Enterprise Human Resources Initiative (EHRI)/Retirement System Modernization (RSM)

Document type 444, EHRI/RSM Element, was established to allow multiple elements to be entered and/or changed at the same time. The RSM program is used by OPM to build a complete service history for all Federal employees by using historical Individual Retirement Records (IRR) submitted to OPM, along with historical service data being maintained by the Agency in both paper and electronic format. Data is sent biweekly to OPM via the EHRI. A work email address is also entered on the document and sent to OPM and can only be modified by the Human Resources office.

All accessions hired on or after January 1, 2006, are required to complete Ethnicity and Race Identification (ERI) information via SF 181. ERI replaces the old Race and National Origin (RNO) data.

The ERI code should be entered on the accession or conversion action via the 060, Personnel Actn, document. If ERI changes are needed after entry on the accession or conversion action, the History Override process should be used to make adjustments
