Do you trust HR Shared Services and OPM to do everything right about your retirement?  If not, be sure to download your entire eOPF, earnings statements in ePayroll, W-2s in PostalEASE and anything else you want at https://liteblue.usps.gov before your retirement.  Access to your stuff on LiteBlue will be gone after separation.

 

Some postal employees have problems with OPM after retirement and end up needing these documents.  To download your entire eOPF, click on “Access Personnel Folder Now!” and choose “Print Entire eOPF.”  Be patient as it takes a few minutes to generate the PDF file.  When done, you’ll find it in a small box at the lower left corner of your screen.  Expand the PDF box.  You can save it to your computer or print it out.

If eligible for an incentive payment, don’t forget to give your employing office the address where you want your incentive payment to be sent.  The incentive agreement stipulates that eligible employees will complete PS Form 3077, Request to Forward Salary Check, and submit it to their employing office.

In the absence of a PS Form 3077, incentive payments will be mailed to the location where you last worked.  You can download the PS Form 3077 at:

Some postal employees have had problems updating their mailing address.  The links at LiteBlue to “Update Your Address” and “Change of Address” have not worked for several months.  This would be another reason to submit PS Form 3077.
