Retirement System Modernization |
11/02-Present
|
Retirement Systems Modernization (RSM) will provide Federal employees
ready access to their Federal government retirement account
information, regardless of their current agency affiliation. RSM will
convert—from paper to electronic media—the historical
retirement records maintained at the OPM Retirement Operations Center
for the current Federal workforce, which is currently estimated at 2.7
million employees. This will allow for greater use of advanced decision
tools by beneficiaries, OPM, and agency HR staff while reducing the
costs of storing and managing large amounts of paper. The first phase
of the 5 year development lifecycle is scheduled to launch in mid
October, 2003.
