Upon Appointment
Once you accept an appointment offer from a
participating agency, the Agency PMF Coordinator will update your
status via the "Agency System for Automated Processing (ASAP)".
This on-line system provides a means for Coordinators to enter a
Finalist's appointment, employment information, and Entry on Duty
(EOD) start date. In some cases, your EOD may reflect
"12/31/20XX" to show you are pending a start date; this is
typically due to a pending background investigation by the
appointing agency or because you are working on completing your
graduate degree requirements by the August 31 deadline. Once an
agency submits an acceptance of an appointment offer, your status
will be updated to reflect "A - Accepted an Appointment/Appointed"
on the list of Finalists on the PMF website. If you have accepted
an appointment and/or notice an error, please check with the Agency
PMF Coordinator to ensure your appointment has been properly
recorded. You can also contact the PMF Program Office to correct
our records.
Once you accept an appointment, you are encouraged to send
an email to
pmf@opm.gov , with the subject of "PMF
Appointment." The email should contain the following information:
your first and last name, personal email address, the
agency/sub-agency to which you were appointed or accepted an
appointment with, your name, projected start date, job title, pay
grade and name/email address of supervisor, and the Agency
PMF Coordinator associated to the agency/sub-agency. Based on
this information, your status will be updated in our
database.
When you physically move to the position's geographic
location, please be sure to submit updated personal contact
information via the Information
Worksheet. Your status as a Finalist changes to a Fellow once
you start your appointment.
