http://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/Docs/perdiem/JTR.pdf.
Section II
Background
1-5. “Drilling Reservists”
The Reserve Component (RC) is one component of the United States Army. The other component is the Active Component
(AC), sometimes called the “Regular Army”
.
The USAR and the Army National Guard make up the RC. Within the USAR
there are several categories of Soldiers. The primary focus of this pamphlet is on USAR Soldiers assigned to Troop Program
Units (TPUs). These Soldiers meet on scheduled dates with their units to train and accomplish basic administrative functions.
These TPUs
are very
similar to units in the active Army, except that their Soldiers are not on duty full-time unless called to
active duty for mobilization or support of a contingency operation.
1-6. Reserve training types
TPU training consists of two types: inactive duty training (IDT) and active duty (AD) training. There are also different types
of inactive and active duty training. The focus of this paragraph is on training performed as a unit.
a. The USAR refers to unit IDT as a battle assembly (BA). The BAs must be a minimum of 4 hours long. Soldiers may
perform a maximum of two BAs on the same day; this is known as a BA 2 (2 meaning two BAs). Most units perform a BA 4
each month that consists of a BA 2 on Saturday and a BA 2 on Sunday. Some units may schedule BAs throughout the month
(e.g., a BA every Tuesday night) in a way that meets the needs of the unit commander or the Army Reserve IAW AR 140-1,
Mission, Organization and Training. Soldiers receive 1 day of basic pay (BP) for each BA they perform.
b. Active duty performed as a unit is known as unit annual training (AT). Units normally perform 2 weeks of AT
each
year.
2 USAR PAM 37-1 • 7 May 2018
1-7. Defense Joint Military Pay System-Reserve Component (DJMS-RC)
a. Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) disburses all payments for IDT and active duty. The DJMS-RC
is the database application DFAS uses to administer USAR pay. It consists of pay records, known as master military pay
accounts (MMPAs), for each Soldier in DJMS-RC.
b. Figure 1-1 illustrates how data flows through the USAR pay network to initiate pay and update MMPAs. Pay data
flows from various sources into the USAR Pay Centers (UPCs) and DFAS for conversion to computer transactions that
update the MMPAs and DJMS-RC.
c. DJMS-RC updates occur daily, but only eight of these updates create payments. Updates that create pay are known as
"coded" updates. One of these coded updates generates mid-month payments for Soldiers who are mobilized or on active duty
for 30 or more days. Another coded update is the final update for the month and generates end of month (EOM) payments and
pay reports used by USARC G-8, the UPCs, Readiness Divisions (RDs), Geographical Functional Commands (GFCs) and units.
The final update normally occurs between the 20th and 23rd of the month.
d. DJMS-RC can store up to 12 months of pay information for each MMPA (current month and the 11 previous
months). The term for this storage period is "Immediate Access Storage (IAS)" or current record span.
e . USARC G-8 posts DJMS-RC update schedules at https://xtranet/Organization/DCGUSARC/CoS/Coordinating/DCSG-
8/pay/Pages/default.aspx. The DJMS-RC production schedule establishes DJMS-RC processing and payment dates. You can
determine when an action or payment should occur by comparing the date a transaction was processed in DJMS-RC against
the production schedule. To determine when a payment will occur select the current month production schedule. DJMS-RC
production months generally run from the 23rd of one month to the 22nd of the following month. Therefore, a transaction
processed on 25 May would fall under the Jun production schedule. The production schedule contains the following
information for use in determining the date an action will affect a Soldiers’ MMPA:
(1) Run Date. The date DJMS-RC was updated with new pay input.
(2) Type of update
(a) Daily Daily updates process pay actions but do not create payment files
(b) CODE 1 CODE 1 updates produce payment files for IDT, AT/ Active Duty for Training (ADT)/ Active Duty
Operational Support, Reserve Component (ADOS-RC) of less than 30 days and bonuses.
(c) CODE 2 Mid-Month (MM) CODE 2 updates produce mid-month payment files for Soldiers paid twice-monthly
for long tours and the same payment types as a code 1.
(d) CODE 3 (EOM) CODE 3 updates produce end-of-month payment files for Soldiers paid twice-monthly for long
tours and the same payment types as a code 1. CODE 3 also produces pay reports (Unit Commanders Pay Management Report
(UCPMR), etc.)
(3) Electronic Funds Transfer/Check (EFT/CHK) DATE The date an Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) should be
received by the financial institution or the date DFAS will mail a pay check.
(4) HIGH DATE PAID The latest duty date included in payments generated by a CODE 1, 2 or 3 update. If the
HIGH DATE PAID is 25 May, payments for duty periods ending 25 May or earlier will be paid on this update.
(5) Effective Release (EFT REL) DATE The date Department of Treasury will send a direct deposit to the financial
institution.
