Each national organization is identified by a specific alphabetical code as shown in 923.
The post office finance number is used to identify each post office local organization. Official state codes are used to identify the postmaster and rural carrier organization subdivisions.
In some cases, an employee working at one postal installation is a member of a local organization identified with a different post office. The postal installation finance number is used to identify the office of employment. In addition, the post office finance number used to identify such remote or district local organization is also entered.
If a member is attached directly to the national organization or state division instead of to a local organization, the words “Member at Large” are shown after the name of the organization. Such members include those at post offices that do not have local organizations. The finance number should be the state code followed by four zeros (i.e., 35–0000).
