of retirement and health insurance. Additional information is obtained

accrue civilian's correct leave, benefits, retirement and pay, issue
bonds, pay taxes, and to keep the Exchange compliant with court orders
and the ability to answer any inquires to process such claims. In
addition, the information is used to produce reports and statistical
analyses of the civilian workforce to verify employment, provide data
in support of Equal Employment Opportunity Programs, provide the
Exchange with emergency contact information, responses to union
requests, establish training requirements, provide projected staffing
requirements, provide data for retirement processing, corrective
actions, grievances and appeals, provide incentive awards, fill