1-8. Command pay managers (CPMs)
The four RDs have full-time personnel known as command pay managers (CPMs) within their Resource Management Office
(RMO) to provide reserve pay support to UPAs and Soldiers. RDs provide support to all units in their geographic area of
responsibility (GAOR) regardless of the units chain of command. See figure 1-2 for a depiction of the RD GAORs. CPMs
provide reserve pay inquiry, training, unit pay operations reviews, and Soldier Readiness Processing support. Units must use
their pay chain of command, starting with the appropriate CPM (command pay manager), to resolve pay issues. CPM contact
information is at https://xtranet/Organization/DCGUSARC/CoS/Coordinating/DCSG-8/pay/Contacts/Forms/AllItems.aspx. See
para 4-4 for information on the pay chain of command.
1-9. USAR Pay Centers (UPCs)
The UPCs provide pay support to all TPU Soldiers. The UPC at Fort McCoy, WI supports TPUs in the Continental United
States (CONUS), Puerto Rico and Europe. The UPC at Fort McCoy also processes all Student Loan Repayment Program
(SLRP), Health Professionals Loan Repayment Program (HPLRP), and Incapacitation payment claims, as well as operating
the Ombudsman Pay team. The UPC at Fort McCoy has teams that support specific GFC commands. The 9th UPC at Fort
Shafter, HI supports TPUs in Hawaii, the Pacific, and Southeast Asia. Each UPC provides a full range of military pay
services, except travel voucher processing and those functions centralized at the UPC at Fort McCoy. The UPCs are not
staffed for answering pay inquiries; contact your CPM concerning these inquiries.
1-10. Single source data (SSD)
SSD is the term used to refer to data sent from the Total Army Personnel Data Base-Reserves (TAPDB-R) to DJMS-RC. Units
use the personnel module of the Regional Level Application Software (RLAS) to send updates to TAPDB-R. Chapter 2
discusses the specific data that TAPDB-R provides to DJMS-RC.
USAR PAM 37-1 • 7 May 2018 3
1-11. Document review and certification requirements
a. Some documents related to payment of USAR Soldiers require the signature of an individual authorized to certify or
review the document. Signatures for certification must be wet or secured digital. Other forms of signature, including
signature stamps, are not valid for documents that create entitlement to pay. The unit commander designates who has
certification or review authorization. UPAs may not certify their entitlement to pay. Documents requiring review are:
(1) USAR Form 26, Pay Document Transmittal Letter (TL). The UPA and other designated individuals may
sign as the reviewer. Prepare an additional duty appointment, in accordance with (IAW) AR 25-50, Preparing and
Managing Correspondence for those individual(s) authorized to sign the USAR Form 26.
(2) Automated Drill Attendance Reporting System ADARS and Reserve Active Duty Automated Reporting System
RADARS actions require review by a second party to ensure the pay information input by the UPA is accurate. The second
party, either the unit commander, or an alternate reviewing official, conducts the review by comparing the supporting
documents (IDT Attendance Roster, DA Form 1380 Record of Individual Performance of Reserve Duty Training, or active
duty orders) to the data input by the UPA prior to assigning the TL number. Prepare an additional duty appointment, IAW
AR 25-50, to designate an alternate reviewing official for reviewing ADARS and RADARS actions.
b. Documents requiring certification are:
(1) Unit AT Annexes. Only the commander or an alternate certifying officer may sign the Certificate of
Accuracy/Attendance on unit AT annexes. Prepare an additional duty appointment, IAW AR 25-50, to designate
the alternate certifying officer. Do not designate the UPA or anyone else with access to the Reserve Duty
Automated Reporting System (RADARS) as an alternate certifying officer.
(2) Unit Record of IDT Attendance Roster from the ADARS module of RLAS. Only the commander, first sergeant
(1SG), or senior Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs) designated on an additional duty appointment can certify the IDT
Attendance Roster. Do not designate the UPA or anyone who has access to ADARS as an alternate certifying officer for the
IDT Attendance Roster.
(3) DA Form 1380. Any officer with knowledge of duty performance may sign block 11 of the DA Form 1380. Any
NCO or civilian with knowledge of duty performance may sign block 11 of the DA Form 1380 if they are authorized signature
authority IAW AR 25-50. Soldiers may not certify their own duty performance. The DA Form 1380 must contain the Soldier‘s
SSN.
(4) DA Form 5960, Authorization to Start, Stop or Change Basic Allowance for Quarters (BAH) and/or Variable
Housing Allowance (VHA). This form is used to substantiate entitlement to basic allowance for housing (BAH) and must be
created in the Resource Management module of the RLAS. Do not use any other means for creating the DA Form 5960. ALL
Soldiers must have a DA Form 5960 in RLAS and a certified copy in the Interactive Personnel Electronic Records Management
System iPERMS. Only the commander or the first commissioned officer in the Soldier’s chain of command may certify or
recertify the DA Form 5960. UPAs are prohibited from certifying or recertifying DA 5960s. Prepare an additional duty
appointment to designate officers authorized to certify or recertify DA 5960s. Units and Reserve Personnel Action Centers
(RPACs) will include a certified DA Form 5960 when submitting active duty orders to the USAR Pay Center (UPC) for duty of
30 or more days at a location not listed in table C-2 or orders for 1-29 days published by Human Resources Command (HRC).
