Dear Commissioned Corps Officers,
As you may know, on Friday, November 18, we safely restored access to the Commissioned Corps Management Information System (CCMIS) available at https://dcp.psc.gov/ccmis. The system had been disabled while we made technical fixes and rigorously test those fixes following a security issue we confirmed in October.
While CCMIS remains online and is secure, users are experiencing difficulty logging onto the system due to high volume and demand. We are taking a number of steps to mitigate this issue by increasing capacity and decreasing immediate demand on the system. Accordingly, we are further extending COERs deadlines to allow officers additional time to submit this information. Revised deadlines are outlined in the table below. Officers will not be penalized for missing previous document submission deadlines or readiness checks due to inaccessibility of the system. Officers eligible for promotion should see a notification in the officer secure area of CCMIS.
Additionally, we have updated the FAQs on this issue, which are below and available at https://www.surgeongeneral.gov/ccinfo. If you have additional questions or feedback, please use the dedicated email address for this issue: CCinfo@hhs.gov.
Thank you for your patience and professionalism while we continue to improve CCMIS.
Sincerely,
RADM Joan Hunter, BSN, RN, MSW
Director, Division of Commissioned Corps Personnel and Readiness
U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) Commissioned Corps

Frequently Asked Questions about the Commissioned Corps Management Information System
- How should I manage my human resources responsibilities now that the system is back online?
- The Commissioned Corps Management Information System (CCMIS) is now operational and available for your use at https://dcp.psc.gov/ccmis. The process for completing and submitting Commissioned Officer’s Effectiveness Reports (COERS), processing personnel orders including onboarding, transfers, and retirement, and uploading documents including vaccination records into your eOPF has not changed. Due to the disruption in availability of CCMIS we have extended deadlines for completing human resources responsibilities, which are outlined in the table below. Officers will not be penalized for missing previous document submission deadlines or readiness checks due to inaccessibility of the system. Leave request submissions continue to be completed via Direct Access.
