It is OPM’s mission to have a highly qualified and diverse
Federal workforce, one based on merit system principles that
America needs to guarantee freedom, promote prosperity, and
ensure the security of this great Nation. The 2005 budget
will allow OPM to help deliver on President Bush’s promise
to improve the Federal Government and provide the highest
possible quality of service to the American taxpayers.
OPM responded to President Bush’s call to make homeland
security and the defeat of terrorism the Nation’s top priority.
OPM directed resources toward initiatives that had an immediate impact on the Government’s ability to protect and defend our Nation and respond to emergencies, including the
design and implementation of emergency hiring flexibilities
and building the new Department of Homeland Security
(DHS), which involved pulling together 170,000 employees
from 22 different agencies.
Additionally, President Bush has identified the Strategic
Management of (the Federal Government’s) Human Capital
as one of his Administration’s top priorities and directed that
OPM be responsible for making it happen. OPM is committed
to the President’s Management Agenda (PMA) and has made
Federal agency performance in implementing the Strategic
Management of Human Capital a measure of OPM’s own
success.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2005

Federal Funds—Continued

General and special funds—Continued
SALARIES
(INCLUDING

AND

EXPENSES—Continued

TRANSFER OF TRUST FUNDS)—Continued

To ensure that OPM was organized to carry out its new
roles and responsibilities, the agency successfully implemented a major overhaul and restructuring, aligning resources to Strategic Plan goals and reorganized 12
‘‘stovepiped’’ components into four central divisions to form
a more results-oriented structure to deliver results and value
to the community of Federal agencies and the American people. 2004 is the first full year that OPM is operating in
its new structure. The newly restructured OPM is providing
more efficient service and better coordinated responses to the
human capital needs of Federal agencies.
Building on this success, the 2005 budget will allow OPM
to advance the agenda of supporting Federal employees and
their work to protect National Security and implementing
long-term human capital strategies that deliver results for
the American people. Through its leadership in the Governmentwide effort to transform Human Capital Management,
OPM is creating an environment in which agencies are held
accountable for managing their workforce.
The functions and objectives of the restructured OPM are:
1. Strategic Human Resources Policy (SHRP)—strives to:
(1) Ensure agencies use OPM policy and guidance to develop
and maintain the capacity of their workforce to continue to
meet and improve their strategic performance targets; (2) Implement new Human Resource systems; (3) Provide the Federal Government with a modern compensation system that
is performance-oriented, market-sensitive, and assists Federal
agencies in meeting their strategic goals; and (4) Increase
the effectiveness and efficiency of the Federal hiring process
and make Federal employment attractive to high-quality applicants of diverse backgrounds. In 2003, OPM helped set
up the Department of Homeland Security and implemented
other aspects of the Homeland Security and Chief Human
Capital Officers Acts, all of which had an immediate impact
on the Government’s capacity for homeland security and the
war on terrorism. Also, OPM’s Recruitment One-Stop initiative, through which agencies can advertise job vacancies and
job seekers can apply for these vacancies, expanded the capabilities of the USAJOBS Federal Employment Information
System and became a single application point to streamline
the Federal employment application process. During 2004, the
Enterprise Human Resources Integration project will provide
a model and supporting tools for workforce planning, analysis
and forecasting to improve human capital management. In
2005, OPM will continue to lead the design, development,
and implementation of innovative, flexible, merit-based
human resource policies and strategies that will aid Federal
agencies in adopting human resource management systems
that improve their ability to build successful high performance organizations.
Program Performance.—As part of a larger effort to improve
the hiring process, OPM will develop new and improved data
collection methods to solicit input from new hires, employees,
managers, and human capital staff in areas ranging from
Federal hiring and pay/benefit systems to leadership, accountability, and workforce planning. Additionally, OPM will continue to implement changes to the Federal Employees Health
Benefits Program (FEHBP) to maximize resources and obtain
the flexibilities that produce the most cost beneficial benefits
package.
2. Human Capital Leadership and Merit System Accountability (HCLMSA)—leads the transformation of Human Capital Management by providing technical support to Federal
agencies so they can better accomplish their missions through
effective human capital programs and practices that integrate
technology and by measuring their results. OPM helped agen-

