The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) plans to roll out a paperless, fully digital retirement application system across the government starting next month, OPM said in a May 7 memorandum to the heads of various agencies.
In a May 9 post on social media platform X, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) called the effort a “collaboration win” by DOGE and OPM, saying the digitization of the retirement system is happening “after 35+ years of failed modernization attempts.”
