MNCC has updated the CPPA Receipts eLearning course to include the expanded process in NSIPS to include all four panels. The catalog code is PERS2-PAYPERS-CPPA-RECEIPTS-V2.0. If you have previously completed the V1.0 course, please enroll and complete V2.0
at your earliest convenience. Additionally, you will be given an opportunity to provide feedback to us about the viability of the content after the assessment is completed.
The CPPA serves as the critical link between an individual Sailor, his or her command, and the supporting personnel support organization. CPPAs provide input to their Commanding Officer/Officer in Charge on issues related to Navy pay and personnel within the command; facilitate Navy pay and personnel transactions for command personnel on the behalf of the pay and personnel supporting organization; facilitate command level support to Billet Based Distribution (BBD) processes within the command; and provide guidance to command personnel on changes to Navy pay and personnel policies and procedures. CPPAs also perform Navy pay, personnel, and travel transactions at the appropriate level for both shore and afloat commands in accordance with policies, procedures, and system capabilities.
Prospective students of the CPPA C-School please take the time to read the letter from the Center for Service Support detailing the security requirements to attend the course. Please ensure you adhere to the requirements contained in the CANTRAC along with this
letter to ensure you are able to secure a quota and attend the course. Click here to access letter

CPPA Duties and Responsibilities
Obtain and maintain access to systems/software necessary to complete CPPA duties (i.e., OMPF, ESR, TOPS, etc.). The CPPA Toolbox information sheet -- updated 3 AUG 2018 and located in the box on the right -- provides steps required to request and obtain systems access.
Carefully review personnel documents and information routed between the PSD or FSC and supported Sailors to ensure all forms are properly completed, all required documentation and attachments are provided, and all information appears to be sufficient to resolve the transaction in a timely manner.
Attend all scheduled CPPA Training provided by the PSD/CSD or NOSC. If unable to attend, arrange to receive information provided via alternate means.
In every action, always protect the Personally Identifiable Information (PII) of command personnel. If at any time PII is compromised, report the spillage as soon as it is discovered.
Use the left navigation bar to locate information and resources supporting specific CPPA tasks.
Removal of RED/DA (Page 2) as KSD for Travel Claim Processing (Ops Alert Ser 003-19) . 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 May 1st, 2019 and after.
NAVADMIN 231/17 updates Career Management System-Interactive Detailing (CMS-ID) processes and Career Waypoints-Reenlistment timelines.
PPIB 17/10 clarifies the extension process and specifies pay and personnel systems that require the CPPA A16A NEC for access.
PPIB 17/06 indicates that the Navy eLearning course, PERS2-PAYPERS-CPPA-CPPATRAINING-V1.0, is updated to align CPPA training with NEC A16A requirements.
All of the NPPSC email OPS ALERTS are archived here.
- Complete required training in accordance with PPIB 17/06.
Note: Earlier this year the CPPA Overview Course was pulled down due to Adobe Flash issues and we took that opportunity to take a hard look at the content. Although we are working as quickly as we can to update content on the CPPA Overview Course to align with the actual CPPA C-School, we need to move forward with an interim solution for the OJT/non C-School option for awarding the NEC. In accordance with MILPERSMAN 1000-021; CPPAs must be designated in writing, complete the CPPA C-School or CPPA Overview course, complete 2 TWMS eLearning courses on PII and Records Management, and submit a NAVPERS 1221/6 to PERS-4013. The current change is for CPPAs who cannot attend the CPPA C-School and require the NEC, completion of the required PII and Records Management courses in addition to the following 25 Navy eLearning courses in lieu of the CPPA Overview Course. See CPPA Handbook or PPIB 21-17.
Additional online tools
Although the CPPA is not expected to be an expert in all areas of pay and personnel administration, familiarity with directives and manuals will increase CPPA awareness and effectiveness.
