RSS Feed Instructions

What is RSS?

RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication." An RSS reader will scan a website to check if anything has been updated, and then display the updated content.

What is the benefit of RSS?

If you visit chcoc.gov frequently to see if there are any new OPM memos, you could benefit from subscribing to the RSS feed. This will allow you to be notified of any new memos automatically, without having to check the website yourself.
