The deadline to order semipostal shirts is Aug. 5
Employees can wear the apparel to endorse stamp causes
Postal Service employees have until Wednesday, Aug. 5, to order T-shirts promoting semipostal stamps.
Employees can order special T-shirts, at their own expense, from Tee Luv, a provider of USPS-licensed apparel, using the password USPS2026.
Uniformed employees can wear the Postal Service’s licensed semipostal stamp T-shirts during promotional activities, with the head of the facility’s approval, on one business day each week.
Other employees may wear the T-shirts during work hours, if permitted by the head of the facility. The T-shirts worn should correspond to the semipostal stamp that is being promoted.
The organization offers four semipostal stamps, which raise money for specific causes, and sets aside four months each year to promote them:
• September for the Alzheimer’s stamp;
• October for the Breast Cancer Research stamp;
• November for the Save Vanishing Species stamp; and
• December for the Healing PTSD stamp.
Postal Service facility leaders and employees can promote semipostal stamps during those months but must follow these rules:
• Raffles and drawings are allowed if everyone can enter for free without having to buy a postal product and the prizes have been donated voluntarily by employees or paid for with authorized postal funds.
• Decorations can’t use stamp images, including images of the semipostal stamps being promoted.
• The phrases “Fund the fight. Find a cure,” “#PostalProud” and “Postal Proud” can be used on decorations for Breast Cancer Research stamp activities, as can the Postal Service pink ribbon image, which is available from the USPS ethics team.
• When communicating with the public and news media, employees may only use articles, news releases and marketing materials that have been approved and provided by Corporate Communications, Stamp Services and Marketing.
• USPS employees may not solicit or accept donations from customers.
• Outside organizations can’t distribute materials related to the semipostal stamp’s cause or hold awareness or charitable activities in Post Office lobbies or on postal property.
Employees with questions about semipostal stamp promotional activities should email the USPS Ethics Office.

• Notify the Human Resources Shared Service Center or district human resources within one day of an employee’s departure;
• Suspend the separated employee in eAccess within one day of departure to revoke their access to USPS systems; and
