eOPF Printing Issue
The eOPF system is experiencing a high volume of folder print requests causing slow processing times of up to 12 hours. We appreciate your patience as the system continues to process these requests in order of receipt. All other features of eOPF are working as expected and documents can still be viewed/downloaded individually by clicking the link for each document.
If your print request has not been completed within 12 hours, please send the print request ID and the date/time of submission (either as a screenshot or in plain text) to eopfhelpdesk@opm.gov and OPM will investigate further. Print requests that "Error" or are not available after clicking the "View" link may need to be requested again.
Overview
The electronic Official Personnel Folder (eOPF) allows each NIH employee to view their records online through an HHS connected computer. Documents in eOPF include notification of personnel actions (SF-50s), position descriptions, health and life insurance election forms, designation of beneficiary forms, and much more. Employees should receive an email notification when new documents are added to eOPF. Automated updates occur during the 3rd week after the effective date of the action.