cies use new hiring flexibilities provided by the Homeland
Security Act, such as direct-hire authority, category rating,
academic degree training authority, and voluntary early retirement authority. In addition, OPM assisted agencies in
their human capital management, which resulted in more
agencies showing an improved status in PMA—Strategic Management of Human Capital (SMHC). OPM will continue to
conduct periodic evaluations of agency human resource operations to assess compliance with merit system principles, law
and regulations, including efficiency and effectiveness. OPM
will hold agencies accountable for their efforts to diversify
their workforce and uphold veterans’ preference. In addition,
OPM will promote and manage innovative departmental and
agency demonstration projects as well as consult with stakeholder groups to support the strategic management and transformation of human capital. OPM will also conduct feedback
and action planning with focus groups and management to
address opportunities identified through surveys. In 2005,
OPM will continue to work with all agencies to help them
implement further the PMA–SMHC and move their human
capital scorecards toward ‘‘Green.’’ OPM will also work with
agencies to address human capital competency gaps and
knowledge transfer management, and to establish and implement agency accountability systems for human resources
management that assess agency adherence to merit system
principles and supporting requirements. Furthermore, OPM
will ensure that agencies implement investigative policies and
standards to ensure that Federal employees meet certain necessary suitability standards.
Program Performance.—OPM will develop an enhanced
Federal Human Capital Survey (FHCS) to measure human
capital accountability across Government. The FHCS will provide broad governmentwide indicators of the status of federal
human capital that would benefit lawmakers, managers, employees, and citizens. OPM administered the FHCS in 2002
to over 200,000 employees. In 2005, OPM will improve upon
the function and applicability of the FHCS to realize the
full potential of the tool as a measure of Human Capital
Transformation Accountability. Also, OPM will continue to
train HR personnel to improve their counseling with employees and annuitants on federal benefit programs.
3. Human Resources Products and Services (HRPS)—is committed to: (1) Provide direct human capital products and services that are cost-effective, relevant and useful to agencies;
(2) Facilitate retirement income security for Federal employees by making the transition from active employment to retirement seamless and expeditious; (3) Allow Federal employees, annuitants and their families to choose from among quality and fiscally responsible carriers to address their specific
insurance needs.
During 2004, OPM will continue to reengineer the retirement systems. OPM will implement the full electronic exchange of information for imaging and convert existing employee retirement files to electronic format. By reengineering
processes and updating technology, OPM will be able to deliver retirement services in a more timely, cost-efficient way
while also expanding the number of services. Additionally,
OPM will add functionality to a retirement benefits calculator
and estimator tool that will process over 90% of the FERS
workload and improve CSRS benefits calculation. OPM also
will continue to provide Federal retirees and their dependents
with health insurance benefits, and will upgrade telephone
systems and supplement in-house staff capacity through contractor assistance to provide customer service to retirees.
OPM will continue to provide a range of reimbursable products and services including recruitment, assessment, selection,
and staffing to help agencies meet their human capital needs.
OPM will ensure the fitness and suitability of applicants for,
and appointees to, positions in the Federal service, including
conducting background investigations for Federal agencies.

OPM

OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

OPM will continue to negotiate and contract with private
insurance companies to offer a flexible range of health insurance benefits, and will provide technical oversight, execution
and maintenance of the newly offered Flexible Spending Accounts program.
Program performance.—OPM establishes annual performance goals and objectives designed to achieve long-term strategic goals. Customer service is measured through OPM’s
Customer Satisfaction Survey, surveys of attendees at conferences, workshops, and/or seminars, and feedback from
users of the OPM website and email. Progress is monitored
through program performance indicators.
The Retirement Systems Modernization (RSM) project is
OPM’s central strategy for meeting its long term retirement
program customer service, financial management, business
process, and workforce performance goals. OPM is moving
from a paper-based to an electronic record keeping system.
During 2003, the RSM project continued to work on implementation segments, electronic data planning and foundation
elements. Two critical factors have influenced the course of
this project: the need to evaluate and leverage recent advancements from e-Gov projects, and the need to thoroughly assess
alternatives to implementing RSM.
In 2005, RSM will continue to capture and convert retirement-related paper and electronic data at the agencies as
well as paper files at the Retirement Operations Center facility. RSM will begin to establish electronic portals to receive
recurring feeds of agency data, as well as to move to production-level use of the Coverage Determination Application.
OPM processes 170,000 Civil Service and Federal Employees’ Retirement System (CSRS and FERS) annuity and survivor claims annually. Since 2000, the processing time for
interim annuity payments has been reduced from five days
to an average of three days and in 2003, nearly 71 percent
of interim payments were authorized within one to five days.
As OPM leveraged technology investments to increase its
claims processing capacity and efficiency, FERS claims processing times dropped from 185 days in 2000 to 82 days in
2003. OPM projects FERS claims processing times will be
76 days in 2005.
By constructing benefit choices that are comprehensive and
competitive for Federal employees, OPM seeks to enable agencies to be competitive employers to recruit and retain talent
needed to meet their missions. For 2004, OPM negotiated
health insurance premiums in the Federal Employees Health
Benefits Program (FEHBP) that were held below the national
average increase and Federal employees will have 205 health
plan choices. Beginning in 2004, Federal employees can review health insurance carriers’ initiatives and programs for
patient safety in addition to the decision-support tools and
a plan-comparison feature available on the FEHBP website.
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) became available to Federal employees beginning July 1, 2003. The FSA program
allows deductions from pretax salary of employees, which can
be used to pay for eligible medical expenses and dependentcare expenses not covered under the Federal Employees
Health Benefits Program. The program has nearly 120,000
Federal accounts with a third party administrator. To make
sure that the FSA program remains competitive, OPM allows
over-the-counter drugs and medicines, in accordance with IRS
guidelines, to be covered under the program and has increased the FSA allowance for medical expenses to $4,000
per year.
The Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP)
authorized under the Long-Term Care Security Act of 2000,
has about 200,000 enrollees. The program features customized
plans in the areas of coverage, benefits and waiting periods
or participants have the choice of four pre-packaged plans.
The program has been expanded to include new groups eligible to apply for this insurance, some District of Columbia