(5) Unit Commander’s Pay Management Report. Only the commander or an alternate certifying officer can sign the
UCPMR attesting to its accuracy. The commander or alternate certifying officer must sign no later than the G-8 suspense date
for the current report. The UPA or alternate UPA may not sign the UCPMR. Prepare an additional duty appointment to
designate an alternate certifying officer for signing the UCPMR.
(6) Personnel/Pay Mismatch Report. Only the commander or an alternate certifying officer can sign the
Personnel/Pay mismatch report attesting to its accuracy. The commander or alternate certifying officer must sign NLT the G-
8 suspense date for the current report. The UPA or alternate UPA may not sign the Personnel/Pay mismatch report. Prepare
an additional duty appointment to designate an alternate certifying officer for signing the Personnel/Pay mismatch report.
c. A copy of each additional duty appointment must be maintained IAW

Section I
Basic
2-1. General
A Soldier must have an MMPA established in DJMS-RC before he/she can receive pay. Personnel data from TAPDB-R
flows to DJMS-RC and establishes the MMPA. The UPA must review the MMPA for each newly assigned Soldier and
submit appropriate documentation to complete or correct the pay account. Submit corrections through the personnel
module in RLAS or to the UPC, depending on the data requiring correction.
2-2. The UH022-2405 Master Military Pay Account History Report (MMPA)
a. The MMPA is a report of the Soldiers DJMS-RC pay account. DFAS generates the reports by unit identification code
(UIC) monthly and USARC G-8 posts them to RLAS around the beginning of the next month. Units can access current and
previous reports if they have RLAS Resource Management (RM) Reports permissions for the UIC. Units should contact their
RD CPM if they do not have reports for their UIC in RLAS. Appendix G explains each data field on the MMPA.
b. Units should review all elements of the MMPA for all newly assigned Soldiers and submit corrective actions through
SSD or to the UPC as applicable.
c. Verification of a complete accession for a newly assigned Soldier can be quickly accomplished by reviewing the GAIN
field in Section 1 of the MMPA. When there are three “Gs posted in this field, the accession is complete and the Soldier's
MMPA can issue pay. If there are not three “Gs” the MMPA cannot issue pay.
[NOTE: See data item description in figure G-1, Section 1, GAIN, for an explanation of the pay data represented by each "G.]
2-3. USAR Form 26 Pay Document Transmittal Letter (TL)
Unless otherwise specified, submit all pay claims and documents supporting changes to Soldierspay accounts to the UPC
within 72 hours of receipt. Use USAR Form 26 as the cover document for submission. Instructions on completing the USAR
Form 26 are on the reverse side of the form. Refer to appendix C, paragraph C-2, for UPC Pay Team mailing and e-mail
addresses. When scanning TLs to the UPC include the TL number in the subject line of the e-mail.
Section II
Accessions
2-4. Single Source Data (SSD)
SSD is the acronym for the automated process that provides TAPDB-R data on accessions, transfers, separations, enlisted
advancements and enlisted promotions, ETS date changes, name changes, and social security number (SSN) corrections to
DJMS-RC. A change to SSD data elements in TAPDB-R resulting from RLAS input or other sources should result in a
change to the same data in DJMS-RC within 15 business days. Do not send these actions to the UPC; see paragraph 2-5 for
exceptions to SSD processing rules.
2-5. SSD exceptions
Submit actions normally processed in DJMS-RC by the SSD process to the UPC in the following instances:
a. When an SSD action processes in TAPDB-R, but not in DJMS-RC. SSD actions normally update DJMS-RC within 15
days of a new Soldier appearing in RLAS or the unit making input to RLAS. Submit corrections to the UPC along with one
of the documents listed in paragraph 2-6.
b. When an SSD action does not process in TAPDB-R and an emergency requires processing through the UPC rather than
waiting for TAPDB-R to send the SSD action to DJMS-RC. These exceptions require approval from the UPC or USARC G-8.
The unit must submit the request through their pay chain of command.
2-6. Acceptable documents for SSD exceptions
The following are acceptable documents, along with required pay documentation, to support submitting an SSD exception to the
UPC to update a Soldiers pay account. These documents demonstrate an action processed in TAPDB-R and posted to RLAS but
did not process in DJMS-RC.
a. DJMS-RC USAR Personnel/Pay Mismatch Report (UH022-2026) or SELRES Pay/Per Data Discrepancy Issues Subset
Report. The reports list discrepancies between DJMS-RC and TAPDB-R/RLAS data. Use of the UH022-2026 report was
discontinued by USARC in Dec 16. Use the SELRES Pay/Per Data Discrepancy Issues Subset Report from the Command
Strength Management Module (CSMM) to identify discrepancies between DJMS-RC and TAPDB-R/RLAS data. Use this report
to support SSD exceptions sent to the UPC for accessions, transfers, separations, enlisted advancements/promotions and name
changes that the report shows as processed in TAPDB-R/RLAS but not in DJMS-RC.
b. Personnel Qualification Record (PQR). Use RLAS to print the PQR. Select TAPDB-R as the data source for the
PQR. Use this report to support SSD exceptions for accessions, name changes, SSN changes, promotions, etc., when the
USAR PAM 37-1 • 7 May 2018 7
PQR shows the new data and DJMS-RC does not. The losing unit cannot use the PQR to document transfer to a new unit
or separation since they do not have visibility of the Soldier in RLAS.
c. Unit Manning Report (UMR). Use RLAS to print the UMR. Select TAPDB-R as the data source for the UMR.
