The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is responsible for
personnel management functions which include the following activities:
Employment service.--The Employment Service Program operates a
nationwide system of employment information and assists agencies in
managing the dynamics of their work force--recruitment, hiring, internal
placement, promotion, and downsizing--through broad policy principles,
technical assistance, research, automated systems, and examination
services. These operations are carried out through a network of Service
Centers throughout the country.
Program performance.--The Employment Service's performance
management program consists of program goals, customer service
standards, and performance measures. It seeks to provide accurate,
timely, accessible employment information to job seekers; high quality,
cost-effective examining services to agencies; and simple, effective and
merit based staffing policies for the Federal government. Surveys
conducted in 1995 showed that 87 percent of agency customers rated
staffing and recruiting products ``4'' or better on an increasing 1-5
scale. Surveys of the public on courtesy, timeliness, responsiveness and
knowledge found 83 to 95 percent ``satisfied'' or ``very satisfied''. An
average of 82 percent of users of various automated job information
systems indicated they got the information they needed.
Executive resources.--This activity provides governmentwide program
leadership, policy direction and technical assistance on all aspects of
the Senior Executive Service personnel system and comparable executive
systems.
[[Page 916]]
Retirement and insurance.--This activity administers retirement and
insurance programs for Federal employees and retired Federal employees.
These programs include the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund,
the Employees Life Insurance Fund, and the Employees and Retired
Employees Health Benefits Funds.
Program performance.--Retirement and insurance programs have
measured workloads and outcomes, including using surveys, for some time.
Customer service standards and year-end reports on performance were
added this past year.
In the retirement area, OPM reduced the time to make a first interim
annuity payment from 11.5 days in 1994 to 8 days in 1995. Finalizing an
annuity account dropped from 89 days to 79 days for the same period.
Adjudication of CSRS annuity claims error rates dropped from 7 percent
to 6 percent in those years. Customer surveys revealed that 90 percent
of new annuitants were ``generally'' or ``very'' satisfied with OPM's
processing of their retirement application. Eighty-two percent of those
surveyed said OPM did a ``good'' to ``very good'' job in providing
professional and personalized information about their retirement
application. Ninety percent of survivors of deceased retirees applying
for benefits were ``generally'' or ``very'' satisfied with efforts to
streamline paperwork. Seventy-seven percent of established customers
said they were ``generally'' or ``very'' satisfied with how actions on
their accounts were handled, and 83 percent of both new and established
beneficiaries felt that OPM was courteous and helpful when reached by
telephone.
In the insurance area, survey respondents indicated that having
performance standards was important, and that they were ``generally
satisfied'' with services provided, rating them between 4.0 and 4.4 on
an ascending scale of 5. The surveys and measures also revealed areas
where service levels need to be improved. Telephone contacts and
timeliness and quality of disputed insurance claims decisions were the
most prominent areas identified for improvement. OPM is now taking steps
to address both of these areas.
Investigations.--This activity focuses on assuring applicant and
appointee fitness and suitability.
Human resources systems.--This activity includes: (a) developing and
implementing pay and leave administration policy and evaluating the
effectiveness of alternative compensation systems; (b) managing employee
relations and promoting labor-management partnerships; (c) developing
classification policies and systems and designing flexible alternatives
to current systems; (d) promoting and providing state-of-the-art data
systems for workforce information to support and inform policy decision-
making, and providing technical assistance for streamlining personnel
recordkeeping and processing procedures; (e) facilitating and supporting
Federal work and family programs; and (f) providing policy guidance and
management assistance in support of agency human resource development
programs.
Merit systems oversight and effectiveness.--This activity includes:
(a) direct oversight of human resources management (HRM) in Federal
agencies through various methods, including on-site evaluation; (b)
assisting agencies in developing merit-based internal HRM accountability
systems which support mission accomplishment; (c) assessing the
effectiveness of governmentwide HRM policies and programs; (d) testing
and evaluating innovative Federal HRM practices and systems, including
demonstration projects under 5 U.S.C. Chapter 47; and (e) administering
parts of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Administrative services.--This activity includes: OPM personnel and
equal employment opportunity; security, facilities, telecommunications,
publishing, acquisitions, and information resources management to
support all OPM programs.
Executive and other services.--This activity includes: executive
direction; policy development; legal advice and representation; public
affairs; legislative activities; financial management; and the operating
expenses of the President's Commission on White House Fellows.
Reimbursable programs.--The OPM performs reimbursable work at the
request of other agencies. OPM also provides administrative, information
resources management, and executive services to other OPM accounts on a
reimbursable basis.

This appropriation provides agencywide audit, investigative,
evaluation, inspection, and administrative sanction functions to
identify management and administrative deficiencies which 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 audits review and evaluate all facets of agency
operations, including financial statements. Evaluation and inspection
services provide detailed technical evaluations of agency operations.
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 recoveries in excess of $48 million in FY 1995.

====================================
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
CSRS-covered employees who elected to join FERS.
This schedule reflects the delay of cost-of-living adjustments for
CSRS and FERS annuitants until March 1 in 1995 and 1996, as required by
P.L. 103-66, The Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1993. This schedule also
reflects the proposal to limit pay increases in 1997.

This display combines the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB)
fund and the Retired Employees Health Benefit (REHB) fund.
The FEHB fund provides for the cost of health benefits for: (1)
active employees; (2) employees who retired after June 1960, or their
survivors; (3) those annuitants transferred from the REHB program as
authorized by Public Law 93-246; and (4) the related expenses of the
Office of Personnel Management (OPM) in administering the program.
The REHB fund, created by the Retired Employees Health Benefits Act
of 1960, provides for: (1) the cost of health benefits for retired
employees and survivors who enroll in a Government-sponsored uniform
health benefits plan; (2) the contribution to retired employees and
survivors who retain or purchase private health insurance; and (3)
expenses of OPM in administering the program.
Budget program.--The balance of the EHB fund is available for
payments without fiscal year limitation. Numbers of participants at the
end of each fiscal year are as follows:
1995 actual 1996 est. 1997 est.
Active employees.................... 2,282,000 2,254,000 2,225,000
Annuitants.......................... 1,771,000 1,794,000 1,815,000
------------------------------------
Total........................... 4,053,000 4,048,000 4,040,000
====================================
In determining a biweekly subscription rate to cover program costs,
one percent is added for administrative expense 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.
In accordance with P.L. 103-66, this schedule includes the following
adjustments: (1) the ``Phantom Big 6'' formula for determining the
maximum Government contribution toward FEHB premiums has been extended
through the 1996 contract year; (2) in contract years 1997 and 1998, the
average premium for the indemnity plan in the ``Phantom Big 6'' formula
will be modified to account for the average premium
[[Page 924]]
increase in the remaining ``Big 5'' plans minus one percentage point;
(3) beginning in the 1999 contract year, the maximum government
contribution will be 60 percent of the average of the premiums for the
remaining ``Big 5'' plans; (4) Medicare Part B fee limits have been
applied to all FEHB annuitants; and (5) the Postal Service will make
additional payments of $116 million per year for fiscal years 1996,
1997, and 1998 to cover the cost of past retiree health benefits.
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:
1995 actual 1996 est. 1997 est.
Uniform plan........................ 2,610 2,000 1,000
Private plans....................... 9,173 8,000 7,000
------------------------------------
Total........................... 11,783 10,000 8,000
Financing.--The funds are financed by: (1) withholdings from active
employees and annuitants; (2) agency contributions for active employees,
appropriated to agencies; (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.
