A. No. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) will use awards data extracted from the Central Personnel Data File (CPDF) to report Governmentwide data on cash and time-off awards. OPM no longer requires agencies to submit OPM Form 1465.

A. At this time only cash and time-off awards must be reported to the Central Personnel Data File (CPDF). However, if an agency grants a cash stipend or honorarium with an honorary award, it should report that cash payment to the CPDF. For additional information on how to report cash awards to the CPDF refer to Guide to Processing Personnel Actions

A. Yes. When submitting status and dynamics files, agencies must submit three pieces of rating of record data to the Office of Personnel Management's Central Personnel Data File (CPDF) for each record: the summary level, the pattern of the program that the rating was given under, and the ending date of the rating's associated appraisal period.

A. Follow these links for the Guide to Processing Personnel Actions and the Guide to Personnel Recordkeeping.

A. Yes. Cash and time-off awards given to an individual or to a group must be reported to the Central Personnel Data file (CPDF)/Enterprise Human Resources Integration (EHRI). When submitting dynamics files, agencies must submit the award gross amount to CPDF/EHRI for each record affected.

A. No. Agencies are not required or authorized to file documents for awards on the right side (i.e., the long-term side) of the OPF, except that agencies must file SF50's for Presidential Rank awards and Quality Step Increases (QSI). Agencies must document QSIs because they are pay actions that affect employees' basic pay.

Agencies may file documentation of award actions in the Employee Performance File maintained on the left side of the OPF (temporary documents) at their option. Agencies should remove any actions kept on the left of the OPF when the employee leaves the agency.
