To assist you, the staff of the Employee Service Center has compiled this list of actions you may want to consider. All items listed may not pertain to your individual situation, nor may all actions you should consider be included.

Please keep copies of all forms submitted for your personal records, and feel free to call us at 301-517-8100 if you have questions or require assistance.

Example:
Forms received by September 20 are processed with October 1 effective date
Forms received after September 20 but before October 20 are processed with November 1 effective date
