## What is eOPF?

The electronic Official Personnel Folder (eOPF) is the digitized
recreation of your paper personnel folder and the official record of
your Federal work career. It is accessible to you any time, anywhere,
via a secure website.

review personnel actions as they are automatically filed.

    notification of Personnel Actions (SF-50's).

    dispersed workforce.
