mix of outcome and output
measures, including results of oversight reviews, qualitative
feedback on the usefulness of policies and information processes, customer satisfaction with services, cost-comparison
analyses, workload accomplishment data, and quality and
timeliness of information.
The Employment service provided employment information
to over 16.5 million people in 2000 through a nationwide
system available 24 hours a day, 7 days aweek, by telephone,
fax, internet, and touch screen kiosks. USAJOBS averages
more than 45,000 visits daily and future growth is anticipated.
The Employment Service conducts a recertification and
training program for all agency Delegated Examining Units
to ensure that agencies are carrying out their delegated responsibilities in accordance with law and regulation, and accomplished all scheduled recertifications.
In 2000, the Employment Service issued regulations and
extensive guidance on implementing new laws, such as the
Veterans Millennium Health Care and Benefits Act (Public
Law 106–117), and changes in voluntary early retirement
authority. It also implemented Presidential initiatives, such
as increasing the opportunities for persons with disabilities
to be employed in the Federal workforce, recruiting and retaining a high quality diverse workforce, and eliminating redundant excepted appointment authorities. In 2000, the Service developed a Workforce Planning Model to help agencies
construct plans that address their future workforce needs.
In 2002, the Service will implement a fully-functional, online workforce planning system to help Federal agencies align

human resources with accomplishment of agency mission and
objectives and meet the President’s goal to flatten the Federal
hierarchy.
Retirement and Insurance.— This Activity encompasses administration of Earned Employee Benefits—the retirement
and insurance programs—for Federal employees, retired Federal employees, and their families. These programs include
the Civil Service Retirement System, the Federal Employees’
Retirement System, the Federal Employees’ Group Life Insurance Program, and the Federal Employees and Retired Employees Health Benefits Programs. The Long-Term Care Security Act (P.L. 106–265) authorizes OPM to offer group long
term care insurance for Federal employees and retirees, their
spouses, parents, and parents-in-law. In addition, this Activity
includes OPM’s efforts designed to stay abreast of, and respond to, developments in non-Federal fringe benefits practices.
Program performance.—2002 will be a pivotal year for the
Retirement Systems Modernization (RSM) Project, OPM’s central strategy to meet its long term customer service, financial
management and business goals for the Retirement Program.
The project is an on-going effort with phased implementation
plans. In 2002, acquisition and implementation will begin
for three major components. The Project will begin developing
the capability to capture data electronically that historically
has been available only on paper. Also, OPM will begin development of software that will be integrated with programwide data to ensure employees are placed in the correct retirement system. Finally, planning will begin for development
of a full function benefits calculator. This calculator will be
available for use across all federal agencies and will be available for self-service by employees and annuitants to provide
accurate estimates and projections of expected benefit payments. The RSM effort will result in changes to current processes and systems so that claims processing, record keeping,
benefits counseling, and financial management functions are
performed more efficiently and effectively.
Customer satisfaction with the delivery of retirement program services to annuitants remains high, as 93 percent of
customers reported they were generally to very satisfied with
OPM’s overall retirement services. This continues a five-year
trend of satisfaction levels in the 90 percent range.
OPM continues to improve its telecommunication services.
Toll-free telephone access is provided to all call centers, interactive features are available through the telephone system,
and hours of operation have been extended until 8:00 PM.
In addition, to better serve customers, we have enhanced
our ability to meet their needs by adding on-line features
for our Spanish-speaking customers and translating oftenused benefits material into Spanish. The volume of telephone
inquiries handled increased by seven percent during 2000
and has nearly doubled since 1994. Customer satisfaction levels regarding the courtesy, clarity, and timeliness of telephone
services remain high at 90 percent.
The volume of new annuity claims remained steady. OPM
has received and processed an average of 170,000 Civil Service and Federal Employees’ Retirement Systems annuity and
survivor claims annually over the past five years. The average
processing time in 2000 for interim annuity payments was
five days, and more than 30 percent of them were within
one day. The time needed to calculate and begin paying retirees their final annuity spiked upward in 2000. However, OPM
increased its claims processing capacity and efficiency through
the use of a new technical platform for FERS processing.
By 2002 this enhancement is expected to reduce claims processing times back to levels near those in existence prior to
2000. Customer satisfaction with the timeliness of the first
annuity payment has remained at or near 80 percent since
1997 and is much improved over the 73 percent observed
in 1995.

