Executive Summary
For more than 40 years, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has served its mission to champion talent for the Federal Government, the largest employer in the country. As we lead Federal agencies in evolving workforce policies, programs, and benefits in service to the American people, we remain true to the principles embedded in the law of an impartial, inclusive, professional civil service based on merit, where employees should be judged only on how well they can do the job. In addition to providing agencies with the tools they need to recruit, hire, and retain a well-qualified workforce in America, the agency also manages the healthcare and insurance programs for Federal employees and their eligible family members and administers the retirement benefits for Federal annuitants and their eligible beneficiaries.
FY 2024 Budget Overview
OPM is engaged in a multi-year transformation process to stabilize the agency’s capacity to meet our broad mission, deliver on Biden-Harris Administration priorities, and drive modernization to solve human capital challenges identified in our FY 2022-2026 Strategic Plan. To support these imperatives, OPM requests $461,764,000 in discretionary resources for FY 2024 for OPM’s services to the Federal Government, its employees, retirees, and the American people. This request includes $37,675,056 to implement the Postal Service Health Benefits program.
This budget request builds on OPM’s FY 2023 budget, which provided needed funding to continue stabilizing OPM operations and execute on Administration priorities, including those identified in Priority 1 of the President’s Management Agenda, focused on “strengthening and empowering the Federal workforce.” The incremental funding in this FY 2024 budget request will fund critical modernization efforts and the implementation of the Postal Service Health Benefits Program (PSHBP) as required by law.
The FY 2024 budget request will incrementally fund investment in OPM’s IT Modernization more generally, including migrating the OPM legacy mainframes from their current physical data centers to cloud technology, and enhancing critical cybersecurity capabilities. In addition to productivity and cybersecurity enhancements, funding OPM’s mainframe transition to the cloud in FY 2024 will allow OPM to realize cost savings for the American taxpayer, as it will avoid the much higher cost of replacing on-premise mainframes that currently underpin many of our IT systems. Similarly, requested cybersecurity investments will allow OPM to maintain acceptable risk levels – as cybersecurity threats continually evolve and become more sophisticated, requiring investment to stay current with best practices and recent Executive Orders.
In addition to modernizing technology, this FY 2024 budget request will also invest in modernizing OPM’s policy framework around Federal hiring. Key investments will be made in OPM’s Employee Services office focused on developing capacity to identify, design, and deploy innovations in Federal hiring policy, including supporting a new Hiring Experience group within Employee Services. This funding will also support refining and embedding successful innovations in Federal hiring that OPM successfully deployed in support of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) – allowing OPM to extend these innovations to support additional agencies in their surge hiring associated with recent legislation such as the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
This budget request supports implementing OPM’s transformational roadmap, including by building on the FY 2023 budget in reasserting OPM’s workforce policymaking leadership responsibilities, strengthening OPM’s leadership in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA), continuing our enhancements to OPM’s cybersecurity, investing in OPM’s customer service, and reflecting the increased work OPM has and will take on to support agencies in their surge hiring associated with recent legislation cited above. The alignment of this budget to the FY 2022-2026 Strategic Plan is reflected in the Performance Budget by Strategic Goal section of this document.

OPM Strategic Priorities
In FY 2024, OPM will continue to execute against its Strategic Plan to rebuild the capability and capacity of OPM, modernize the agency, and drive progress toward key Biden-Harris Administration priorities — including delivering excellent customer service, working to make sure every Federal job is a good job, improving policies to treat all Federal employees with dignity and respect, and supporting agencies in finding, developing and retaining the talent they need to achieve their missions. This budget request invests in OPM’s strategic priorities as follows:
Goal 1: Position the Federal Government as a model employer
As the nation’s largest employer, OPM aims to position the Federal Government as a model that sets an example for other private and public sector employers in America and around the world by fostering DEIA workplaces, embracing the future of work, building the skills of the Federal workforce and attracting skilled talent, and championing the Federal workforce to better support Federal agency performance and mission for the American people. This budget request addresses both OMB’s guidance to prioritize equity and the PMA’s Strategy 1, Goal 1.
