When a federal employee transfers to a new agency, the Gaining agency requests the employee's folder from NPRC. HR professionals review the transfer request details and SF 127 form. After reviewing, they can deny or process transfer, depending on the information submitted by the Gaining agency.
When a federal employee begins working at a new agency, the Gaining agency will request the employee's folder from NPRC. NPRC users can access new incoming transfer requests from two locations:

The Active tab on the Task List

Clicking on a row from the Task Summary or the Task List will take you to the Request Details page. It is organized in a way to provide HR Professionals with the most important information they need to complete their work right upon viewing the request.
