Feds...Stop now and get your eOPF.
NOTE: You must sign in from a Federal IP address to access eOPF.
See attached guide created by the Department of Commerce for accessing the site and navigating download of your documents.
(NOTE: The URL in the guide is specific to Commerce (".../doc/"). You will need to know your URL for your specific agency.)
There are reports that users can no longer access the system with valid active passwords and that those who need updated eOPF passwords can no longer request links to update their passwords.
Once in, you can email the password protected file to yourself.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The password to open the file is your last name and print request number found in the first column of the screen that pops up that your file is queued (you may have more than one file...save all numbers).
You'll type them in together, like "doe123456". Keep that info in a safe place so you can access your file(s) later.
Keep your eOPF on a non-Federal device.
Should you separate from service involuntarily or through resignation, there is no current guarantee you will be able to access your records again.
If you plan to retire, your agency HR rep should advise you that once retired your eOPF is no longer available to you; you must download a copy BEFORE you submit your retirement package. This is important so you can answer an questions from OPM during the adjudication of your retirement case.
If you find records are missing from your eOPF, contact HR immediately and BEFORE you hit send on a resignation or for your retirement package. They will do a records search in the archives (if you were a Fed before eOPFs were a thing and everything was paper). If you have copies of missing documents, forward a scanned copy to your HR rep.
ACCURACY OF YOUR EOPF CONTENTS IS CRUCIAL FOR REDUCTION IN FORCE PURPOSES!
If you find you do not have a copy of your eOPF and--
▶️ your password is valid but not working or
▶️ you've requested an update link for one with no response, and after that
▶️ you appear to be locked out,
▶️ contact your agency HR office and
▶️ consider contacting your elected official (or have a friend or family member do it on your behalf, if you have concerns).
You are entitled to a copy of your eOPF.
(Instructions for some agencies may vary. Contact your agency HR if you need more details.)
