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.
