THIS MESSAGE TARGETS PERSONNEL, ADMINISTRATIVE, DISBURSING, AND PASS OFFICES 
REGARDING CURRENT PAY/PERSONNEL ISSUES FOR BOTH ACTIVE AND RESERVE PERSONNEL. 

2.  ISSUE 190901:  PERS 2 publishes a "list of effective changes" for Pay/
Personnel/Travel SOPs.  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 website pages.

3.  SOP CHANGES SUMMARY - APRIL 2019

As part of the update process 2019 NAVADMINs thru 102/19, PPIBs (thru 19-08), 
MPAs (thru 05-19), NPPSC OPS Alerts and other Pay/Pers community feedback/
updates were reviewed to identify additional reference documents and procedural 
changes/work around required for the existing SOPs. 

Note: Ops Alerts are now issued in a more professional format and have been 
serialized to facilitate ready access and archiving.  All of the NPPSC email 
OPS ALERTS for 2018 and 2019 are archived at: 
https://mpte.navy.deps.mil/sites/npc/pers2/NPPSC/NPPSC%20OPS%20ALERTS/Forms/AllItems.aspx. 
This link is also under the Communication short cut menu on the NPPSC SharePoint 
homepage. All future Ops Alerts will be archived here. 2016 and 2017 Ops Alerts 
will also be archived at a later date.

  a. Changes/updates with the most significant impact to the SOPs and PAYPERS community:
CO, NPPSC Memo Ser 1070 dtd 30 Apr 2019 Subj: Record of Emergency Data/Dependency 
Application (RED/DA) Management Option for OICs and Directors authorizes PSDs to 
grant Personnel Clerk and Personnel Supervisor accounts in NSIPS to select CPPAs 
IAW the provisions outlined in the Action Paragraph of the subject memo. 

4.  Ops Alert Updates:

  a. Subject: Ops Alert - Travel Claim Reform 

BLUF:   Travel Claim Reform
Effective 1 April 2019, the DLA statement and travel checklist are no longer required 
key supporting documentation.  Additionally, audit requirements may be relaxed based 
upon Examiner performance and experience. 
DISCUSSION:
- The DLA statement is no longer a KSD. All of the required information from the 
DLA form must be listed on the 1351-2: Block 5 marked DLA, Block 12 Dependents 
and license plate numbers must be listed in Block 10d. Note: If dependents travel 
separately from the Service Member, two DD 1351-2 still need to be submitted to 
show the separate itineraries.
- Although the PCS checklist is not a KSD, it is a good tool for the Sailor, CPPA 
and travel office to use as a guide for required documents for processing travel 
claims. However, not having the checklist will "not" be the only reason to return 
a travel claim. If all required documentation is provided except for the checklist 
the travel office will process the claim.
- Current standards are for 100% audit of all travel claims. At this time each 
travel office can request to reduce the audit percentage for specific travel examiners
with an accuracy rate above 90%. The reduced audit requirement is not mandatory but 
a tool to increase production while maintaining a reasonable risk. Before changes can 
be made, provide data (Examiner Accuracy Report or other measurable report) to reflect 
the travel examiners accuracy rate. This report will cover a three-month average for 
the travel examiner.  However, all claims over $2,500 entitlement (Total of all 
entitlements paid on "calculations" tab in WINIATS) must be audited, no exceptions. 
Travel examiners with less than six months of experience at a NPPSC travel office 
will require an audit requirement of 100%. 

Accuracy              Audit Requirement
Above 95%             10%
90-95%                50% 
Below 90%             100%      
The changes from the Ops Alert have immediate impact for examiners, CPPAs and Travelers 
and have been updated in SOPs and will be updated in Computer Based Training (CBT) 
that support travel processes. 

  b. Subject: Processing of NMCRS Fund Drive Allotments
BLUF:   Processing of NMCRS Fund Drive Allotments During the Campaign Season
ALNAV 014/19, 2019 Active Duty Fund Drive in Support of the Navy-Marine Corps Relief 
Society, announced the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS) fund drive kick off. 
It was brought to our attention that there is some confusion regarding submission of NMCRS 
fund drive allotment forms to PSD for processing.
DISCUSSION: Command representatives are returning the allotment forms to their local 
NMCRS offices. The proper procedure is for the Service Member to submit the NMCRS fund 
drive allotment forms to the NMCRS command representative who will then forward them 
to the command CPPA who in turn will upload the forms into TOPS utilizing the customer 
service box. This will allow the PSD staff to receive, process and close the transaction 
once completed.
Procedures to upload allotment forms to TOPS: Scan and submit in batches by UICs. Do not 
mix with different UICs.
ACTION: All PSDs should educate their CPPAs on the proper way to submit NMCRS fund drive allotment 
forms. Preferred method of submission is via TOPS, however, if received via mail or hand 
delivered process accordingly. Do not return.

  c. Subject: EAW Feedback and User Role Update
BLUF: EAW feedback and an ESO user role update. We are making progress with ESO user roles, 
currently at 33%. Continue to direct customer commands to submit requests for their 
appropriate EAW user role access and to provide input regarding their EAW feedback.

  d. Subject: SRB Cancellations

BLUF: BUPERS-3 has seen a drastic increase in Reenlistment documents for SRB not being 
released in a timely manner, causing hardship on the Sailor. 

  e. Subject: Removal of RED/DA (Page 2) as KSD for Travel Claim Processing

BLUF:  Effective 01 May 2019, the RED/DA (Page 2) is no longer required as a key supporting 
document (KSD) to process travel claims. All Travel Claims signed 1 May 2019 and after.
Note: This Ops Alert coincides with the 01 May 2019 Update to MPM 1070-270, Dependency 
Application, which removed previous Para 4a(3)(g), NAVPERS 1070/602 verification as a 
requirement for claims reimbursement for dependent travel. However, NAVPERS 1070/602 Dependency 
Application verification is still required for the following:
Para 4a(3)(a) Upon reporting to a new duty station under permanent change of station (PCS) 
orders;
Para 4a(3)(b) Prior to departure on PCS orders;
Para 4a(3)(h) At least 30 days prior to requesting dependent related travel, transportation, 
pay, benefits, or allowances (e.g., advanced or delayed dependent travel, dependent travel 
advances, early return of dependents, etc.).

  f. Subject: CPPA NSIPS Access for Processing Dependency Applications (NAVPERS 1070/602)

BLUF: Personnel Clerk/Supervisor Access can be granted, at the OIC/Director level to 
exceptional CPPAs to reduce backlog of Dependency Applications in NSIPS.
  
  g. Subject: T&LA Process for International Students

BLUF:  All Travel and Living Allowance (T&LA) payments for International Military Students 
(IMS) are to be submitted to Naval Education and Training Security Assistance Field 
Activity (NETSAFA) NAS Pensacola effective 6 May 2019.
