Welcome
Welcome to the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO)at New Orleans! Congratulations on your decision to join the ranks of Federal employment, and in particular, the USDA Agency known as the Office of the Chief Financial Officer. The primary purpose of this page is to provide you with information that you need to have even prior to your first day of work.
In the HR Back Office menu you will find specific forms that are necessary for in-processing, so that you can report for duty with your package of forms already completed. If you have questions about any particular form or information being requested, please print out the form, even if all you have is your name on the form. We will be reviewing your paperwork on your first day and will provide all of the assistance that you need. You will have already received a confirmation of job offer, which provides you with information pertinent to your type of appointment.
The OCFO Human Resources Management Staff (HRMS) will provide employment services and personnel to you. You should have already been contacted by a member of the staff if you have reached this page.
