REF B IS UNITED STATES CODE TITLE 5, GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION AND EMPLOYEES.// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN announces the semi-annual update and verification of personal information in the Navy Family Accountability and Assessment System (NFAAS) which is required no later than 30 April 2018. If a record has been updated in the system between 1 October 2017 and 30 April 2018, that record is considered validated for the 30 April 2018 deadline. NFAAS is the system utilized by the Navy to account for personnel and their families during widespread natural or man-made disasters. Accurate contact information for personnel and family members is required to facilitate a quick and accurate muster of personnel in affected areas. As directed in reference (a), updates of personal information will be verified as current twice annually. 2. Applicability. This message applies to all Navy personnel, uniformed (active duty and Reserve), Navy civilians, and outside continental United States (OCONUS) contractors in line with the subparagraphs 2a through 2c: a. All military personnel must update and verify contact information and update information for all categories of dependents. b. All non-bargaining unit civilian employees must update their contact information. Providing dependent information is voluntary but highly encouraged. Failure to provide dependent information may exclude them from receiving potential benefits, if applicable. c. In line with reference (b) chapter 71, bargaining unit civilian employees are highly encouraged to provide their contact and dependent information on a voluntary basis, until union notification and subsequent impact and implementation bargaining takes place (when applicable). Providing contact information is critical to ensuring support to Department of the Navy civilians and their dependents during the recovery period following a disaster. 3. Echelon 2 commanders, region commanders, and region personnel accountability representatives will ensure widest dissemination to all subordinate, tenant commands, and detachments for action as required. All commanding officers (CO)/officers-in-charge (OIC) will ensure timely and accurate updates of Navy and family member contact information as stated above. COs/OICs will also contact the human resources office to request applicable union notifications. This requirement also includes OCONUS contractors (must enter associated unit identification code). A report of those commands not in compliance with this NAVADMIN will be provided to the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations for review. All personnel may logon to NFAAS at https://navyfamily.navy.mil and update or verify contact information as required. 4. Additionally, each command will institute policies requiring personnel to update their NFAAS data during check-in and check-out as standard practice. Military members and dependents must update NFAAS any time they make a permanent change of address. Civilian non-bargaining unit employees must update their contact information and are highly encouraged to update their dependents information on a voluntary basis whenever there is a change. Civilian bargaining unit employees are also highly encouraged to keep their information up to date whenever there is a change. 5. For military and civilian members to update contact data, utilize the NFAAS site at https://navyfamily.navy.mil. Login and update member information under the "My Info" tab, "Contact Information" section, and update the work location of the sponsor. Update family member information under the "My Info" tab, "Family Member Info" section. Edit member and family member information as necessary and verify as current. All family members enrolled in the exceptional family member program must be identified as such. 6. The NFAAS site can also be accessed from any android, iPhone, or blackberry mobile device web browser. Although the application uses the same uniform resource locator address as the NFAAS website, when accessed via mobile device, the site will be optimized to allow easy viewing and navigation. The following limited capabilities are available via the mobile web application: a. Update sponsor contact information. b. Enter evacuation location information. c. Allow users to muster. d. Allow users to complete a needs assessment. 7. CO representatives can validate contact information has been verified by using the personnel tab in NFAAS and use the "Export To Excel" option. Column N contains the date the contact information was last updated. 8. A tool is available in NFAAS to allow commands to "pull" personnel into their unit identification code (UIC). This allows the command representative to pull information into the correct UIC to ensure accurate accountability within NFAAS. 9. Points of contact: a. NFAAS help desk/Space and Naval Warfare System Command at (866) 946-9183 or via e-mail and can be reached at nfaas(at)spawar.navy.mil. b.
