The U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps (Corps) is migrating active duty pay (ADP) and certain personnel functions to the U.S. Coast Guard’s (USCG) Direct Access (DA) system on January 1, 2016. To prepare for this migration, Commissioned Corps Headquarters (CCHQ) must complete comprehensive system testing and preparation for this transition. The dedication of personnel and time to accomplish these tasks over the next six months will disrupt normal delivery of CCHQ services.
Impact on Officers:
- In preparation for the Direct Access migration and system shutdown from December, 18, 2015 to January 4, 2016, CCHQ must shutdown certain functions. Please see attached for a list of services that will be off-line over the next few months in order for CCHQ to prepare for the systems migration to DA. Also included is a list of upcoming deadlines for submitting forms and service requests.
- CCHQ will accept service requests again after DA goes live on January 5, 2016 and can begin processing once the system is fully operational. Effective dates for service requests should be no earlier than February 1, 2016:
Our goal is a smooth transition for every officer and we apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.