Making the Federal government a model employer requires continuous improvement over a number of years and OPM has already built momentum. For example, in FY 2022, OPM established the new Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) and supported the development of the Governmentwide DEIA Strategic Plan. OPM also supported the surge hiring for agencies impacted by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), reducing the average time-to-hire by 9 percent for approximately 6,400 positions in these agencies.
If resourced, this budget request will further strengthen the Federal government as a model employer. OPM will continue to advance the Federal government’s DEIA efforts, expanding technical assistance with agency DEIA efforts- for example, investing in building an inclusive recruiting pipeline that can be utilized by all agencies, and piloting new approaches to reduce inequalities in career progression in the Federal workforce, especially at the Senior Executive Service (SES) level. For additional information on OPM’s plans to foster DEIA workplaces in FY 2024, please refer to the objective 1.1 section of the “Performance Budget by Strategic Goal” chapter of this document.
The Federal government must also overcome traditionally cumbersome and lengthy hiring processes to compete as a modern model employer. This FY 2024 budget request builds on the successful engagements with IIJA impacted agencies and supports evaluation of the end-to-end hiring model as well as leveraging Federal Action Skills Teams to support closing key skill gaps. It also supports increased capabilities in the USAStaffing platform to reduce the time to hire. For additional information on OPM’s plans to build the skills of the Federal workforce and attract skilled talent in FY 2024, please refer to the objective 1.3 section of the “Performance Budget by Strategic Goal” chapter of this document.
Goal 2: Transform OPM’s organizational capacity and capability to better serve as the leader in Federal human capital management
OPM must fundamentally transform its internal capacity and capability to fully realize the goals sought in OPM’s FY 2022-2026 Strategic Plan and better serve agencies and the American people. OPM is pursuing a broad set of improvements in this area, focused on culture, talent and skill development, employee engagement, resource management and IT infrastructure enhancements, which require financial investment to overcome OPM’s legacy technical debt.
OPM has embarked on a multi-year journey to modernize IT systems, including improving OPM’s Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act scorecard a full letter grade in FY 2022, from a C+ to a B+. Reflecting OPM’s commitment to improving technology, the agency also deployed OPM’s Enterprise Cloud, implemented cloud-based security protections, and replaced older technology phone systems.
If resourced, this budget request continues the transformation of OPM’s core IT systems from outdated and low-performing legacy technology to modern systems, with the associated improvements in cybersecurity, performance, customer experience, and efficiency. OPM will stay on track for a fiscal year 2025 completion of the Trust Funds Modernization Program, and continue to digitize key parts of the retirement process, including front-end document submission and signature and post-submission case management.
The FY 2024 budget request will also build OPM’s capabilities through increased training and upskilling, leveraging existing studies on capability and workforce gaps to centrally develop relevant materials and courses, target these activities to the most suited staff, and track progress and training outcomes.
These investments directly address OMB’s guidance to prioritize cybersecurity. For additional information on OPM’s plans to transform the agency’s organizational capacity and capability in FY 2024, please refer to the Goal 2 section of the “Performance Budget by Strategic Goal” chapter of this document.
Goal 3: Create a human-centered customer experience by putting the needs of OPM's customers at the center of OPM's workforce services, policy, and oversight
OPM’s success must ultimately be measured by the quality of the service it provides to its many customers, including agencies, beneficiaries, annuitants and their families, the Federal workforce at large, and job applicants. Improving the experience of OPM’s customers and strengthening OPM’s customer service capabilities and culture is foundational to OPM’s Strategic Plan. These investments also directly address OMB’s guidance to prioritize customer experience and are responsive to the PMA’s Strategy 2 and its focus on High Impact Service Providers.
This FY 2024 budget request, if resourced, will maintain this positive momentum and generate additional step change improvements, from supporting the overhaul of OPM’s website to improving the ease and speed with which beneficiaries can compare and select various Federal Employees Health Benefit Program (FEHB) plans. The budget request includes a particular focus on improving the Federal retiree and family member experience – taking steps toward creating a fully digital retirement system with investments in the foundational infrastructure needed to make this transition.
