E-GOV TRAVEL SYSTEM (ETS) E-MAIL ISSUE RESOLVED

The issue preventing ETS emails from being received to USCG email addresses has been resolved. Please re-initialize the accounts that did not have access, and the member should now receive the link to reset the account. Remember to have them check junk mail.

Please note a change with the update- these initialize links are now only active for 24 hours - anything after that will need a new link. Forgot Password button links are only active for 5 minutes

All emails for documents pending approval/status/reservations/etc... - should be coming through to the USCG email addresses.

PASSWORD RESET

If your email address is NOT present or is incorrect, you will not be able to use the self-service password reset feature. Your business email address in DIRECT ACCESS must be added to the system or corrected. Active duty and Reserve members must contact your P&A office or Servicing Pay Office (SPO) for assistance to update.

Please note: Customer Care will no longer send password resets for active/reserve military members or civilian employees to personal email addresses. All password resets will be sent to USCG.MIL email addresses only. Do not submit multiple requests. Please allow 5 days upon submission for response.

PPC Assumes Technical Authority for YN

PRINT | E-MAIL

Sept. 6, 2024 —

Good Day,

Effective 1 October 2024, the Pay & Personnel Center (PPC) will assume all responsibilities associated with exercising Technical Authority for all Yeoman and military pay and personnel administration. As Technical Authority for military pay and personnel administration, PPC now has the responsibility, accountability, and authority to establish, monitor, and approve technical standards, tools, processes, and best practices, and to certify conformance with standards, requirements, policy, and statute. From 1 October 2024 on, PPC will be the central repository for all information and questions regarding yeoman technical authority.

What does this mean for Yeoman in the field?

Not a lot will change initially for YN in the field. PPC has been and will remain the Coast Guard’ s number one source for all pay and personnel administration information. In the coming months, YN will notice significant improvements to the delivery/availability of services and products that PPC provides. Serving as the Technical Authority, PPC will strive to provide YN with timely and concise communications, make processes more efficient and user friendly, and give YN resources to bolster their ability to provide exceptional support to their customers.

What we need from You?

Culture. Help us market PPC as the number one resource for answers and support. Please drive your folks to PPC, not social media. PPC is currently developing a Teams page dedicated to providing YN a collaborative virtual workspace where PPC will pass pertinent information, deliver new products, and provide access to subject matter experts to aid in answering questions from YN.
Feedback. Feedback from YN in the field is critical to ensuring PPC can respond to emergent trends, provide support to our customers, and deliver resources at the speed that you need them.
Expectation management. Please help us manage expectations as PPC works diligently to revolutionize the way we support you. Also, please note that PPC does not own the HR systems (Direct Access, travel systems, etc.) that you all utilize. We are a customer just like you and, in most cases, if you are experiencing challenges, we are as well (sometimes on a much larger scale).

We are in this together and it is PPC’s intention to build a stronger relationship with the Yeoman and HR professionals across the Coast Guard. We will strive to be the resource that you all deserve. Thank you for all that you do!

Sincerely,

The Pay & Personnel Center
