Effective Date:  Actions processed through Employee Express become effective the next pay period except transactions for Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB), which are effective the pay period after the close of open season.

Some Requirements: To access Employee Express, employees need to know their social security number and Employee Express PIN. Depending on the transaction type, employees also need additional information such as the name of financial institution or health benefits provider. PINs are mailed to new employees by the Office of Personnel Management in Macon, Georgia. Employees who misplace their PIN and need a replacement can request one from the Employee Express Help-Desk at (478) 757-3030.

For security reasons, the Help-Desk will NOT issue a PIN to any other address than the official one on file. Therefore, employees must make sure this information is up-to-date prior to requesting issuance of a PIN.

More details about TSP:

General: The Thrift Savings Board allows the use of automated systems like Employee Express to be used by employees to declare the percent or dollar amount to be deducted from pay for TSP contributions. However, the board requires allocations among the various TSP funds to be done on their web site at http://www.tsp.gov not in Employee Express.