More broadly, this budget request will support an enterprise cultural shift to make all parts of OPM more customer-focused, with associated improvements in customer experience across major facets of the agency. If resourced, OPM will scale up a cross-OPM customer account management team dedicated specifically to making OPM more responsive to customer needs, a precursor to an agency-wide customer experience office.
For additional information on OPM’s plans to create a human-centered customer experience in FY 2024, please refer to the Goal 3 section of the “Performance Budget by Strategic Goal” chapter of this document.
Goal 4: Provide innovative and data-driven solutions to enable agencies to meet their missions
To function as the Federal government’s strategic human capital leader, OPM must increasingly provide the solutions agencies need for their most difficult human capital problems, becoming more proactive, innovative, and data-driven. This will require removing unnecessary administrative burden, accelerating workforce policymaking, and investing in core data capabilities to improve the quality and usability of one of the largest datasets of human capital information in the world.
OPM has already begun to refresh its approach and provide more of what agencies need. For example, OPM has launched the first Federal Human Capital Data Analytics Community of Practice, and is rapidly building needed data tools, such as human capital dashboards and a series of Application Programming Interfaces for agency access to USAStaffing and USAJOBS data.
If resourced, OPM will embed and extend its capabilities to provide solutions to agencies. This includes investing in customer relationship management capabilities, improving visibility into OPM’s internal Document Approval System Hub data, and expanding delivery of regulatory process training to critical staff members in OPM and to key OPM audiences. It will also invest in sharing cross-government best-practices through road shows and webinars on a range of topics, including new delegations of authority.
This FY 2024 budget also invests in the next wave of improvements, building on the foundational improvement and modernization efforts in FY 2022 and FY 2023, improving data quality (e.g. of payroll data) and maintaining multi-year efforts such as building out the suite of data-informed dashboards and analytical products requested by agency customers.
For additional information on OPM’s plans to provide innovative and data-driven solutions in FY 2024, please refer to the goal 4 section of the “Performance Budget by Strategic Goal” chapter of this document.
Implement the Postal Service Reform Act
The Postal Service Reform Act of 2022 (PSRA, Public Law 117-108) requires OPM to establish the Postal Service Health Benefits Program (PSHBP), a new health benefits program for 1.7 million United States Postal Service (USPS) employees, annuitants, and their eligible family members, starting in January 2025, that will operate within but separate from FEHBP. FY 2024 is a pivotal year in establishing this Program. OPM will be contracting with approved health insurance carriers, deploying core back-end technical systems and data linkages, standing up front-end user interfaces and customer service infrastructure, and working with USPS and other partners to inform and educate postal employees and annuitants about the program they are joining. Detailed plans regarding the Postal Service Reform Act implementation are available in a subsequent chapter in this document.
FY 2024 Technology Modernization
This budget request proposes no-year funding to continue incremental enhancements in the agency’s information technology and cybersecurity posture and continue to further modernize how OPM serves its’ customers. In addition to our FY 2024 budget request, OPM is also seeking funding for several Information Technology (IT) modernization projects through the Technology Modernization Board. OPM is also utilizing our IT Working Capital Fund as authorized by the Modernizing Government Technology Act to help finance future technology modernization. The IT Working Capital Fund will permit OPM to better plan and execute IT investments.
Reliability and Security of Information Technology Infrastructure
The Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) has focused on reducing risks and improving the customer experience of OPM’s IT systems, applications, and infrastructure through the migration of its systems to strategic cloud services, consolidated data centers, and other shared services, which is also consistent with the requirements of OMB Memorandum M-19-19 and Executive Order 13800.
