Title: Retirement Systems Modernization 
Abstract: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has issued regulations to authorize alternative provisions for processing retirement and health and life insurance applications, notices, elections, and records under the Agency’s Retirement Systems Modernization (RSM) project. The RSM project is OPM’s strategic e-Gov initiative to improve the quality and timeliness of services to employees and annuitants covered by the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) and the Federal Employees’ Retirement System (FERS), as well as the Federal Employees’ Group Life Insurance (FEGLI), the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) and Retired Federal Employees Health Benefits (RFEHB) Programs, by modernizing business processes and the technology that supports them. Certain regulatory provisions governing the processing of benefits under CSRS, FERS, FEGLI, FEHB and RFEHB are incompatible with the effort to modernize retirement and insurance applications and claims processing. Therefore, exceptions from these provisions need to be authorized.
