Thrift Savings Plan
1) MY PIN NUMBER DOESN'T WORK...
- NFC Employee Personal Page (EPP) and Employee Self-Service (ESS) generates an eight-digit Password. Request a new or replacement Password at www.nfc.usda.gov and select the link for MY EPP. If you have previously completed the security Challenge Question, Challenge Answer, and designated an e-mail address in the PREFERENCES section of EPP, you may elect to REQUEST PASSWORD VIA E-MAIL and receive your replacement Password right away, otherwise you must REQUEST PASSWORD BY MAIL and wait 7-10 business days to receive it by mail. For additional information, see Additional EPP/ESS Password Information.
- Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) generates a four-digit PIN which remains active as long as the
employee is an active employee. Request a new or replacement PIN at www.tsp.gov or by calling
the TSP ThriftLine at (877)968-3778.
- Unique Systems - None of the systems will accept a PIN which has been systemically generated by another government operating system (i.e. the NFC Personal Page PIN cannot be used as the TSP PIN, or vice versa).
