SUBJ:  THE NATIONAL FINANCE CENTER (NFC) MY EMPLOYEE PERSONAL PAGE
(MYEPP) LOGON SECURITY STRENGTHENING MEASURES PLANNED
1. THIS ALCGCIV APPLIES TO CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES PAID BY THE NFC.
2. MY EPP IS THE EMPLOYEE SELF-SERVICE TOOL THAT ENABLES CIVILIAN
EMPLOYEES TO MAKE CERTAIN CHANGES TO THEIR PAYROLL ELECTIONS,
INCLUDING TAX DEDUCTIONS, TSP, INFORMATION ABOUT FINANCIAL
INSTITUTIONS, ETC.
3. CURRENTLY, THE SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER (SSN) IS THE USERID FOR MY
EPP.  THIS IS A SECURITY AND IDENTITY CONCERN.  THE NFC IS
IMPLEMENTING INCREASED SECURITY MEASURES TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES.
CHANGES THAT WILL OCCUR ON OR ABOUT 14 JANUARY 2008, WILL REQUIRE
YOU TO:
      A.  CREATE YOUR OWN UNIQUE USERID THAT WILL REPLACE THE SSN
AS THE USERID.  THE NEW USERID MUST BE BETWEEN 8 AND 40 CHARACTERS
AND CONTAIN AT LEAST ONE LETTER.  IT MAY CONTAIN NUMBERS AND
SPECIAL CHARACTERS AND CANNOT MATCH YOUR SSN.
      B.  STRENGTHEN YOUR PASSWORD IN COMPLIANCE WITH STRICTER
RULES.  THE NEW PASSWORD MUST BE BETWEEN 6 AND 14 CHARACTERS AND
MUST CONTAIN AT LEAST 3 OF THE FOLLOWING: UPPER CASE LETTER, LOWER
CASE LETTER, NUMBER, AND A SPECIAL CHARACTER.  IT CANNOT CONTAIN
YOUR FIRST NAME, LAST NAME OR USERID.  WHEN CHANGING YOUR PASSWORD
IT CANNOT MATCH YOUR CURRENT OR TWO PRIOR PASSWORDS.
      C. ESTABLISH AN EMAIL ADDRESS, IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE SO
ALREADY.  PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU UPDATE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE WHENEVER YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS CHANGES.
4.  CONTACT YOUR HR SPECIALIST OR COMMAND STAFF ADVISOR IF YOU HAVE
ANY QUESTIONS.
