 Hi Everyone,
I goofed on some of your entries for payroll deduction.If you received a check back from Minneapolis that said "Attached check represents
an allotment/net to bank electronic funds transfer refund" it means you have to enter the deduction in again. I did not put enough 7's in the one spot
(I would have thought it would kick it out right away but it didn't) So please enter it again. Here's how:
How to Use Postal Ease for a direct deduction to PAC
Sign on to "Lite Blue" by clicking hereClick on the MY LIFE tab at the top of the page
Under Payroll click on Allotments/ Payroll NTB
Sign on to Postal Ease
Go to Allotments
Begin (add) and allotment
The nine digit FINACIAL INSTITUTION ROUTING NUMBER IS 054001220 for NAPUS PAC
Your account number to be credited is 77777777 followed by your social security number (That is 8 instead of 7 sevens)
Type of account is checking
Enter amount to be alloted each pay period
Please forgive me and please enter your allotment in. If you want me to help you please call me at 419 215-2227. PLEASE let everyone know about this
Thank you

 The Postal Service has received approval from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to offer voluntary early retirement to employees in the clerk, mail handler, supervisor of distribution operations and supervisor of customer services positions nationwide. Postmasters were not in this VERA request approval. President Dale Goff and the League President wrote a joint letter to the Postal Service requesting that Postmasters be included in the VERA. A copy of that letter can be read on the NAPUS web page (www.NAPUS.org) under the “breaking news” icon. Possible more approvals will be coming from OPM soon.
At the 2008 State Convention in Lima, Ohio it was voted to add a $1.00 assessment to all active Postmaster dues. This additional assessment will go toward the scholarship fund. Scholarships have been funded by only those attending the State Convention. It was felt that since all Postmasters, Retired Postmasters and their families are eligible to receive the benefit this would be a more equitable way to fund the program.
