Reports of Direct Deposit Changes

Subject: Reports of direct deposit changes

All,

I have been receiving individual reports from around the country of problems with employees’ direct deposits. It seems that some are reporting that changes have been made to their direct deposits have been changed to a bank account that does not belong to them and they are not receiving their paychecks. I have received no reports from the Postal Service of a system comprise, but if I do, I will share the information with the field.

Please, everyone needs to do the following:

  1. Login into LiteBlue and change passwords—do it even if nothing has happened
  2. Check your payroll. If it is not being deposited immediately:
    1. Call HRSSC and report
    2. Call finance and report (HRSSC can provide the number)
    3. Once reported, ask your immediate supervisor for a pay advance if you were comprised. If you were not comprised—do not ask for a pay advance as this will only complicate things for those who have been legitimately compromised. If an advance is denied, immediately report the denial to your local or state union.
  3. Do not give your information to anyone. There have been reports that some “loan” companies-aka check cashing advance—places asking for LiteBlue info—DO NOT GIVE THEM INFO!

The Postal Service is in the process of switching to Multifactor Authentication for all LiteBlue Transactions. I am not disputing this change as it is important to protect everyone’s info. This will add an additional layer of security to protect our employees.
