USPS Ethics Awareness Week is an employee education program about recognizing ethics issues and seeking the correct guidance. It is not a general postal-history or stamp-design event.
2025 program
The August 18-22, 2025 program covered mail sanctity, Voyager fuel cards, gifts and bribes, postal vehicles and employment involving a spouse or relative.
What the ethics office covers
USPS ethics guidance addresses financial conflicts, impartiality, misuse of position, time or property, nepotism, gifts, post-employment limits, outside work, sales and political activity.
Use the right contact
Ethics questions can go to [email protected] or 202-268-6346. Service and delivery problems use 1-800-ASK-USPS; qualifying employee misconduct goes to USPS OIG; mail fraud uses 1-800-372-8347.
Scope
Do not send every customer-service complaint or suspected crime to the ethics office. Identify the issue first, preserve relevant facts and use the responsible channel.
Sources and update note
Issue facts and current postal rules should be checked against the linked primary sources. Prices, inventory, services and policies can change.