Use this
report to support SSD exceptions for accessions, transfers, and separations when the UMR shows the new data and DJMS-RC
does not.
[NOTE: Units should contact their CPM if unable to locate a document substantiating enlistment, transfer, or separation of a
Soldier.]
2-7. SSD accession process
Soldiers enlisting through the Military Entrance Processing Stations (MEPS), assigned to the unit from an Army Transfer Point,
or accessed from the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR), have their MMPA established by the SSD feed from TAPDB-R. Units
should only submit accessions when the SSD process fails and exception processing (para 2-5) is required. The unit is
responsible for submitting to the UPC any additional documentation necessary to complete or correct the MMPA
[NOTE: Soldiers assigned to the IRR and participating in IDT assemblies for points only are not be accessed to DJMS-RC.]
2-8. Documents for manual accessions
a. A manual accession is required when a unit does not receive an MMPA for a new Soldier within a reasonable time
frame. The SSD actions normally update DJMS-RC within 15 days of processing in TAPDB-R. The unit should receive an
MMPA at the end of the month for new Soldiers assigned prior to the 8th of the month. If the MMPA is not received, contact
your CPM to determine if a manual accession is required. Paragraph 2-10 of this chapter discusses the MMPA. The report is
a printout of the Soldiers’ MMPA and is accessible from the RM Reports module of RLAS.
b. The remainder of this section addresses the documents required for each MMPA data element when submission of an
accession is necessary because an SSD failed to establish the pay account. Procedure D-1 describes the required substantiating
documents. Follow normal maintenance procedures outlined in this chapter after the MMPA is established to change the data
elements in paragraph 2-9.
2-9. Required accession data elements
Certain MMPA data elements must be complete and accurate for the Soldier to receive pay. These data elements are:
a. Name and Social Security Number (SSN).
(1) It is critical that these items are correct. See section IX of this chapter for procedures on correcting errors in name
and SSN after the MMPA is established.
(2) Source documents: DD Form 4 Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States, DD Form
1966 Record of Military Processing Armed Forces of the United States, Human Resources Command (HRC) assignment orders
or DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty or copy of SSN card for verification.
[NOTE: See figure G-1, MMPA, Section 1 - NAME, SSN.]
b. Pay grade.
(1) DJMS-RC uses 0 (zero) to indicate officers, 2 to indicate warrant officers and 3 to indicate enlisted Soldiers.
(a) Officer grades are 01 through 010; warrant officer grades are 21 through 25; and enlisted grades are 31 through
39. For example, a MAJs pay grade is 04, a CW2 is 22, and an SSG is 36.
(b) Source documents: DD Form 4 and DD Form 1966, HRC assignment orders, DD Form 214 or DA Form 71, Oath of
Office Military Personnel.
(2) 2LTs through CPTs with over 4 years of active enlisted and/or warrant service (or combination), or more than 1460
enlisted retirement points are entitled to a higher rate of pay.
(a) This higher rate of pay is not established by SSD. See paragraph 2-18 for information on establishing credit for prior
enlisted or warrant service.
(b) Source documents for establishing previous enlisted or warrant active service are DD Form 214, National Guard
Bureau (NGB) Form 22, Leave and Earnings Statements (LESs) for payment of AT/ADT/Active Duty for Operational Support
(ADOS), or DA Form 5016, Chronological Statement of Retirement Points.
[NOTE: See figure G-1, MMPA, Section 1 PAY GRADE, 04E.]
c. Pay entry basic date (PEBD) - Referred to as Pay Date in DJMS-RC.
(1) A Soldiers pay rate is determined both by pay grade and by years of service. A sergeant with 8 years of service will
earn more than a sergeant with 6 years of service. When the PEBD is unknown, it will default to the date of assignment. See
section VIII of this chapter for information on changing PEBDs.
(2) Source document: DD Form 4, DD Form 1966 (item 20C) for enlistees, HRC assignment orders, DD Form 214 or
DA Form 71.
[NOTE: See figure G-1, MMPA, Section 1 PAY DATE.]
d. Sex code.
(1) The sex code determines the rate of clothing replacement allowance payable when a Soldier is on active duty for
more than 6 months.
(2) Source document: DD Form 1966 or assignment orders from HRC.
8 USAR PAM 37-1 • 7 May 2018
[NOTE: See figure G-1, MMPA, Section 1 SEX.]
e. Address data.
(1) The Soldiers mailing address is normally established using the Soldier’s address on the accession documents.
DJMS-RC will not issue a payment for an MMPA account without a mailing address. All duty performance data (drills,
active duty payments) for accounts without a mailing address will recycle up to eight paying updates (approximately 4
weeks). If the mailing address is still missing at the end of that period, the performance data will reject and the UPC will
notify the unit of the rejected data.
