  • 2025-00584 — Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 3970
    Reading Time:about 9 minutes

    The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is introducing a new system to handle appeals from current and former Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) employees. These employees have received VA orders to repay or reduce their bonuses, awards, relocation expenses, or retirement benefits, usually due to claims of misconduct or poor performance. This system is created in line with the Privacy Act of 1974 and details how records will be managed and who can access this information. The public can submit comments about this proposal until February 14, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The OPM is setting up a safe place to check if VA workers have to give back any money they got, like bonuses or moving costs, and to help them if they think it's not fair. But some people worry it might be a little tricky to understand all the details and how it keeps people's privacy safe.
