impacted'' by this incident. Once the minimally required information 
has been input into the OPM secure portal, it will be compared to an 
electronic master file and verification will be accomplished 
electronically. After the Government has validated the individual's 
status, the DoD Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) will generate and 
mail a response letter. This letter will either confirm eligibility and 
contain a PIN for impacted individuals, or confirm that the individual 
was not impacted by this cybersecurity incident.
    The DoD DMDC will retain the information collected in a ``holding 
file'' until the contract end of performance on December 31, 2018. This 
will allow individuals who lose or never receive their PINs to use the 
portal and helpdesk to determine eligibility throughout the entire 
contract period.