(2) Source document: DD Form 1966 or HRC assignment orders.
[NOTE: See figure G-1, Section 1, MMPA, ADRS-2, ADRS-3, ADRS-4, ADRS-5, ADRS-EFF-DT.]
f. Pay status codes.
(1) The pay status codes indicate a Soldiers eligibility to receive pay for attending drills. For prior service Soldiers, and
Soldiers assigned from the IRR, another RC unit, or from the AC, the pay status code will be “A.” For non-prior service (NPS)
enlistees, code “A is established along with an NPS indicator. The NPS indicator is “6” for NPS Soldiers and blank for all
others.
(2) Source document: DD Form 1966, page 1 (block 19) for enlistees.
[NOTE: See figure G-1, Section 2, MMPA, PAY STATUS.]
g. Federal tax withholding exemptions.
(1) The number of exemptions claimed by a Soldier on Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-4 Employees
Withholding Allowance Certificate determines the rate at which federal taxes are withheld from pay. If a W-4 is not submitted for
a newly assessed Soldier, the rate of tax withholding defaults to the highest rate, single with zero exemptions. Do not use the rate
of tax withholding for determining whether the Soldier has dependents.
(2) Soldiers may elect to have additional federal income tax withheld. The amount of additional withholding must be
indicated on the IRS Form W-4. Additional withholding may be requested in increments of $1.00 (minimum) up to $84.00
(maximum) for each day of base pay (e.g., Soldier requests $2.00 additional federal income tax withholding and performs a BA
2 resulting in $4.00 additional withholding for the two periods of base pay; therefore, $28.00 would be withheld for a 14-day
AT period).
(3) Source document: IRS Form W-4.
[NOTE: See figure G-4, Section 4, MMPA FITW-MAR-STATUS and FITW-EXEMPT-OPT.]
h. State tax withholding exemptions.
(1) The number of exemptions claimed by a Soldier on a State Form W-4 (or IRS Form W-4 annotated STATE TAX
on top when a State W-4 is not available) determines the rate at which state taxes are withheld from pay. The state exemptions
do not have to be the same as the federal exemptions. If a State W-4 is not submitted, the state exemptions will be the same as
the federal exemptions.
(2) Soldiers may elect to have additional state income tax withheld. The amount of additional withholding must be
indicated on the State W-4 Form. Unlike additional federal tax withholding, additional state tax withholding is applied to
payments of basic pay, special pays, and incentive pays. Additional withholding may be requested in increments of $1.00 (minimum)
up to $84.00 (maximum) for each day of basic, special or incentive pay (e.g., Soldier requests $10.00 additional state income
tax withholding and performs a 14-day AT period during which he received SDAP for the whole period. $140.00 would be
withheld for the 14 days of basic pay and $140 for the 14 days of SDAP).
(3) Source document: State Form W-4 or IRS Form W-4 annotated STATE TAX.”
[NOTE: See figure G-3, Section 3, MMPA SITW-MAR-STATUS, SITW-EXEMPTIONS/OPTIONAL.]
i. State of legal residence.
(1) State of legal residence is normally established using the Soldiers mailing address on the accession documents.
Submit a DD Form 2058, State of Legal Residence Certificate with the accession if the Soldier wants to elect a different state. (2)
Source document: DD Form 2058.
[NOTE: See figure G-4, Section 4, MMPA FITW-W2-STATE.]
j. Date of assignment.
(1) The effective date of assignment, (known in DJMS-RC as the date of gain (DOG)), is on the assignment order. For
enlistments, the effective date of assignment is the date of enlistment on the DD Form 4.
(2) Source document: DD Form 4 or assignment orders.
[NOTE: See figure G-1, Section 1, MMPA DOG.]
k. Personnel Accounting Symbol (PAS).
(1) This eight-digit code is comprised of the two-digit Site ID (see app C) and the six-digit unit identification code
(UIC) from which the leading W” is dropped and a 0 (zero) is added to the end (e.g., the PAS for UIC: WXYAAA, serviced by
Site ID V1, is V1XYAAA0).
(2) Source document: DD Form 1966, page 1 (block 19) or assignment orders.
[NOTE: See figure G-1, Section 1, MMPA, PAS.]
l. Expiration term of service (ETS) date (Enlisted Soldiers only).
(1) Soldiers without prior service who enlist in the Army Reserve incur a statutory military service obligation of eight years.
Soldiers commonly enlist for 6 years in a unit and 2 years in a control group of the IRR (“6x2” enlistment). The term of their
TPU commitment is shown on DA Form 3540, Certificate and Acknowledgement of US Army Reserve Service Requirements
USAR PAM 37-1 • 7 May 2018 9
and Methods of Fulfillment. The ETS date established on DJMS-RC is the end of the 8-year enlistment; therefore, a Soldier on a
6x2 enlistment may require separation from DJMS-RC at the end of their sixth year.
(2) Source document: DD Form 4 (with DA Form 3540 for NPS), DD Form 214, or assignment orders.
[NOTE: See figure G-1, Section 1, MMPA ETS.]
m. Benefit and waiver status.
