====================================
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is responsible for
personnel management functions which include the following activities:
Merit systems oversight and effectiveness.--This activity includes:
(a) evaluating human resources management (HRM) in Federal agencies
through various methods, including on-site reviews and special studies;
(b) administering classification appeals, Fair Labor Standards Act, and
Intergovernmental Personnel programs to ensure that agencies adhere to
the statutory requirements; (c) helping agencies develop merit-based HRM
accountability systems to support mission accomplishment; (d) assessing
the effectiveness of Governmentwide HRM policies and programs and
serving as a clear
[[Page 1068]]
inghouse for best practices; (e) testing and evaluating innovative HRM
practices and systems, including demonstration projects under 5 U.S.C.
Chapter 47; (f) providing readily accessible statistics on the Federal
workforce; and (g) administering parts of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
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. The questionnaire was streamlined for 2000
and beyond. In 2000 and 2001 OPM will conduct 15 to 16 nationwide agency
oversight reviews to ensure compliance with Federal Civil Service merit
principles.
Employment service.--The Employment Service provides leadership and
manages the merit-based employment system for the Federal government. In
partnership with agencies, the Service provides a high-quality, diverse
workforce through a mix of policy direction, technical assistance, and
reimbursable services in the following areas: employment information;
assessment; merit-based staffing services; veterans' preference;
workforce diversity; automated human resources management systems;
workforce restructuring and placement, and organizational analysis and
improvement. These operations are carried out through a network of
Service Centers throughout the country. Special emphasis in 2000 and
2001 will continue to be given to improving Federal employment
opportunities for adults with disabilities and Hispanic Americans, and
to enhancing 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 14.8
million people in 1999 through a nationwide system available 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week, by telephone, fax, internet, and touch screen
kiosks. USAJOBS averages more than 40,000 visits daily. This is a
seventy percent increase from the previous year and is expected to
continue to grow.
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
1999, they revised the delegation handbook and developed a new training
program.
In 1999, the Employment Service promptly issued regulations
implementing new laws, such as the Veterans Employment Opportunity Act,
and changes in voluntary early retirement authority. It also implemented
Presidential initiatives, such as hiring persons with disabilities and
eliminated approximately 46 redundant excepted appointment authorities.
In 1999 the Employment Service began a competency-based study of the
information technology (IT) occupation. When completed in 2000, this
study will form the foundation of a Federal Cyber Services (FCS)
initiative, designed to strengthen the information security (IS)
occupation in the workforce. In 2000 and 2001, Centers of IT Excellence,
sources of IT training for Federal employees, will be identified; a
scholarship-for-service program will be developed (with the National
Science Foundation) to provide undergraduate and graduate support in
exchange for government service; and a high school outreach program will
be designed and tested.
In 1999, the Employment Service assisted over 9,500 employees with
outplacement assistance and selection priority for other Federal jobs.
Nearly 4,300 of these individuals were placed in other positions within
the same agency. Another 183 were rehired through the Reemployment
Priority List.
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. In 2000, the Administration proposed a new program 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.--During 2001, modernization of the Federal
Employee Retirement Systems will continue. The Retirement Systems
Modernization Project (RSM) will shift from blueprint planning to
initiation of the core applications that will transform the provision of
Retirement services. 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 continued, as 96 percent of customers reported
they were generally to very satisfied with OPM's overall retirement
services.
OPM continued efforts to expand and improve its telecommunications
services. Toll-free telephone access is provided to all call centers,
and the number of customer service representatives provided to answer
incoming customer calls during 2000 increased 20 percent over 1999.
Customers are also better served by the extended hours of operations at
the Pittsburgh center where calls can now be received until 8:00 PM. In
addition, interactive features were added to the OPM web site so that
annuitants can make the same changes to their payment accounts as they
can through the Agency's toll-free interactive telephone system. The
increase in these interactive self-service technologies and the
increased capacity for handling telephone inquiries resulted in a 26
percent increase in the volume of telephone calls both received and
handled compared to 1998 volumes. Customer satisfaction levels regarding
the courtesy, clarity, and timeliness of telephone services remains high
at 90 percent.