government employees, entitled Federal deferred annuitants
and certain eligible reservists.
The Administration will work with stakeholders to better
coordinate the Medicare and Federal Employees Health Benefits programs and look to the practice of the private sector
to ensure high quality, cost-conscious choices for retirees.
These important programs jointly finance health insurance
for about 2 million Federal retirees and their dependents.
4. Management Services—Includes: OPM human resources,
equal employment opportunity, security, facilities, telecommunications, publishing, acquisitions, information resources management, strategic planning and financial management to support all of OPM’s goals. In 2005, this organization will continue to develop and enhance the evaluation function formed in 2004 to assess the use and impact of OPM
programs in a unified and coordinated manner.
5. Executive Services—Includes: executive direction, legal
advice and representation, public affairs, legislative activities,
and the operating expenses of the President’s commission on
White House Fellows.
6. Reimbursable Programs.—OPM provides administrative,
information resources management, and executive services to
other OPM accounts on a reimbursable basis. OPM also performs a small amount of reimbursable work under the Economy Act at the request of other agencies.

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, abuse, and mismanagement. The audits function provides internal agency
audit, insurance audit, contract audit, and information systems 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. Information systems audits review
both general controls and application controls for the agency’s
systems and programs. 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 $116 million, 24 criminal convictions, and 3,827 administrative sanctions in 2002.
These Inspector General activities resulted in positive financial impacts of approximately $40 million, 13 criminal
convictions, and 3405 administrative sanctions in 2003.
Additional resources in 2004 will finance more audit staff,
special agent criminal investigators, and improved information systems. OPM expects to reduce the audit cycle to 2.9
years for FEHBP carriers. Total recoveries are expected to
increase by $14 million annually.
In 2005, OPM will add audits of pharmacy benefit managers and expand the scope of audits for the largest community-rated health plans (comprehensive medical plans commonly referred to as health maintenance organizations) participating in FEHBP.

OPM’s Revolving Fund supports the President’s Management Agenda by fully or partially funding three e-Government
projects: e-Clearance; e-Training; and Recruitment One-Stop.
The Revolving Fund also provides financing on a reimbursable
basis for several products and services to Federal agencies.
Talent Services.—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.
Much of the Training Management Assistance (TMA) workload supports development of training programs for anti-terrorism, emergency preparedness, and intelligence activities
at the U.S. Customs Service, Department of Defense (DOD),
U.S. Air Force, Federal Aviation Administration, Federal
Emergency Management Agency, and the Immigration and
Naturalization Service. About 250 programs are managed annually.
OPM delivers employment information, testing and recruiting services, automated staffing, and related human resource
management services to Federal agencies nationwide. Nationwide testing involves work planning, scheduling, and administration of written examinations upon request from agencies
including the DOD and the Department of Homeland Security.
Investigations.—Through contracts with private companies,
OPM conducts National Agency Check and Inquiry cases and
background security/suitability investigations for Federal
agencies on a reimbursable basis through the Revolving Fund.
When OPM is required to pay fees for national, State, or
other records provided, agencies are also required to reimburse OPM for such fees through the Revolving Fund.
The Defense Authorization Act of 2004 provided OPM the
option to accept a transfer of functions and personnel from
the Department of Defense, Defense Security Service (DSS).
The Director of OPM has statutory discretion to accept or
decline full transfer of functions and personnel from DSS.
No decision has been made at this time for a full transfer
of functions in either 2004 or 2005. The figures that appear
in the Budget Appendix are illustrative only if such a transfer
occurs and are subject to change.
In 2004, OPM will partner with DSS to provide certain
investigative services as an initial step toward building an
integrated program. OPM agreed to accept for automated
processing through the Revolving Fund over 350,000 new DSS
requests for investigative services. In addition, OPM plans
to enter into a reimbursable agreement with DSS to cover
all costs associated with the use of OPM’s automated processing infrastructure for field investigations and any training
required for DSS staff.
OPM may accept a full transfer of activities and employees
from DSS. OPM may provide a full range of services to DSS—
including all accounting functions such as billings and collections—through a cross servicing agreement. All reimbursable
investigative work and related functions such as billings, collections, and associated preparation and instruction on use
of OPM systems will be completed by the OPM Federal staff
or through contracts with private companies for investigative
services, and will be carried out through the Revolving Fund.
This language appears concurrently in the DOD chapter
of the Budget Appendix. In addition, the schedules/tables in
the Appendix include a footnote qualifying the budget, workload and FTE estimates.

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 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.
The Budget proposes that the United States Patent and
Trademark Office (PTO) will fund the full cost for retirement
pay for PTO’s employees covered under the Civil Service Retirement System.

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.
The budget proposes that the United States Patent and
Trademark Office (PTO) will fund the accruing costs associated with post-retirement health benefits for PTO’s employees.
