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.