OPM also maintained its leadership in the direct deposit
program, an efficient means of ensuring that customers receive their annuity payment each month. Customer satisfaction levels with receipt of annuity checks are at 97 percent,
continuing another long-standing trend. During 1998, OPM
implemented a direct mail campaign to inform annuitants
and survivors of the convenience and desirability of direct
deposit. As a result, participation rose from 79 percent at
the start of 1998 to nearly 93 percent today.
In the health insurance program, the 2001 FEHB Program
benefit structure provides for parity in the provision of mental
health and substance abuse benefits with medical benefits.
In addition, OPM addressed patient safety, collaborating with
others in the health care industry to develop the ‘‘Five Steps
to Patient Safety.’’ These ‘‘Steps’’ have been widely adopted
both in and out of Government. OPM asked participating
health plans to report patient safety initiatives already adopted by them and to work with participating providers to articulate and disseminate information about the safety initiatives
they have put in practice. Health plans were asked to update
provider directories, where appropriate, to inform their membership of important safety measures. These initiatives include such practices as the use of automated entry systems
for prescription drugs, referring patients to recognized Centers of Excellence, and staffing appropriately for Intensive
Care Units. Other consumer protections and quality initiatives now provided by FEHBP plans include, but are not
limited to: transitional care for those with chronic or disabling
conditions; the right to review medical records and to correct
inaccurate ones; and direct access to women’s health care
providers.
To strengthen its leadership role in the health insurance
industry, OPM continues to build and maintain strong relationships with the National Committee for Quality Assurance
(NCQA), the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare
Organizations (JCAHO), the National Quality Forum, the
Quality Interagency Coordination (QuIC) Taskforce, the
Washington Business Group on Health, the Leapfrog Group,
the Health Care Financing Administration and other components of the Department of Health and Human Services.
These partnerships have been instrumental in promoting the
use of health care quality outcome measures by the Federal
Government and health care purchasers and providers
throughout the Nation. During 2001, OPM also gathered
Health Employees Data Information Sets (HEDIS) from participating FEHBP Health Maintenance Organizations and selected Preferred Provider Organizations.
The Long-Term Care Security Act of 2000 authorizes OPM
to offer long-term care insurance to approximately 20 million
people by October 2002. OPM plans to offer a flexible longterm care product, including provisions for nursing home care,
assisted living, home health care, and adult day care. Insurance will be offered to civil service, postal, and military personnel, and government retirees and specified relatives, including spouses, parents, parents-in-law, and stepparents.
OPM estimates that 300,000 to 600,000 individuals will enroll
during the first sign- up period in 2003. Enrollees will pay
the full cost of insurance premiums at group rates that are
expected to be 15 to 20 percent lower than rates for comparable coverage sold privately on an individual basis. Beginning in late 2001, OPM will issue regulations for the new
program and will oversee an education campaign to explain
long-term care options to employees and retirees. OPM will
assure that consumer materials and guidance are readily accessible (through mailings, the Internet, and toll free advice
and assistance phone lines), to help individuals make informed choices about purchasing the long-term care product(s).
In late 2000, legislation was enacted to provide relief to
employees who were placed in the wrong retirement system.

The Federal Erroneous Retirement Coverage Corrections Act
(FERCCA) allows most of these employees a choice in retirement plans. In 2001, OPM issued regulations and guidance
to implement the law, developed a web-based database of
individuals who may be eligible for relief under FERCCA,
developed a projection model to allow employees to simulate
benefits under the plans available to them, and entered into
a contract that will make it possible for each affected employee to receive one-on-one counseling and projections of benefits upon which to base an election decision. This counseling
activity will continue through 2002, along with the actions
necessary to effectuate eligible individuals’ decisions.
Workforce compensation and performance.—This activity includes; (a) developing and implementing pay and leave administration policy and evaluating the effectiveness of alternative
compensation systems; (b) developing classification policies
and systems and designing flexible alternatives to current
systems; and (c) developing Governmentwide policy concerning performance management.
Program performance.—The workforce compensation and
performance program area uses a variety of measures to identify its level of success. Overall customer service is measured
through OPM’s Customer Satisfaction Survey, surveys of
attendees at conferences, workshops, and/or seminars, and
feedback from users of our website and email. The 2000 HR
Directors’ Customer Satisfaction Survey showed that the percentage of human resources directors who were satisfied with
policy leadership in WCPS program areas were as follows;
87 percent in pay and leave administration, 78 percent in
performance management, 68 percent in position classification
and position management, and 62 percent in the Federal
Wage System. In 2000 the organization staged the second
Strategic Compensation Conference. On a five-point scale, the
average overall rating of the Conference was 4.23, an increase
from 4.14 for the 1999 Conference. The overall improvement
in perception of outcomes in WCPS program areas is demonstrated by the increase in positive responses in the National
Performance Review survey of more than 20,000 Federal employees. Favorable responses increased in one year from 26
percent to 31 percent on the question ‘‘are you clear about
how good performance is defined in your organization?’’ On
the issue ‘‘recognition and rewards are based on merit,’’ positive responses increased from 30 percent to 34 percent.
Investigations.—This activity focuses on assuring applicant
and appointee fitness and suitability, and oversight of the
investigative contract company.
Workforce relations.—This activity includes: (a) developing
govemmentwide policies, issuing guidance, and providing assistance to agencies on employee relations issues, including
actions based on misconduct and unacceptable performance,
as well as alternative dispute resolution; (b) promoting and
supporting Federal work/life and wellness programs; (c) providing leadership and policy guidance in support of agency
human resource development programs and training initiatives; and (d) providing guidance, information, and assistance
to agencies on collective bargaining and labor-management
relations to help them develop effective labor relations programs.
Program performance.—OPM’s workforce relations performance measures are designed to determine the value added
by OPM’s policy leadership and guidance on employee and
labor-management relations issues, work/life programs, and
human resource development programs. The Office of Workforce Relations (OWR) uses a variety of measures to identify
its level of success. For instance, surveys at regular intervals
assess the extent to which our customers feel that their needs
are met by OWR products and services such as printed and
electronic materials, conferences, seminars, and workshops,
as well as by legislative and regulatory proposals coming from
OWR.

