  1. Line Of Duty (LOD)Notice of Eligibility (NOE)Process Sector Jacksonville

  2. What is LOD/NOE? • The Line Of Duty (LOD) determination is the first step required to obtain benefits under the reserve incapacitation system. • The Notice of Eligibility(NOE) process allows a member to receive medical care, at no charge, for injuries incurred in the line of duty, and possible compensation for any time lost from civilian employment.

  3. The Process • If a member incurs an injury during ADT/IDT, orders <30 days, they are required to report it to their Supervisor and the Medical Department. (If on orders >30 days, they are covered by Tricare Prime and maybe retained on AD until care is complete) • Medical Staff will make an appointment at Naval Station Mayport for an exam to document the injury. This documentation needs to be thorough. It will go with your request for the NOE. If you live over 50 miles, the Command may decide to issue orders and provide local berthing so travel expenses are not the members responsibility.

  4. Line of Duty (LOD) Investigation • The member should begin working on the LOD form CG 3822 and/or CG 4614 with their Chain of Command to report the incident. • CG 4614-Report of Illness of a Reservist • CG 3822-Injury Report for Not Misconduct and In Line of Duty Determination • The Accident Report