This FY 2024 budget request will partially fund investments to improve cybersecurity by modernizing core IT infrastructure, continuing a multi-year effort to replace our systems and applications with cloud-based solutions. A signature example of this is that our FY 2024 request includes funds to migrate OPM’s mainframe to be hosted within the cloud instead of data centers. Given that OPM’s mainframes are near end of supported life, migrating the mainframes to the cloud will allow OPM to avoid needing to procure two new mainframes. In addition to cost avoidance, this transition will drive significant performance and efficiency improvements and reduce cybersecurity risk from old systems.
Another example of OPM’s investment in cybersecurity is the implementation of a cloud-based Security Information and Event Management System (SEIM), which allows OPM to log, organize, and analyze events that occur across OPM systems. This type of monitoring capability is essential to identify and counter suspicious activities as well as to facilitate data-informed continuous learning activities for cybersecurity personnel. Similarly, OPM’s request invests directly in additional cybersecurity staffing, mitigating cybersecurity risk arising from the transition of background investigations to the Department of Defense.
The FY 2024 budget request also maintains critical on-going cybersecurity operations, such as a comprehensive security operations program that protects data continuously and in real-time and funding an enterprise-wide, centralized cybersecurity office that governs security operations, performs continuous monitoring, and establishes OPM IT security policy. This office provides the issuance and implementation of policies that incorporate emerging technologies, mitigates evolving cyber threats and facilitates data-driven, risk-based oversight of agency-wide business programs.
Modernize the Federal Annuity Experience
OPM understands the imperative to create a more modern retirement experience for Federal employees who have earned these benefits over a career of serving the American public. Essential to creating an excellent customer experience is digitizing OPM’s currently largely paper-centric process.
OPM has begun to develop an Online Retirement Application (ORA), a customer-facing portal that allows retirees, agencies, and payroll providers to submit their retirement applications online. Our FY 2024 request includes funding to finalize the ORA’s development and to launch it with a much wider set of agencies, dramatically scaling up the population of Federal employees who have access to it. This will improve any user’s experience.
In concert with receiving retirement applications online, OPM began to develop a pilot capability to accept and store digital applications and keep further streamlining the retirement application experience. Our FY 2024 request will extend this capability to additional agencies.
As we scale the digital front-end of the retirement process, a necessary next step is to transition away from largely paper-based case management processes. Our FY 2024 request will begin to fund the expansions of the case management system of ORA to include additional digital cases. A necessarily multi-year journey, deploying this case management system will allow all relevant information to be easily available for case processors, which will reduce the time required to process a retirement case, reduce the backlog of retirement cases and improve retirees’ experiences. It will also eventually reduce the time-consuming, environmentally taxing and expensive manual steps to print and compile case files, further accelerating case processing, reducing errors, and permitting OPM to make better use of staff levels.
Trust Funds Federal Financial System Modernization
The multi-year, multi-release effort to replace the financial management solution used to manage OPM’s Earned Benefits Trust Funds continues to be a strategic priority. OPM manages over $1.1 trillion of combined assets for the Earned Benefits Trust Funds to finance retirement, health, and life insurance benefits – impacting millions of federal employees, retirees, and their families. OPM invests $10+ billion in Treasury Securities daily, processes $8+ billion retirement payments monthly, and distributes $60+ billion in health and life benefits annually. A modernized financial management solution supporting Trust Funds Operations directly benefits the entire federal government.
OPM envisions a trust fund service delivery model that is agile, analytical, and customer-focused, with an upskilled workforce to provide best-in-class trust funds accounting and investment services to the Federal government. To achieve this vision, with strong OMB support in FY 2017, OPM established the Trust Funds Modernization (TFM) Program to migrate Trust Funds functions from legacy mainframe systems to a modernized solution. OPM achieved significant milestones as the agency transformed its trust funds financial management operations through an incremental delivery strategy.
We are proud to report that in October 2022, OPM, on budget and on schedule, successfully migrated trust funds core financial and investment functions from the legacy 30+ year old mainframe environment to the more modernized federal financial management shared services integrated solution. Managed by the Treasury ARC, this successful migration aligns with the President’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Memorandum M-17-22 and Memorandum M-19-16 and improves OPM’s reputation as a reliable and good steward of taxpayer money for IT modernization and business transformation. With the transition to the shared services solution, OPM continues to support its transformative vision that seeks to enhance the customer experience through data intelligence, analytics, and service delivery.
