Benefits - New Employees - Employee Personal Page (EPP)
The Employee Personal Page (EPP) is your online connection to your personal pay and benefits information. In EPP, you can view your Earnings and Leave Statements, W-2s, and current benefits information. You may also use the EPP to make some of your own
payroll and benefits changes such as your tax withholding, health insurance elections, Thrift Savings Plan changes, etc., by using the online Self-Service option. NOTE: Employees are prohibited from using EPP to make changes to their health insurance
as a result of a Qualifying Life Event (QLE).
To access your EPP:
- Approximately 3–4 weeks after your start date, the National Finance Center (NFC) will send you a welcome email and temporary password to your work email address.
- Go to http://www.nfc.usda.gov/epps and follow the prompts using the temporary password provided in the email to set up your account.
If you do not receive an email from NFC within 3–4 weeks and have a valid work email address, go to the website shown above, click on "New User Signup," and follow the instructions provided.
If you are transferring from an agency that was serviced by NFC, you should log into the EPP and update the "Preferences/Prefs" tab (menu on the left side of the screen) with your new agency email address. You should do this as soon as you know your new
email address.
If you need assistance with EPP, contact the Benefits Office or send an email to
[email protected] . You may also find some helpful information in the
EPP Quick Reference Guide or at
"Getting Started in EPP".
