Preparing for Change: What's in Your eOPF?

Why is it important to make sure your electronic Official Personnel Folder (eOPF) is up to date? Because eOPF documents are your federal work history. It’s where the Postal Service maintains your federal and military service records.

When preparing for upcoming organizational change, consider reviewing your eOPF to double check your service records for accuracy. Knowing the eOPF accurately reflects your postal, federal and military service can give you peace of mind when change takes place.

Check your eOPF by logging on to LiteBlue from your home computer — you can’t access eOPF from a postal workstation. Choosing “eOPF” from the Employee Apps – Quick Links section at the center of the LiteBlue home page will take you to the eOPF website.

Frequently Asked Questions about eOPF are available in the headings at the top of the page. After logging in using your Employee ID and USPS PIN, you’ll see a column labeled “Form ID,” a description of each form or document in the eOPF, and an effective date. You can then view and print out each document in the eOPF.

It’s recommended that you review your federal and military service and check if it’s correct. You also can check your Federal Employees’ Group Life Insurance Designation of Beneficiary and any other Designation of Beneficiary forms on file and make corrections if warranted. Beneficiary Forms are available on LiteBlue if you need to designate a beneficiary or make changes in current designations.

You can contact the Human Resources Shared Service Center at 877-477-3273, Option 5 (TDD/TYY: 866-260-7507) from 7:00 am to 8:30 pm Eastern Time, Monday through Friday. For technical assistance, call the IT Help Desk at 800-877-7435.
