Needs and Uses: Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) has implemented
the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Verification portal to provide
a self-service, easy to use, navigable public facing website that
allows individuals potentially impacted by the OPM data breach to
securely provide personal identifiable information in order to
investigate their eligibility for credit monitoring as a result of
being affected by the OPM background investigation data breach without
calling a Government call center. The information collected will be
used only to verify whether an individual was impacted by the OPM
cybersecurity incident involving background investigation records. Once
the minimally required information has been entered into the OPM
Verification portal, it will be compared to an electronic master file
and verification will be accomplished electronically. After the
Government has validated the individual's status, DMDC provides the
information electronically to OPM and Defense Logistics Agency (DLA)
for subsequent processing.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Annual Burden Hours: 4,166.7.
Number of Respondents: 50,000.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 50,000.
Average Burden per Response: 5 mins.
Frequency: On occasion.
Dated: December 23, 2025.
