  5. Pre-Commissioning Units (PCU) (1 of 2) • Current BAH policy – Joint Federal Travel Regulations and OPNAVINST 7220.12 • Any previous guidance (SECNAVINST, CNO memos, etc have been superceded) • Shore-based units, not authorized Unusually Arduous Sea Duty (UASD) designation • Members eligible for BAH at the PDS only • Delay of dependent travel eligibility

  6. Pre-Commissioning Units (PCU) (2 of 2) • Upon acceptance date, unit will become UASD: • CO may only approve BAH based on dependent location/designated place upon UASD designation • PCU transition to initial homeport does not qualify for “homeport change” allowances • Dependent travel after promulgation of initial homeport • Only to new homeport • Members may be eligible for Dependent/Personal Travel

  7. Separation Program Designator (SPD) Codes • New This Year: • On 29 November, 2010, PDUSD (P&R) issued a new matrix of SPD codes that became effective for all separations executed after 1 January 2011 • BUPERS issued an update to enclosure (2) of BUPERS 1900.8D on 7 March 2011 which includes current guidance on SPD codes • NPC and PSD’s should review pay actions and ensure all documents (MILPERSMAN, etc.) reflect the correct pay actions • Accrued Leave: • Eligibility for accrued leave is not dependent on the SPD code used on a Sailor's DD214 • Per 37 U.S.C. 501, entitlement to accrued leave at separation is dependent on the characterization of discharge (i.e. honorable, other than honorable, etc.) • N130 POC: Ms. Brenda Billingsley at (703) 695-3130 or brenda.billingsley@navy.mil

  8. Involuntary Separation Pay (ISP) • General Guidance: • In order to be eligible for ANY amount of involuntary separation pay: • Separation must be involuntary • Member must have completed six or more but less than 20 years of service • Member must enter into a written agreement to serve in the Ready Reserve for a period of not less than 3 years • For Clarification: • PTS is involuntary if member indicated a desire to remain serving • HYT is always involuntary • Retention eligible = JBK (Full) • Not retention eligible = JGH (Half) • PFA failures (See NAVADMIN 420/10) • Failed BCA in any of 3 failed cycles = GCR, HCR, JCR, LCR (Half) • Did NOT fail BCA in any of 3 failed cycles = GFT, HFT, JFT, LFT (No ISP) • N130 POC: • LT Grant Schweikert at (703) 614-5635 or grant.schweikert@navy.mil

  9. Bonus Recoupment at Separation • At separation, Sailors should be advised that separation prior to the end of a contract for which a bonus was paid, will result in the recoupment of the unearned portion of that bonus. • OPNAVINST 1160.8A and OPNAVINST 1160.9 state that if a Sailor is separated for medical reasons or a condition not a disability there will be no recoupment of a bonus. This is no longer the case, and these instructions are currently being updated to reflect current policy. • If a Sailor leaves the Navy and was paid SRB or EB, the Sailor should expect recoupment of the unearned portion of that bonus. This is in compliance with DODFMR, Volume 7A, Chapter 2. • POC: Ms. Brenda Billingsley at (703) 695-3130 or brenda.billingsley@navy.mil
