All in all, 2015 was a very big year for OPM with the data breach incident taking the spotlight away from all the other developments. It’s expected that the vigour with which the employees worked after the data breach is going to get extended with the start of the New Year. They have started encouraging people to drop in their retirement applications as their motivation to deliver has increased many folds. It’s hoped that they are not going to be faced with another predicament in the near future and that they will be able to help the federal officers get their retirements processed smoothly as well.
