The responsibilities of the Center contacts for the NEBS application are:

1. Ensure FPPS data is correct. The data for the NASA Benefits Statement is downloaded from the Federal Personnel Payroll System (FPPS) every pay period. This includes data fields in the Personnel Master, the Personnel History, and the Payroll MER files. It is each Center's responsibility to ensure that the FPPS data is correct on their employees.

2. Generate passwords memos. Passwords are automatically generated for all new permanent employees. Access is given to each Center for printing out the password memos for mailing to these new employees.

3. Reset passwords. Passwords may be easily reset for employees who have incorrectly entered their password or have lost or misplaced their number. Access is given to each Center to reset these numbers for their employees and generate a new password memo to be mailed to the employee.

4. Benefits Counselors. A list of Benefits and Retirement Counselors is maintained in a table. Access if given to each Center to add, change, or delete information from their Center's table. The table information includes the Counselors' name, phone number, fax number, email address, and any other additional information that is applicable to the particular Center.