This appropriation provides agency-wide audit, investigative, evaluation, inspection, and administrative sanction functions to identify management and administrative deficiencies
that may create conditions for fraud, waste, and mismanagement. The audits function provides internal agency audit,
insurance audit, and contract audit services. Contract audits
provide professional advice to agency contracting officials on
accounting and financial matters regarding the negotiation,
award, administration, repricing, and settlement of contracts.
Internal agency audits review and evaluate all facets of agency operations, including financial statements. Insurance audits review the operations of health and life insurance carriers, health care providers, and insurance subscribers. The
investigative function provides for the detection and investigation of improper and illegal activities involving programs, personnel, and operations. Administrative sanctions debar from
participation in the health insurance program those health
care providers whose conduct may pose a threat to the financial integrity of the program itself or to the well-being of
insurance program enrollees. These Inspector General activities resulted in positive financial impacts of approximately
$105 million, 15 criminal convictions, and 2,706 administrative sanctions in 2000.

DOD testing.—OPM conducts military entrance exams for
the Department of Defense (DOD) as a cost-effective and reliable provider. The Employment Service continued to provide
testing for the Department of Defense, conducting approximately 15,954 student test sessions and 23,364 enlistment
sessions.
Employment Service.—OPM delivers employment information, examining services, automated staffing, and related
human resource management services to Federal agencies nationwide. In 2000, we maintained contracts for a wide array
of human resource products and services with the Executive,
Legislative, and Judicial branches as well as state and municipal agencies.
Investigations.—Through a contract with a private company, OPM conducts National Agency Check and Inquiry
cases and background security investigations for Federal
agencies on a reimbursable basis. To the extent that OPM
is required to pay a fee to the Federal Bureau of Investigation
for name and fingerprint checks, agencies are required to
reimburse OPM for such fees through the revolving fund.
Workforce relations.—Through the Training and Management Assistance (TMA) program, OPM provides assistance
to government agencies in managing the development of
training and human resources management solutions that
meet their specific short-term and long-range objectives. This

is accomplished through an expedited contracting process,
which is managed by an experienced team of HR and contracting professionals.
Program performance.—The TMA performance indicators
are designed to measure the financial stability of the program
and customer satisfaction. The financial indicator measures
whether program costs are met. The customer satisfaction
indicator assures that TMA services are meeting the needs
and objectives of client agencies.
Executive resources.—OPM conducts residential and nonresidential programs for Federal executives and managers to
improve the effectiveness and efficiency of Federal programs.

This fund: (1) pays annuities to retired employees or their
survivors; (2) makes refunds to separated employees for
amounts withheld and to beneficiaries of employees who died
before retirement or before annuities equaled the amount
withheld; and (3) pays expenses of the Office of Personnel
Management and the Merit Systems Protection Board for administering the program. The fund covers two Federal civilian
retirement systems: the Civil Service Retirement System
(CSRS) and the Federal Employees’ Retirement System
(FERS).
CSRS is basically a defined benefit plan, covering Federal
employees hired prior to 1984. CSRS participants do not participate in the Social Security system. FERS is a three-tiered
pension program that uses Social Security as a base, provides
an additional basic benefit, and includes a thrift savings plan.
FERS covers employees hired after 1983 and formerly CSRScovered employees who elected to join FERS.

In determining a biweekly subscription rate to cover program costs, one percent is added for administrative expenses
and three percent is added for a contingency reserve held
by OPM for each carrier. OPM is authorized to transfer unused administrative reserve funds to the contingency reserve.
The REHB fund is available without fiscal year limitation.
The amounts contributed by the Government are paid into
the fund from annual appropriations. The number of participants at the end of each fiscal year are as follows:
2000 actual

2001 est.

2002 est.

Financing.—The funds are financed by: (1) withholdings
from active employees and annuitants; (2) agency contributions for active employees; (3) Government contributions for
annuitants appropriated to OPM; and (4) contributions made
by the United States Postal Service in accordance with the
provisions of Public Law 101–508 and Public Law 103–66.
Operating results.—Funds made available to carriers but
not used to pay claims in the current period are carried forward as special reserves for use in subsequent periods.
OPM maintains a contingency reserve, funded by employee
and Government contributions, that may be used to defray
future cost increases or provide increased benefits. OPM
makes payments to carriers from this reserve whenever carrier-held reserves fall below levels prescribed by OPM regulations or when carriers can demonstrate good cause such as
unexpected claims experience or variations from expected
community rates.
