RMKS/1. ON OUR MOST RECENT SITE VISIT TO THE NORTHWEST, AN ISSUE
WAS BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION THAT PERTAINS TO BAH TRANSACTIONS
SUBMITTED VIA ACTIVITY GAIN SUBMISSION. NSIPS ACTIVITY GAINS
SUBMITTED WITH ZERO AMOUNT GENERATED FOR BAQ 
(MEMBERS IN GOVERNMENT QUARTERS) VICE BAH FOR THE 30 CENTS RATE
WHEN ENTITLED TO A HOUSING ALLOWANCE WILL GENERATE A MANAGEMENT
NOTICE WITH ERROR CODE EJD.  THIS ERROR CODE SHOULD BE 
INVESTIGATED. PAY OFFICES SHOULD MONITOR JJAM FOR PROCESSED OR
PARTIALLY PROCESSED SG TRANSACTIONS WHEN VERIFYING NSIPS ACTIVITY
GAIN PROCESSING TO AVOID POTENTIAL PAY ISSUES FOR ACTIVE DUTY 
PERSONNEL.  THESE ERRORS ARE ON NSIPS GAINS. DMO INPUT IS NOT
AFFECTED.
2.  IAW REFS A AND B AND TO PREVENT THIS CONDITION FROM OCCURRING
WHEN PROCESSING NSIPS ACTIVITY GAINS, PAY OFFICES SHOULD ENSURE
THE MEMBERS BAH ENTITLEMENT IS VERIFIED AND THE APPROPRIATE DATA 
FIELDS ARE COMPLETED ON THE SECOND PAGE OF THE NSIPS TRANSACTION.   
3. AT THE TOP OF THE SECOND PAGE THE FIELDS, ZIP CODE, BAQ ACCOM
STATUS AND BAQ TYPE ARE PRESENT.  WHEN A MEMBER IS ENTITLED TO
ANY TYPE OF BAH (68) OR BAQ (35) SOME OR ALL OF THESE FIELDS
MUST BE COMPLETED APPROPRIATELY.  BELOW IS SOME ADDITIONAL
GUIDANCE FOR BAH PROCESSING ON NSIPS ACTIVITY GAINS:
A)  MEMBER WITHOUT DEPENDENTS, CLOSEST DEPN R ENTITLED SINGLE BAH.
ENTER THE APPROPRIATE ZIP CODE, ENTER 0 (RECEIVING SINGLE BAQ) IN 
THE BAQ ACCOM STATUS, AND UNDER THE BAQ TYPE DROP DOWN CHOOSE 8
(START BAQ SINGLE NO DEPN). 
B)  MEMBER WITHOUT DEPENDENTS, CLOSEST DEPN I ENTITLED SINGLE BAH.
ENTER THE APPROPRIATE ZIP CODE, ENTER 0 (RECEIVING SINGLE BAQ) IN
THE BAQ ACCOM STATUS, AND UNDER THE BAQ TYPE DROP DOWN 
CHOOSE 9 (START SINGLE BAQ MBR TO MBR).
C)  MEMBER WITH DEPENDENTS, CLOSEST DEPN A, C, OR W ENTITLED
DEPENDENT BAH.  ENTER THE APPROPRIATE ZIP CODE, ENTER 1
(RECEIVING BAQ W/DEPN) IN THE BAQ ACCOM STATUS, AND LEAVE
THE BAQ TYPE DROP DOWN FIELD BLANK.
D)  MEMBER WITH DEPENDENTS, CLOSEST DEPN A, C, OR W ASSIGNED TO
GOVERNMENT QUARTERS (NOT INCLUDING PRIVATIZED HOUSING).
IF THE 35 LINE ALREADY SHOWS ASSIGNED GOVERNMENT QUARTERS IN
DJMS LEAVE ALL FIELDS BLANK.  IF THE MEMBER IS CURRENTLY
RECEIVING ANY BAH(68) OR BAQ(35) IN DJMS USE THE PROCEDURE IN
EXAMPLE 3 AND THEN STOP THE BAH AFTER THE GAIN HAS POSTED.
E)  MEMBER WITHOUT DEPENDENTS, CLOSEST DEPN R OR I ENTITLED TO
PARTIAL BAH.  LEAVE THE ZIP CODE AND BAQ ACCOM STATUS BLANK.
IN BAQ TYPE ENTER 6 FOR DEPN R OR 7 FOR DEPN I TO START BAQ PARTIAL.//
