Discharged/Retired members should continue to use the CCL-TD Email boxes. • Remember to log in DWOWS at least once a month to prevent suspension of your access. Users that have not log into DWOWS for over 90 days, the system will automatically delete your access for security purposes. • When the process of uploading documents is complete, make sure to click on the save and edit tab, to ensure your documents are viewable. If upload problems persist please contact ccl-mb-dwows@dfas.mil • New access requests with email address ending other than .mil, will require programming activation in order to by-pass some of the firewalls installed within the system.

Hostile Fire Pay and Imminent Danger Pay • MPA 11/12 outlines workaround procedures for reporting HFP and IDP. • Members that qualify for HFP due to a hostile fire event in a designated area during the month must have the start date reflect the first of the month and the stop date reflect the last of the month. • Members that are not expected to encounter a hostile fire event should have IDP started on the day entering the IDP area and stopped on the day departing the IDP area (exception to those personnel traveling in and out of IDP areas for duty in multiple locations, TDY, and leave). • CZTE is not affected by the HFP and IDP change. The entire month will still be tax free along with 2.5 days of CZTE leave earned when member is entitled to the $7.50 daily IDP for less than a month. • Commanding Officers and Unit Commanders have the responsibility of certifying a location HFP or IDP when reporting eligibility to PSD’s for pay action. • DJMS workaround is in place to systematically post negative 23 amounts based on the ARRIVE and DEPART HFP dates recorded from 2301, 02, and 03 transactions. DJMS system review completed after each update. • Avoid the use of the 2305 transactions or 2306 transactions on closed entries. Integrity - Service - Innovation
TDY, Multiple Locations, & Leave with Imminent Danger Pay • Movement of Personnel or Units • When an individual or group of individuals depart the IDP area for a non IDP special tracking and processing are required. • When a unit is traveling in and out of qualifying IDP locations special tracking and processing are also required. • As outlined in MPA 11/12, IDP should be reported for the cumulative number of days a member or unit are in a qualifying area. • Adjustment of dates for personnel or units moving in an out of designated areas requires creative processing of 2302, 2303, and 2301 transactions. • Personnel on leave or R&R in a qualifying IDP location are not entitled to IDP for those days (this does not include liberty status). • Reporting will be easier at the completion of the month if the individual or unit expects constant movement. • Stopping IDP at the end of the prior month for personnel departing the location and then reporting cumulative days at the end of the current month will be easier for leave and TDY situations. Integrity - Service - Innovation
Examples • TDY or Leave • Example 1: • Member initial reports to IDP location 1 March 2012. • Member departs IDP location 15 April 2012 with scheduled return 23 April 2012. • Member returns to IDP location 23 April 2012. • Member departs IDP location 29 April 2012 with no scheduled return. • Initial start will be posted as a 2301 effective 1 March 2012 • Total cumulative days for the partial month served in an IDP location is 22 days. Posting a 2302 transaction effective the 22nd day of the partial month would result in the correct number of days paid (22 April 2012). • Example 2: • Member initial reports to IDP location 1 March 2012. • Member departs IDP location 15 April 2012 with possible or unknown date of return. • Member returns to IDP location 28 April 2012. • Member departs IDP location 31 May 2012 with no scheduled return. • Initial start will be posted as a 2301 effective 1 March 2012 • Unknown scheduled return should result in a 2302 transaction effective the last day of the prior month (31 March 2012). The 15 days for partial month (April) should be reported at the end of the month unless the member returns. • Process a 2301 effective 13 April 2012 (18 days for partial month April 1-15 and April 28-30), and a 2302 effective 31 May 2012. OR • Process a 2303 for 18 total days in April (1-18 or 13-30), and process a 2301 effective 1 May 2012 with a 2302 effective 31 May 2012 EFFICIENT COMMAND REPORTING OF EVENTS AND PSD DISCRETION ON TRANSACTION PROCESSING IS REQUIRED TO MINIMIZE NEGATIVE IMPACTS TO THE SERVICE MEMBER AND PAY ACCOUNT.

CHANGES IN PAC/WIA HFP & CZTE ACTION • DFAS CLEVELAND HAS BEGAN POSTING HFP & CZTE ENTITLEMENT FOR PAC/WIA SAILORS USING 09 ENTRIES AND FL TRANSACTIONS. • Erroneous stops of HFP by field activities have decreased significantly. • DFAS Cleveland has worked with Standards & Compliance DFAS-IN and recently approved this workaround to lessen the adverse actions of erroneous HFP stops and cancellations. • Beginning September 2011, DFAS has been using OPEN 09 entries, Save Pay Type – A, with FID 23 to report HFP for PAC/WIA Sailors. • This entry will remain open until N135C notifies DFAS of termination or 1 year after evacuation without extension. • CZTE entries will be posted when DFAS receives notification from N135C of inpatient status. This will be posted using an FL transaction which will either be for a closed period for individuals already outpatient or OPEN entries for those individuals identified as LONG TERM inpatient. • The field should note that ALL other entitlements (10, 14, 15, 21, 27, etc) will remain on those lines. PSD’s should not stop these entitlements on accounts with OPEN 09 lines FID 23. • PSD should NOT open 23 entries for accounts with OPEN 09 lines FID 23. • If the member has been returned to a HFP/CZTE location or returned FIT for FULL DUTY notify N135C IAW MPM 7220-112 to stop members PAC entitlement. • Request field continue to review MEMO entries before taking action.