(1) A Soldier is not entitled to IDT or active duty pay for the same dates that they are receiving military retirement or VA
benefits. Ask all newly assigned Soldiers whether they are receiving military retirement or VA benefits.
(2) See paragraph 2-14 for processing instructions for Soldiers receiving VA benefits or military retirement pay.
(3) Source document: VA Form 21-8951-2, Notice of Waiver of VA Comp or Pension to Receive Military Pay
and Allowances.
[NOTE: See figure G-6, Section 6, MMPA, WAIVER.]
n. Servicemembers Group Life Insurance (SGLI) election.
(1) By law, all Soldiers are automatically enrolled for $400,000 of SGLI coverage. All new Soldiers must complete a
SGLV Form 8286. For Soldiers who elect less than full coverage, the form must be submitted to the UPC to correct the
MMPA. Refer to paragraph 2-15 for instructions on changing an SGLI election.
(2) Source document: SGLV Form 8286.
[NOTE: See figure G-3, Section 3, MMPA, SGLI-CURRENT.]
o. Incentive pays.
(1) Submit a copy of the incentive pay order if the Soldier is eligible to receive flight pay, jump pay, or demolition
pay.
(2) Source document: Incentive pay orders
[NOTE: See figure G-2, Section 2, MMPA, IP-TYPE/DATES.]
p. Leave Information. DJMS-RC tracks leave accrued, used, sold, and excess leave. Leave days paid during prior
periods of military service must be reported to DJMS-RC to update the Soldier's MMPA.
(1) Since 10 February 1976, Soldiers are limited to a maximum payment of 60 days accrued leave during their career.
Leave accrued during contingency operations (e.g., Desert Storm, Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom, etc.) is exempt from the 60-
day limitation on accrued leave payments Effective 1 October 2001, the 60-day leave payment limitation does not apply to leave
accrued by an RC Soldier while serving on active duty tours of 31 to 365 days in duration.
(2) The Leave Final Indicator (FI-IND) field identifies verification of prior leave days sold. If the FI-IND contains an
“X,” there has been verification of prior leave days sold. If the FI-IND is blank, the number of prior leave days requires
verification before DJMS-RC will permit payment of accrued leave. Soldiers with a blank FI-IND field are also found in section 6
of the UH022-2405, Unit Commanders Pay Management Report (UCPMR).
(3) No action is required for Soldiers with an “X” in the FI_IND field unless the Soldier is entitled to payment of accrued
leave. In these cases, include a USAR Form 24, Individual Claim for Active Duty Pay, Allowances, and Adjustments with blocks
14 and 16 completed with the payment request. In block 16, state the number of days leave paid previously. Attach a copy of any
supporting documents showing the previous leave payment (DD Form 214, DD Form 215 Correction to DD Form 214,
Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, military pay vouchers, LESs, or prior MMPAs). When the FI-IND field is
updated to “X,” the LV-PAID field of the MMPA will reflect the number of days leave previously paid. See paragraph 6-2b for
procedures for requesting payment of accrued leave.
[NOTE: See figure G-6, Section 6, MMPA - FI-IND, LV-PAID.]
Section III
myPay
2-10. myPay
a. myPay allows Soldiers to make changes to their MMPA on-line and view or print various pay documents. myPay is
accessible from the DFAS website at https://mypay.dfas.mil/mypay.aspx. All newly accessed Soldiers are mailed a Personal
Identification Number (PIN) and an information letter for accessing myPay. The PIN must be changed the first time the
Soldier accesses myPay. Changes made in myPay generally update a Soldiers MMPA within 24 hours.
b. Soldiers can use myPay to change their mailing address, direct deposit, federal and state tax information, print LESs and
IRS Form W-2s Wage and Tax Statement, enroll in Thrift Savings Plan (TSP), and view travel payments. Additional
capability is planned for future updates to myPay. Soldiers must use caution when entering information in myPay. Accuracy
is especially critical for direct deposit changes. The UPC notifies the unit of any rejected myPay transactions.
c. A warning remark will print on the Soldier’s leave and earnings statement (LES) and in section 8 of the MMPA when a
change is made to the Soldiers PIN through myPay. Transactions in Section 8 of the MMPA that begin with a “$were
generated by myPay input.
d. Soldiers who do not receive a PIN within 2 months of assignment should request one from the myPay website.
e. Soldiers who use myPay will not receive a hardcopy LES or W-2 form. Soldiers must use myPay and select the option to
receive a hardcopy of their LES if they wish to receive LESs by mail. Selecting this option also results receipt of the W-2 by
mail. Hardcopy LESs and W-2s are discouraged as they create avoidable costs for the Army and put Soldier’s personally
identifiable information (PII) at risk.
10 USAR PAM 37-1 • 7 May 2018
f. Restricted Access Personal Identification Number (RAPIN). The RAPIN allows Soldiers to provide a spouse or trusted
individual with a view only myPay PIN. This option is especially beneficial for deployed Soldiers.
(1) Soldiers can set the RAPIN by accessing myPay and selecting the "Personal Settings" page.
(2) Select “Restricted Access PIN.
(3) Enter a RAPIN and provide it to the spouse/trusted individual.