This successful migration is only one of two phases of the project. The second phase (also known as Release 2) targets the health and life insurance benefits-related trust funds financial management processes. Currently, these processes are paper-based and depend on legacy mainframe applications that have been unable meet the growing needs of OPM Trust Funds Operations. In continued partnership with Treasury ARC, OPM believes that these functions can also be migrated off the mainframe and over to Treasury’s shared services platform and modern financial management technology. Requirements for this effort have been documented, and OPM’s partnership with Treasury ARC continues in FY 2023 with planning, requirements verification, and design activities. However, to successfully complete Release 2, OPM needs to continue the migration lifecycle into FY 2024, which will focus on system configurations, interface and system developments, user acceptance testing, training, data migration, and successful deployment.
Current budget levels only support the TFM program through FY 2023. Additional FY 2024 funding is needed to keep the TFM Program on budget and schedule. This budget supports Release 2 migration activities with Treasury ARC and for vendor support in the areas of program management, data and interface management, and organizational change management. If the requisite funding is provided, OPM estimates that TFM Release 2 will be completed in Q1 FY 2025.
FY 2024 Budget Request by Fund
OPM estimates that its total operating budget in FY 2024 will be $1,308,466,350. OPM is funded by a variety of sources that include annual Salaries and Expenses appropriations, discretionary transfers from the Earned Benefit Trust Funds (noted in tables as Trust Fund Annual), multiple mandatory administrative authorities, a revolving fund, and other interagency transactions (Advances and Reimbursements). Additionally, OPM’s Office of the Inspector General receives a separate appropriation and separate transfer authority from the Trust Funds for the responsibilities of the Office of the Inspector General (OIG).

OPM’s discretionary request consists of an appropriation for OPM’s program and leadership activities, and a limitation on transfers from the Earned Benefits Trust Funds under OPM management. OPM’s FY 2024 discretionary request is $461,764,000.
OPM also manages mandatory appropriations that provide for the transfer of resources from the Government’s general fund to the Earned Benefits Trust Funds for Federal employees and annuitants’ benefits. The Trust Funds and the associated mandatory appropriations are discussed in more detail in the Earned Benefit Trust Funds section of this budget. Each OPM fund is described below.
Salaries and Expenses
OPM requests $260,188,000 in Salaries and Expenses (S&E) funds for personnel and non-personnel resources, which includes $37,675,056 for Postal Services Health Benefits Program and $15,816,468 for IT Modernization efforts. These efforts will be focused on IT transformation in Retirement Services and Healthcare and Insurance, investments in zero-trust architecture, Trust Fund Modernization initiated in FY 2017, and other incremental legacy IT transformations. The S&E appropriation funds the agency’s various program offices as they implement OPM’s strategic plan and perform OPM’s core statutory roles, including providing direction and oversight to other Federal agencies.
Trust Fund Transfers
For the administration of the civil service retirement and insurance programs, OPM requests $201,576,000 in administrative transfers from the Earned Benefits Trust Funds. OPM is responsible for managing the Federal Government’s health benefits and life insurance programs under the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program and the Federal Employees’ Group Life Insurance (FEGLI) Program. In addition, OPM administers the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) and Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), which are financed by the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund (CSRDF). The administrative Trust Fund transfers in part fund the following organizations: Retirement Services (RS), Healthcare and Insurance (HI), Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO), and Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) operations.
These transfers are described as Trust Fund Annual in this request and come from the following Trust Funds subject to Congressional limitation:
- Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund (CSRDF);
- Federal Employees Health Benefits Fund (FEHBF); and
- Federal Employees’ Group Life Insurance Fund (FEGLI).
