All SOPs Summary updates are posted at: https://mpte.navy.deps.mil/sites/npc/pers2/SOPs%20Updates/Forms/AllItems.aspx A quick launch link (SOPs Updates) is also on PERS-2, NPPSC, and all of the PSD site pages. SOP Updates January 2017 3. General Comments: As part of the update process 2017 NAVADMINs (thru 024/17), PPIBs (thru 17-01), and MPAs (thru 02/17) were reviewed to identify additional reference requirements and procedural changes/work around required for the existing SOPs. NAVADMIN 004/17 Voluntary Extension of Enlistment to Complete Prescribed Sea Tour for First-Term Personnel (discussed last month) and PPIB 17-01, Review and Approval of Travel Vouchers released 17 Jan 2017, were the only messages with direct impact. A. Separations SOP Updates (NAVADMIN 260/16 and new DD 2648 eForm): The Seps SOP was updated to reflect the issuance of the new DD 2648 eForm, and the cancelation of the former DD 2648 Pre-Sep counseling, DD 2648-1 Reserve TAP, and DD 2958 ITP Checklist, so there are no longer process steps related to the old forms. In the update to the Seps SOP, there are four control activities to ensure the SSN is applied to the printed eForm: (1) Transition Counselor/CCC is directed to write the Service Member’s SSN in the upper left corner of the .pdf version of the completed DD 2648 eForm (after Commander’s Verification) and the printing of the eForm; (2) CPPA is directed to verify SSN in upper left corner prior to TOPS transaction; (3) PSD supervisor/clerk are directed to verify SSN in upper left corner upon receipt and review of the TOPS transaction; and (4) PSD clerk is directed to verify SSN in upper left corner prior to e-Sub to the OMPF. B. MPM Change 58 (updated MPM 1000-021): ALL SOPs impacted: MPM 1000-021 was recently revised (17 Jan 2017) to update the CPC to CPPA and define minimum requirements for the appointment of a Command Pay and Personnel Administrator (CPPA), as well as basic responsibilities of supported commands, supporting Personnel Support Detachments (PSDs), Functional Service Centers (FSCs), and designated CPPAs. Accordingly, ALL of the SOPs, CPC COI Training, Clerk Training, and the CPC Resources Overview WBTs are being updated to reflect the NEW CPPA role designation. C. NSIPS Release 1.4.8.0 ALL SOPs impacted; Reenlistment SOP impacted by software update to correct prior issue regarding Reenlistment closeout process from NSIPS Release 1.4.7.0: Release 1.4.8.0 of NSIPS was deployed the weekend of January 28-29, 2017. This maintenance release included Expanded Command PASS Coordinator Capabilities - The Command PASS Coordinator Role has been expanded to include the capability to: • Create Extensions • Create re-enlistment contracts • Create retirement requests • Make an extension operative (effective) • Cancel an extension • Create certain entitlements • Create a Record of Unauthorized absence • Create a Court Memorandum • Create an Enlisted or Officer strength loss • Start/Stop/Report Combat Zone Tax Exclusion (CZTE) D. DODI 1341.14 SERVICEMEMBERS' GROUP LIFE INSURANCE (SGLI) ON-LINE ENROLLMENT SYSTEM (SOES): SGLI and FSGLI SOP NEWS in March. E. FIAR Audit of Travel SOPs and PPIB 17-01: The FIAR audit is ongoing and the comments are consistent with prior audit comments. The FIAR continues to recommend added emphasis on SOP Document Retention Steps, consistent with current guidance contained in the SOPs as reflected in PPIB 15-17 and NAVADMIN 66/16, as well as emphasis on Internal Control Actions/Control Points as reflected in SOP MMPA steps, specifically initial entitlement verification and processing verification steps, but applicable to the entire transaction process from its initiation and authorization through the final verification of the proper processing of the transaction. F. Recall to Active Duty (primary impact to PSD Norfolk): The Recall to Active Duty SOP sparked some recent discussion amongst the stakeholders, specifically NECC, ECRC and PERS-21, regarding the authority to transfer Reserve Service Members Recalled to Active Duty without an open pay account. Prior CNIC guidance (which prohibited transfer of Recalled Reservists to OCONUS assignments in the event the Service Member’s pay account was not OPEN) was reviewed and the principals involved decided upon the following updated guidance: DO NOT transfer Service Member from NMPS (CONUS processing location) until Strength Gain has posted and pay account has opened. Exception 1: Service Members may transfer from NMPS to INCONUS training assignments without an open Active Duty Pay Account if Expeditionary Combat Readiness Center (ECRC) approval is obtained prior to transfer. Exception 2: Service Members may transfer from NMPS to Ultimate Duty Station (INCONUS or OCONUS) without an open Active Duty Pay Account if Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) approval is obtained prior to transfer. The updated guidance and exception criteria have been incorporated in the Recall to Active Duty SOP. 4. POC: Mr. Wayne Ross, PERS-21, 901-874-2179, wayne.ross@navy.mil// BT #0001 NNNN