(4) Spouses/trusted individuals use the RAPIN by signing in to myPay with the member's SSN and their RAPIN. The
spouse/trusted individual can view and print LESs and W-2s, but they cannot make pay changes.
g. Soldiers can record a personal e-mail address in myPay to receive notification of pay changes and other items of interest.
Soldiers can establish their personal e-mail address by selecting "E-mail address" from the myPay main menu.
Section IV
Mailing Address/Pay Options
2-11. General
LESs and W-2 forms for those Soldiers who elect to receive hard copies of these documents are sent to the mailing address
on the MMPA. Hardcopy LESs and W-2s are discouraged as they create avoidable costs for the Army and put Soldier’s
personally identifiable information (PII) at risk. Soldiers should use myPay to change their mailing address. When myPay is not
available, the unit can change the mailing address by submitting a USAR Form 22, Adjustment Certification Worksheet with
block 4 completed.
[NOTE: See figure G-1, Section 1, MMPA ADRS-2, ADRS-3, ADARS-4, ADARS-5, ADRS-EFF-DT]
2-12. Direct deposit
a. Direct deposit (also known as Sure Pay or electronic funds transfer (EFT)) transfers Soldier's military payments to their
financial institution electronically. The Department of the Treasury requires the use of direct deposit for payments to
Department of Defense uniformed Servicemembers and civilian employees.
b. Soldiers should use myPay to initiate or change their direct deposit information. When myPay is not available, submit
an Standard Form (SF) 1199A, Direct Deposit Sign-Up Form, (Authorization for Deposit of Federal Recurring Payments)
completed by the Soldiers financial institution to the UPC. Alternately, Soldiers can bypass the financial institution by
attaching a copy of a voided check to the SF 1199A. Deposit slips are not acceptable, as they do not contain all the information
needed to initiate direct deposit. Soldiers electing direct deposit to a savings account must submit an SF 1199A competed by
the financial institution. Other types of direct deposit forms can be used in addition to the SF 1199A; include a “voided” check
for verification of the routing and checking account numbers.
[NOTE: See figure G-3, Section 3, MMPA DIRECT DEPOSIT-STAT-CODE, DIRECT-DEP-EFF-DATE,
ACCT-POLICY-NBR, RTN]
2-13. Held pay
a. DFAS places a Soldier’s pay account in a held pay status (HPS) when a bank returns an EFT due to an incorrect
or
closed
account, or when a check is returned as undeliverable. HPS causes suspension of all future payments. DJMS-RC will
release HPS funds to the Soldier when the MMPA is updated with new direct deposit or address information.
b. DFAS places an HPS remark on the Soldiers LES and the Soldier appears in the held pay portion of Section 6 of the
Unit Commanders Pay Management Report. Units should contact Soldiers who are in HPS and assist them in updating their
pay option to release their HPS funds. Soldiers in HPS due to erroneous EFT information can correct the information in myPay
or provide an SF1199A to the unit for forwarding to the UPC
(1) When updating an address in myPay ensure that both street address lines are exactly the same. The address lines
hold 25 characters each; therefore, the street address must be abbreviated as much as possible to fit.
(2) Do not fill in the city and state; complete the zip code box and the city and state will automatically populate.
c. Soldiers with funds in HPS beyond 90 days will have their funds transferred to the Treasury on the 91st day. When this
occurs, the Soldiers LES will contain a remark showing the date of the transfer. Units must coordinate with the Pay
Management Division (DFAS-IN), to recover HPS funds from the Treasury. E-mail a copy of the LES (or MMPA) containing
the remark that the Soldier had held pay funds sent to the Treasury to usarmy.usarc.usarc-hq.[email protected].
Include a DD Form 2660, Statement of Claimant Requesting Replacement Check, with the required blocks completed:
(1) Blocks 1- 4 - self explanatory
(2) Block 5 - must contain account number, routing number, and account type i.e. checking/savings, must match EFT
information on the Soldiers pay account
(3) Block 6 if a check was mailed, the address to where the check was mailed
(4) Block 7 Soldiers current mailing address, must match the mailing address on the Soldiers pay account
(5) Block 8 check appropriate box
(6) Block 9 date the funds were sent to the US Treasury (see 2-13e if Soldier does not have an LES with the remarks
indicating return of HPS funds to the Treasury)
(7) Blocks 10-11 check appropriate box
(8) Blocks 12-13 Soldier must hand sign and date the form. Digital signature is not authorized
USAR PAM 37-1 • 7 May 2018 11
(9) Block 17 - Must indicate “US Treasury Release of Funds”
d. Direct Deposit is mandatory; Soldiers may not elect check to address. The Soldier will not receive an LES or other
document when the held pay funds are released from the Department of Treasury.
e. Soldiers who have been separated from the USAR for more than 12 months must complete a DD Form 827, Application
for Arrears in Pay to request return of held pay funds from the Treasury. Attach the LES containing the remark that the Soldier
had held pay funds sent to the Treasury and mail the DD Form 827 to DFAS-IN, ATTN: COR/CLAIMS, 8899 E 56th St,
Indianapolis, IN 46249. The customer service number is (317) 212-6167.
f. Occasionally, remarks indicating return of HPS funds to the Treasury do not print on the Soldiers LES. When this
happens, include the LES showing the first time the Soldier had funds placed in HPS when requesting return of the funds from
the Treasury. This will help identify when the funds should have transferred to the Treasury.
g. It is possible to have multiple transfers of HPS funds to the Treasury since each transfer starts a new 90 day period.
