NOTICE TO 

PUBLIC FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE (SF-278) FILERS 

WHO ARE LEAVING NASA 

As a Public Financial Disclosure (SF-278) filer, you must file a final SF-278

Termination Report within 30 days of your last day of employment with NASA. This 

report is mandatory for all SF-278 filers. Failure to file this report within 30 days after 

your separation from NASA can result in a $200.00 fine. 

Note that there is an exception to this requirement if you are transferring to another 

public filer position with another Federal Agency within 30 days of leaving NASA. 

Although you will not need to file a final SF-278, you will need to inform the NASA 

Shared Services Center (NSSC) at 1-877-677-2123 or by e-mail at: nssccontactcenter@nasa.gov so that your record can be updated. You may want to request 

a copy of your last SF-278 to provide to your new Agency. 

You may file this final termination report either electronically or in paper copy. Please 

choose the option of filing as a “termination filer” and fill in your last official day of NASA 

employment as the “termination date.” After you complete the form, please remember 

to sign and date it. 

OPTION 1: Electronic Filing of Termination SF-278 

We encourage you to file your SF-278 electronically using the Ethics Program Tracking 

System (EPTS). When filing electronically, you can complete your final filing 

requirement within 30 days before you separate from NASA. To file electronically, 

please go to: https://eptsfiler.nssc.nasa.gov. 

You will be asked to enter your Agency User ID (AUID; e.g., jsmith1) and Password to 

log in to your form. Once you have logged into EPTS, click the Do you need to file a 

SF-278 Public Financial Disclosure Termination report? link. 

- If you do not remember your Agency User ID, you can click on the “I Don’t Know 

My Agency User ID” link on the login page. (Your Agency User ID is what you 

usually use to log into your NASA computer.) You may also click on 

https://eauth-msfc.idp.nasa.gov/amserver/fid.tiles to search the Access 

Launchpad User Directory. 

- If you do not remember your Password, you can click on the “I Forgot My 

Password” link on the login page. (Your Password is the same one you may 

already use for other NASA systems including IdMAX, SATERN, NAMS, NAAS, 

AWMS, HCIE, i-View, and WTTS.) You may also click on the following link: 

https://eauth-msfc.idp.nasa.gov/amserver/fpw_auid_form.tiles. 

RELEASED - Printed documents may be obsolete; validate prior to use.
- If you need personal assistance obtaining your Agency User ID and/or Password, 

please call the Access Launchpad Help Desk at 1-866-419-6297. 

Choose the option for “Termination Filer” and fill in your last day as a NASA employee 

as the “Termination Date.” When you file electronically, your form is easy to complete 

because it will be pre-populated with your previous financial information for you to edit 

and update. There are instructions on the form itself as to how to complete it. 

 

If you are unable to file electronically through EPTS, experience any difficulties or have 

any additional questions, you should immediately contact the NASA Shared Services 

Center at 1-877-677-2123 or by e-mail at: nssc-contactcenter@nasa.gov for 

assistance. 

OPTION 2: Filing a Paper Copy of Termination SF-278

You may download the SF-278 from the NSSC Customer Service Web site located at: 

https://www.nssc.nasa.gov/customerservice. From the Employee Services tab, select 

the Financial Disclosure option. Scroll to the bottom of the Financial Disclosure page, 

and under the Forms heading, click the SF-278 link. There are extensive instructions 

on the form. Please remember to sign and date your form. 

Please print, complete, sign, date, and mail your paper form to: 

 NASA Shared Services Center 

 Attn: Human Resources/Financial Disclosure 

 Building 1111 

 C Road 

 Stennis Space Center, MS 39529 

If you mail your form, we recommend that you obtain a tracking number to ensure your 

package is received by the NSSC. You may also submit your termination SF-278 to 

your local Chief Counsel’s Office.
