Retirement Processing System (RETM)

Inquiry

Inquiry is the second option on the Agency Tracking Menu. This option is used to query (view) tracking records on file for an employee.

To Inquire on a Tracking Record for an Employee:

1. Type I at the Action Code prompt of the Agency Tracking Menu.
2. Type the employee's SSN at the SSNO prompt.
3. Press the Enter button. The Application Tracking-Inquiry screen is displayed showing the latest data for the selected SSN.

   

   Note: This screen includes data that was entered not only by Agency personnel offices but also by NFC personnel and by a systemic update.

NFC enters additional data into RETM to assist Agencies in tracking an employee's application. The date the employee's application was received by NFC is entered by NFC personnel. Data updated systemically by NFC on the first inquiry screen includes (1) the employee's current yearly and cumulative deductions while payrolled by NFC, (2) the date the personnel action was applied to the Payroll/Personnel database, (3) the date the application was sent to OPM, (4) the register number, and (5) the number of days it took to process the action.

• To view additional records for the same employee, press PF8.
• To view a record for another employee, type the next SSN over the existing number, on the first inquiry screen, and press Enter. The data for the selected SSN is displayed.
• To view additional records, repeat this process; otherwise, press the applicable key as displayed at the bottom of the screen.
