Transfers
Agencies that are maintaining existing P.L. 98-615 and P.L. 100-654 (5 U.S.C. 8905a) accounts within their own systems may transfer those accounts to NFC. (Do not transfer an employee when they separate from your employment. These employees should be terminated and then submitted to NFC as a new enrollment.)
When transferring an existing account, conversion of billing from the original Agency to NFC must be coordinated. Agencies should call the DPRS Billing Unit at NFC at for more information.
Agencies will prepare, process, and distribute an SF 2810 documenting the transfer out of the Agencies' DPRS processing to NFC. In addition to the SF 2810, Agencies will provide NFC with the Official Personnel File (OPF) copy of the initialed SF 2809. See an example of the SF 2810 and Original SF 2809 for Transfer Enrollees. For instructions on filling out the SF 2810, see Appendix III, Instructions on Completing the SF 2810. P.L. 98-615 enrollee health benefits files should be sent to NFC under a separate cover sheet. Agencies should verify the address and phone number on the SF 2809 for accuracy.
Based on receipt of these forms from the Agencies, NFC will prepare SF 2810s to transfer in the enrollees and will establish an account for each enrollee involved in the transfer. No active accounts with an overdue premium should be transferred into NFC until the overdue amount has been collected.
Send the completed forms to:
USDA, National Finance Center
DPRS Billing Unit
P.O. Box 61760
New Orleans, Louisiana 70161-1760
