USPS Office of Inspector General

We are constantly reminded that cardholders must try their best to protect their Personal Identification Number (PIN) – or else they could be held liable for fraudulent charges. With cyber-crime on the rise, we need to protect all PINs. Postal Service vehicle drivers also must protect their PINs when using the Voyager Fleet Card to make fuel and maintenance  purchases. 

The Postal Service implements physical and environmental security controls at its various facilities to reduce the risk of system and equipment failure, damage from environmental hazards, and unauthorized access to its information technology assets.

Employees of the Postal Service participate in two government-wide pension plans administered by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM): the Civil Service Retirement System and Federal Employee Retirement System. The assets of these plans are held in one fund, the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund (CSRDF), and are managed by OPM and the Department of the Treasury.

There are about 136,000 rural letter carriers and contract delivery suppliers serving thousands of families and businesses in rural and suburban areas covering millions of miles daily. Most recent statistics show that rural letter carriers delivered over 800 million letters and parcels over the past year.   

The Postal Service operates one of the largest civilian vehicle fleets in the world with over 227,000 vehicles used to deliver and collect mail in Fiscal Year 2017. Management assigns a fleet credit card to each postal-owned vehicle to pay for commercially purchased fuel, oil, and maintenance expenses of up to $300.
