Workforce Management Office (WFMO) Serving NOAA's Most Valuable Asset - People
Hurricane Katrina Response
Payroll Information: (as of 9/7/05)
NFC is operating
NFC is in full Continuing Operations mode and is operating from its two remote sites in Philadelphia and Dallas.
NFC may not yet be fully operational, but they are working to restore all systems soon.
NFC is "trying its best" to get all systems up and running, get all accessions entered, process separations (especially retirement actions), and get their file transfers to/from clients and providers. They may "only be able to bring up a couple of systems at a time."
The NFC center in New Orleans is not destroyed; however, it was surrounded by water, there was no power, and it is not known when they will be able to return to New Orleans. Meanwhile, operations continue from the alternate locations.
Banking Information and New Direct Deposit Accounts - only if needed.
Check Bank status by bank name or by state, city from the FDIC - see Information for Consumers and Bankers in the Affected Areas- FDIC
Also,
Information about bank accounts, lost financial records, ATM cards, direct deposits, and how to contact a bank branch can be obtained by calling
1-877-ASK-FDIC or 1-877-275-3342, or by online request form.
Employees will need to make new arrangements with another bank or credit union for Electronic Fund Transfers ONLY if their previous financial institutions are no longer operating. (These are mostly small, local banks; large, regional or national institutions are less likely to be affected.)
Those affected employees should provide the following information to their servicing Workforce Management Office (WFM):
Employee's name and Social Security Number
New financial institution's
Name, branch, and address
Routing number
Employee's account number
As soon as NFC is online again, WFM will provide NFC the employee's new account information for direct deposits.
