OPM Fax Number — Federal Employee Benefits and Retirement
The Office of Personnel Management administers federal retirement, FEHB health benefits, and background investigations, and its general fax line is 202-606-2800. Retirement Services often handles its own intake separately, so a retirement application or an annuity-related document may need a different number than a general inquiry. FEHB enrollment changes are usually processed through your agency's HR office rather than directly by OPM, which trips up a lot of submissions.

Tip: Put your CSA (Civil Service Annuitant) number on every page if you have one, or your Social Security number if you don't, so OPM can match the pages to your record. For a retirement claim, send all the supporting documents together in one transmission rather than piecemeal, which avoids partial files sitting in the queue. If you're unsure which line to use, OPM Retirement Services at 1-888-767-6738 can point you to the correct fax number for your situation.
