Short Statement: OPM adjudicates appeals under a variety of regulations in 5 CFR Chapter I. These include classification appeals (parts 511 and 532), declination of a “reasonable offer” appeals (part 536, subpart D), compensation and leave claims (5 CFR 178 Subpart A), and Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) claims (part 551, subpart G). In addition, OPM has proposed regulations to adjudicate appeals of additional types of actions, including probationary and trial period appeals (see 90 FR 61070, Dec. 30, 2025), suitability action appeals (91 FR 5352, February 6, 2026), and Reduction in Force Appeals (91 FR 586, February 10, 2026). To facilitate agency processing and tracking appeals, OPM is creating an electronic filing system by which appellants can create an account and file and track their appeals.
