Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find official OPM status?

What does "Open" status mean?
Employees report on time, normal operations. Unscheduled leave or telework may be optional per agency.
Does OPM issue status for agencies outside DC?
No. OPM covers only Washington DC area inside the Capital Beltway. Other locations follow local agency guidance.
What about delayed arrival or early dismissal?
Delayed arrival means employees report 2 hours late; early dismissal allows non-essential employees to leave early. Liberal leave policy applies.
