DIRECT ACCESS CHALLENGES

Our Pay and Personnel Center team members are users of Direct Access –just like you– and are similarly impacted by challenges with the system.  Though the Pay and Personnel Center does not own or control repairs to Direct Access, we continue to advocate with the Program Office to prioritize repairs and the C5I Service Center to conduct those repairs.  We appreciate your patience and grace during this time period.

In essence, Direct Access is our ship . . . and our ship is damaged and undergoing depot-level repairs.  The crew at the Pay and Personnel Center are just as eager for Direct Access to come back to fully mission capable, so we can better serve our Coast Guard families.

RETIRED PAY

At present, for temporary, permanent, VA offset, AEW’s, CRDP, and CRSC disability, we are encountering a processing delay due to systematic issues and a shortage of personnel. You remain our primary concern. We want to assure you that we are fully committed to resolving these issues promptly and handling your cases with utmost proficiency.

must be maintained for the period from recommendation to advancement.
In addition, E-7, E-8, and E-9 candidates must not have an unsatisfactory

which they participated. Personnel who have been invalidated must be
recommended and qualify again through a new SWE or MCAP competition.

of ineligible personnel per Article 3.A.21, 3.A.27.f or 4.D.3 of Ref A.
When advancement is to be withheld or cancelled, the CO shall advise
PPC (ADV) by e-mail via AOIX at CMD-SMB-CG-PPC with CG PSC as
