NARR/REF A is the Procedures Training Guide, Part 1,
Chapter 3 (pending update). REF B is MPA 08/13 with clarifying
information for separation payment procedures. REF C is
MPA 40/13 describing separation worksheet requirements.
RMKS/1. The purpose of this advisory is to ensure Navy separating
activities ashore and afloat review REF A and comply with
all separation worksheet requirements listed within and below.
REF B and REF C are hereby superseded by this MPA.
2.  3892 Accounts:  All Separating ADSNs will open individual
Defense Workload Operating Web System (DWOWS) cases and upload a
locally completed or DFAS MILPAY Repository (DMR) separation
worksheet with a copy of all supporting documentation
(i.e. DD 214, Separation Orders) as outlined in REF A
for ALL separations that are in a V (separated) status where
local payment was NOT completed and member is ADSN 3892
(member due payment) status.  DFAS Cleveland will only disburse
separation payments on worksheets that are received via DWOWS
and the submitted worksheet is within $100 of posted NT or
PQ/PX payment on the pay account (unless adjustments are
required which is addressed in paragraph). To create the DWOWS
case for ADSN 3892 accounts, submit to DWOWS System
"Navy Separations" and Case Type "Separation."
3.  3892 Accounts that require DFAS adjustment:  If submitted
separation worksheet by the field requires additional DFAS adjustments
to the pay account (such as E503/E504 Rejects, Involuntary
Separation Pay adjustments, Lump Sum Leave adjustments, retroactive
entitlements) ensure to annotate the remarks with action required
and include all pertinent documentation.  The submitted worksheet
should show the updated amount based on requested pay adjustments.
DWOWS cases not in accordance with updated guidance in paragraph 2
for 3892 accounts will be annotated and closed with no action taken.
4.  3891 Accounts: Separating ADSNs will open individual DWOWS cases
and upload a locally completed or DMR separation worksheet with a copy
of all supporting documentation (to include DD 214, Separation Orders)
as outlined in REF A for members that are in a ADSN 3891 (debt)
status and debt on the pay account is NOT VALID.  The submitted
worksheet should show the updated amount based on requested pay
adjustments and include all pertinent documentation. To create the
DWOWS case for ADSN 3891 pay accounts, submit to DWOWS System
"Navy DFAS-Indianapolis" and Case Type
"Separation/Disability Pay."
5.  Members that are ADSN 3891 status and the pay account debt is VALID
require no additional action.
6.  DFAS will provide reports to Afloat ADSNs/HRSC weekly that will show
all pending separation payments.
7.  It is highly suggested that separating members maintain their current
EFT accounts for a minimum of one year to avoid payments returned to DFAS and
causing delays in receipt of monies for the member.
8.  Request widest dissemination.//
