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 clearinghouse 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.
[[Page 1080]]
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, on-line 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 program-wide 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 often-used 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.
[[Page 1081]]
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 long-term 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.
[[Page 1082]]
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. 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
[[Page 1085]]
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 non-residential
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
CSRS-covered employees who elected to join FERS.

This display combines the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB)
fund and the Retired Employees Health Benefits (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 Federal 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:
2000 actual 2001 est. 2002 est.
Active employees.................... 2,220,000 2,348,000 2,305,000
Annuitants.......................... 1,864,000 1,882,000 1,889,000
------------------------------------
Total........................... 4,084,000 4,230,000 4,194,000
====================================
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.
Uniform plan........................ 1,081 900 750
Private plans....................... 3,484 2,900 2,400
------------------------------------
Total........................... 4,565 3,800 3,150
====================================
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.
