1. TAG SENDS: eUCFR, MYBOARDFILE, HSM UPDATES, iPERMS, BAH
RECERT, AND IPPS-A TRAINING. From BG Adam D. Smith, The Adjutant General
of the Army: “Teammates, Over the past 60 days, I had the opportunity
to visit with many of our key HR community leaders and partners. This
included discussions with Division and Corps G1s at the Army People
Synchronization Conference, visiting with G1 Leaders at the USASOC G1
Roundtable, meeting with DFAS and MILPAY stakeholders, and visiting the
incredibly talented and dedicated IPPS-A team. It’s valuable to
understand the impacts within your organizations and explore how we can
help develop strategies and support commander’s decisions within your
organization. I’ve seen firsthand the positive impact you make within
your footprint and across the Army. Your tireless efforts are
important, and I’m inspired by your steadfast support for our Soldiers
and their Families.” Some key points from this TAG Sends follow. See the
entire message at the following link. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1341696
a. Voting Assistance Program. “I want to emphasize the importance of
the Voting Assistance Program. As we approach election season, ensuring
every Soldier has the opportunity to vote, is crucial. Please use the
Federal Voting Assistance Program, available resources, and the FVAP
website, https://www.fvap.gov/,
for information on requesting absentee ballots, deadlines, and other
voting tools. I encourage you to exercise your right to vote.”
b. Key Points from the TAG SGM: “Change is evident and I am excited
about what’s to come. Beginning 1 September, DFAS launched the new
eUCFR, giving Commanders and S1s a better tool to understand Soldier pay
issues. In 1QTR, FY25, the DA Secretariat will start using ASBS 2.0,
which will significantly increase the transparency of the board process
to the Soldier. iPERMS will release updates to include auditability
tools to reduce workload in identifying Soldier readiness documents,
assist in automated batch processing, and align supporting documents
with Soldier data in IPPS-A. The moment of change is upon us.”
c. eUCFR- Enhanced Electronic Unit Command Finance Report:
Historically, the Army has struggled with eUCFR certification (only ~55%
of units regularly certify their eUCFR), which leads to pay problems in
the field. Effective 1 September, DFAS launched the Enhanced Electronic
Unit Command Finance Report (eUCFR). This enhanced eUCFR is an attempt
to improve the certification experience for commanders.
d. MyBoardFile Updates: MyBoardFile (MBF) is changing beginning in
October and will replace how board members view files during promotion
and evaluation boards. Updating the board systems is finally here. US
Army Human Resources Command, in support of Army Talent Management and
Data Accuracy efforts, modernized the Army Selection Board System. This
includes Eligibility, My Board File and Voting capabilities for the
total Army, regardless of component. MyBoardFile is a Soldier’s link and
input into the board process. MyBoardFile then mirrors to The Army
Selection Board System v2.0 (ASBS2), which is the system used by board
members voting files during a promotion or evaluation board. Soldiers
will now see exactly what voters see. Once implemented, Soldiers will
always have access to their MyBoardfile, not just during the board
process.
e. iPERMS Duplicate Batches. Please avoid resubmitting batches to
iPERMS, as this can create duplicate document cases and slow down the
processing of all batches. Before resubmitting, the scan operator (SO)
should generate a batch originator report to check the status of any
previous batches.
f. BAH and OHA Recertification. ALARACT 071/2024 was recently published
providing guidance for the Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) and
Overseas Housing Allowance (OHA) Recertification Program. Upon arrival
at a new permanent duty station, each Soldier authorized a housing
allowance for a dependent must recertify the status of the dependent to
support a housing allowance on the dependent’s behalf. Additionally,
Soldiers must recertify BAH and OHA annually, as part of the annual
personnel and finance records review. Beginning in October, IPPS-A will
release functionality that will automate the BAH recertification
process.
g. IPPS-A Training. The Drive the Change Teams Channel provides the
latest updates and Over the Shoulder Support (OTSS), reinforcement
training, and new release discussion.