Mandatory Administrative Authorities
Several provisions under Title 5 of the United States Code (U.S.C.) and the Federal Erroneous Retirement Coverage Corrections Act (FERCCA) authorize OPM to administer specific retirement program and insurance activities, and to transfer funds for the administrative cost of these activities from the Trust Funds. These authorities provide additional administrative transfers from the Trust Funds. Per 5 U.S.C. §8348 (a)(1)(B), OPM incurs expenses from Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund (CSRDF) for the following activities:
- Administering survivor annuities and elections (§8339 and §8341) and other annuity alternatives (§8343a and §8420a);
- Making discretionary allotments and assignments and withholding State income taxes on monthly annuities (§8345(k) or §8469) upon annuitant request;
- Withholding taxes pursuant to section 3405 of Title 26 or section 8345(k) or 8469 of this Title; and
- Administering fraud prevention (§8345, §8345a, 8466, and §8466a).
Within the CSRDF, OPM may also incur expenses as deemed appropriate for the administration of FERCCA (P.L. 106-265, Title II, Sept. 19, 2000, 114 Stat. 762). OPM may incur expenses to administer the Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP) from Federal Employees’ Group Life Insurance FEGLI (Id. at Title I, §1002(a), codified at 5 U.S.C. §9004(f)(B)). Within FEHBP, OPM may defray reasonable expenses to administer the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP) (5 U.S.C. §8958 (f)(2)(A) and §8988 (f)(2)(A)). Resources used to administer the FLTCIP and FEDVIP are reimbursed to the FLTCIP and FEDVIP funds by the participating insurance carriers from the respective Programs’ premium income comprised entirely of enrollee contributions.

OPM requests authority in FY 2024 to incur $664,350,846 of obligations in its Revolving Fund. OPM’s Revolving Fund was established by the Congress as a means of financing those activities that OPM is required or authorized to perform on a reimbursable basis (such as OPM’s obligation to oversee the Government-wide suitability, fitness, and credentialing programs and itself assess the suitability of applicants for the service when certain issues arise) and allows OPM to provide personnel management services to other Federal agencies via several well-established programs. Federal agencies pay OPM based on customer transactions, orders, fixed fees, or proportional contribution to cost. Broadly classified into six groups -- the Office of the Suitability Executive Agent (SuitEA), Human Resources Solutions (HRS), Enterprise Human Resources Integration (EHRI), Human Resources Solutions Information Technology Program Management Office (HRSITPMO) Credit Monitoring Services, and new for FY 2024 Federal Executive Boards -- these activities are performed by Federal staff and contractors qualified for the service throughout several OPM organizations.

OPM’s FY 2024 budget supports 3,438 full-time-equivalents (FTEs). Of this total, the discretionary appropriation and Mandatory Trust Fund transfers will fund 2,307 FTEs (the sum of the Salaries and Expenses, Trust Fund Limitations, and Mandatory Trust Fund Authority totals). These employees deliver OPM’s Government-wide responsibilities relating to human capital management leadership, benefits, and additional mission and mission support activities. An additional 1,130 FTEs are funded by the Revolving Fund, Advances and Reimbursements, and Office of the Inspector General (OIG).
The FY 2024 FTE level increased by 368 FTEs when compared to the FY 2023 Enacted budget level. The discretionary budget increased by 289 FTE. This is attributed to a 281 FTE growth in the Salaries and Expenses fund to support 154 FTE for the Postal Service Health Benefits Program and 91 FTE for continued enhancement of retirement program administration of the Civil Service and Federal Employees’ Retirement Systems.
The remaining 36 FTE support increased capacity across various OPM organizations in support of agency priorities and the President’s agenda. These organizations include Merit System Accountability & Compliance, Employee Services, OPM Human Resources, Office of Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Inclusion, Office of Procurement, Officer of the Chief Financial Officer, and the Office of the Chief Financial Officer.
Also contributing to the discretionary increase are 9 FTEs funded by Trust Fund Limitation. This is primarily attributed to an increase for 6 FTEs in the Healthcare and Insurance program. The increase provides additional program support for Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP). The remaining FTE increases are within the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) and Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO).