The volume of new annuity claims remained steady. OPM received and
processed an average of 86,600 Civil Service and Federal Employee
Retirement Systems annuity claims annually over the past five years. The
processing times for interim annuity payments were reduced
significantly, from 7 days in 1995 to 3.4 days today, with 40 percent of
these payments being authorized within one day of receiving retirement
applications at OPM. During the same time frame, the
[[Page 1069]]
time needed to calculate and begin paying retirees their final annuity
has steadily decreased.
OPM also maintained its leadership in the direct deposit program to
ensure that customers receive their annuity payment on time each month.
During 1998, a direct mail campaign was implemented by OPM to inform
annuitants and survivors of the convenience and desirability of direct
deposit. At the start of 1998, 79 percent of annuity payments were made
by electronic funds transfer. Spurred by OPM's campaign, participation
continues to grow and today, nearly 92 percent of annuitants receive
their payments this way.
In the health insurance program, during 2000, OPM fully implemented
the Patients' Bill of Rights across the entire Federal Employees Health
Benefits (FEHBP) Program. This included publishing final regulations
that prohibit health plans from limiting the disclosures physicians may
make to patients regarding treatment options.
To strengthen its leadership role in the health insurance industry,
OPM continued to build and maintain strong relationships with the
National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), the Joint Commission on
Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), the Health Care
Financing Administration and other components of the Department of
Health and Human Services, and the Foundation for Accountability
(FAACT). 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 2000,
OPM also gathered Health Employees Data Information Sets (HEDIS) data
from FEHBP participating Health Maintenance Organizations and selected
Preferred Provider Organizations. During 2001, congruent with activities
of the Federal Quality Interagency Coordination (QuIC) Task Force, OPM
will provide guidance to the FEHBP participating carriers on instituting
initiatives to improve health care quality through the prevention of
medical errors and enhancements in patient safety. In addition, in 2001,
the FEHB Program's benefit structure will, for the first time, provide
for parity in the provision of mental health and substance abuse
benefits with medical benefits.
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 employee 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. The 1999 survey showed that at least 68 percent of
human resources specialists were satisfied with information sharing in
each program area, and at least 66 percent were satisfied with technical
assistance in each program area. Ninety-two percent of specialists were
satisfied with guidance materials dealing with Federal salary tables,
the highest single rating on the entire survey. In 1999 the Workforce
Compensation and Performance Service staged the first Strategic
Compensation Conference. Eighty-seven percent of attendees rated it good
to excellent overall. The latest editions of the Human Resources HRCD-
ROM have been expanded to include additional information on salary
tables and performance-related documents, and the human resources
specialists increased their satisfaction rating with the materials from
76 percent in 1998 to 78 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 and
administering policies, regulations and guidelines on employee
relations, including adverse and performance-based actions and violence
in the workplace; (b) facilitating and supporting Federal work and
family programs; (c) providing leadership and policy guidance in support
of agency human resource development programs and training technology
initiatives; and (d) providing guidance and assistance to Federal
agencies on labor-management relations and partnership, including
managing the activities of the national Partnership Council on behalf of
the Council Chair.
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 and
family 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, and
conferences, seminars, and workshops, as well as by legislative and
regulatory proposals coming from OWR.
Executive resources.--This activity provides Government-wide program
leadership, policy direction and technical assistance on all aspects of
the Senior Executive Service personnel system and comparable executive
systems.
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.--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 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. 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 positive financial impact approximately $52
million in 1999. This request includes an additional $0.5 million above
the approved 2000 resource level to implement P.L. 105-266, The Health
Care Protection Act of 1998, and conduct performance audits of agency
programs. These additional resources will enhance the Inspector
General's ability to protect the integrity of the Federal Employees'
Health Benefits Program, assist OPM in recovering funds improperly paid
to health care providers, and improve the economy and efficiency of
program operations.

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 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 FEHB fund is available for
payments without fiscal year limitation. Numbers of participants at the
end of each fiscal year are as follows:
1999 actual 2000 est. 2001 est.
Active employees.................... 2,272 2,262 2,262
Annuitants.......................... 1,851 1,859 1,869
------------------------------------
Total........................... 4,123 4,121 4,131
====================================
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:
1999 actual 2000 est. 2001 est.
Uniform plan........................ 1,300 1,100 900
Private plans....................... 4,200 3,500 2,900
------------------------------------
Total........................... 5,500 4,600 3,800
====================================
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 Administration will propose legislation that will help control
the future rate of growth of FEHB premiums by leveraging the purchasing

effect FEHBP enrollments necessary to comply with State court orders.
