Record of Employment

Obtaining a Copy of Your Personnel Records SF-50
If you left NIH more than 3-4 months ago and are no longer a government employee, NIH should not still have this document. Since you left the federal government, your folder will have been sent to a central archive facility run by the National Archives. To request a copy of your Official Personnel Folder (OPF), you should contact the National Archives - here is a link to the guidance provided by the National Archives for obtaining a copy of your OPF - http://www.archives.gov/st-louis/civilian-personnel/public-services.html#OPF.
If you transferred to another government agency, the contents of your eOPF are printed and then reconciled with the hardcopy OPF. The hardcopy OPF is sent to the gaining agency. Your eOPF remains in the system and is deactivate 90 days from the date of separation from the previous agency.
Obtaining a Copy of a Prior Year's W-2
A duplicate copy of the prior year’s W-2 may be requested by submitting the Duplicate W-2 Request Form (.doc) to the Benefits and Payroll Liaison Branch (BPLB) located in Building 31, Room B3C23. You must indicate on the form whether you want a duplicate W-2 from the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) or the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) or both. Your request will then be forwarded to DHHS for processing. Please make sure that the current address and the address to which the W-2 should be sent is correct on the form.
Retirement - Benefits Upon Separation

Leave Transfer
Once the action is processed in Capital HR, the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) will create the SF-1150 (Record of Leave Transfer). The SF-1150 is sent to the NIH File Room, who will then send it on to the gaining agency.
