DIRECT ACCESS

Direct Access (DA) is currently offline due to the implementation of security enhancements. Stakeholders throughout the C5I Community and CGCYBER are working tirelessly to bring DA back online as quickly as possible - WE APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE! 

DA’s status will be updated accordingly on the logon screen once services are fully restored. 

ATTENTION: As announced in ALCOAST 105/25, the implementation of multi-factor authentication (MFA) for DA began on 17 March 2025 to improve security.   

• Once successfully implemented, Coast Guard users with CGOne Network Accounts must log in via Common Access Card (CAC).  

• Non-CAC holders (Retirees, Annuitants and those without a CGOne account) will perform a password reset prior to attempting to log in. The use of MFA one-time passcodes will be implemented for Non-CAC holders at a later date. Guidance with pre-generated passwords is being sent to users outside of the CGOne Network via email addresses on file within DA. Non-CAC holders who did not receive the email must contact the Product Support Service Desk for assistance. 

Once services are restored, contact the Product Support Service Desk at 800-821-7081 (Mon-Fri, 6:30AM-6:30PM, EST) or via email at SMB-USCG-KerWV-ProductSupportSD@uscg.mil for assistance with password rests or logon assistance.  

All other requests will continue to be handled by the Pay and Personnel Center (PPC) Customer Care Help Desk who can reached via email at PPC-DG-CustomerCare@uscg.mil or by phone at 866-772-8724.  

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.