[Example: a Soldier enters HPS status in Jun 2013 and has HPS funds returned to the Treasury in Sep 2013. If the Soldier
does not update his /her EFT information, any new funds placed in HPS in Sep 2013 will be returned in Dec 2013. When
requesting to recover funds from the Treasury in these cases, include a copy of the LES or MMPA for each transfer to the
Treasury.]
h. Soldiers will normally receive a direct deposit of their recovered HPS funds within 10 days of submitting the request to the
Pay Management Division (DFAS-IN). Payments via check will take several days longer. The deposit or check will not appear
on the Soldiers LES or MMPA since it comes from the Treasury.
[NOTE: See figure G-3, Section 3, MMPA DIR-DEP-WAV-DT.]
Section V
Waivers/Dual Compensation
2-14. Document preparation and distribution
a. Soldiers receiving disability compensation from the Veterans Administration (VA) must complete a VA 21-8951-2 at
the beginning of each FY and elect to receive disability compensation or their military pay for duty performed during the
upcoming FY. The UPA must submit the VA 21-8951-2 to the UPC to record the Soldiers election on his/her MMPA. The
Soldier must submit the form to the VA. Discuss the financial impacts of waiving military pay when a Soldier makes this
election to ensure the Soldier understands their election. See paragraph 2-14 d for more information.
b. At the end of each fiscal year (FY), Soldiers in receipt of VA disability compensation who received military pay during the
FY will receive a VA 21-8951 from the VA. The VA 21-8951 is the same form as the VA 21-8951-2 except that it will include
the number of days of duty the Soldier performed during the FY. The Soldier must make an election on the form to waive
disability compensation or their military pay for the duty days performed and return the form to the VA. Failure to return the form may
result in reduction of disability compensation for the new FY.
c. Soldiers electing to waive their disability compensation will have their disability compensation reduced for the next year
by the number of duty days performed during the previous FY. This option is almost always the best financially for the Soldier
as disability compensation is normally less than military pay. See paragraph 2-14 d for an explanation of the financial impact of
waiving military pay rather than disability compensation.
d. Soldiers electing to receive disability compensation in lieu of military pay should not receive any military pay and
allowances for duty they perform during the FY. This includes, but is not limited to; BAs, AT, ADT, ADOS-RC, and mobilization
pay. Soldiers who fail to complete a VA 21-8951-2 at the beginning of the FY and later waive military pay on the VA 21-8951
received from the VA at the end of the FY will have their military pay collected. The VA will notify the UPC to collect any
military pay received while the Soldier elected to receive disability compensation in lieu of military pay. Soldiers who elect to
waive military pay should be counseled that in almost all situations, the Soldier will receive more money by waiving their disability
compensation than waiving their military pay. The following example shows the financial impacts for a SSG over 14 years of
service with a 40% disability rating who chooses to waive her military pay. Her disability compensation is $699.36 a month or
$23.31 per day. Her Basic Pay is $122.48 daily. The difference between her daily Basic Pay and DC rate is $99.17. By waiving her
military pay she loses $122.48 for each drill period. If she waived her DC, she would only lose $23.31 of her VA compensation
for the next year for each drill period performed. Over 48 drills she would lose $5,879.04 by waiving her military pay (48 drills x
$122.48) but only $1,118.88 (48 x $23.31) if she waived her DC. She would lose even more for each day of active duty by
waiving military pay because of the additional entitlements for BAH and BAS. Ensure that Soldiers understand the financial
impact of waiving military pay.
[NOTE: See figure G-6, Section 6, MMPA WAIVER.]
Section VI
Servicemembers’, Combat, and Family Group Life Insurance (SGLI, CSGLI, and FSGLI)
2-15. SGLI, CSGLI, and FSGLI
a. SGLI required forms and collection process.
(1) SGLI deductions occur from the Soldier’s first payment each month. Soldiers without income for the month will incur
12 USAR PAM 37-1 • 7 May 2018
an SGLI debt.
(2) A new SGLV Form 8286 is required to decrease the level of SGLI coverage.
(3) A new SGLV Form 8286 is required to reinstate or increase current SGLI coverage. If Soldier answers YES to any
of questions 4a 4g, the completed form should be sent to the Office of Servicemembers Group Life Insurance, PO Box 41618
Philadelphia, PA 19176-9913, for approval prior to submitting it to the UPC
(4) If SGLI premiums are deducted erroneously after a Soldier cancelled or elected a lower level of coverage, complete USAR
Form 22, check block 19 and provide a brief explanation of the problem in block 20. Attach a copy of the SGLV Form 8286 and
forward on a USAR Form 26 to the UPC.
(5) Timely submission of SGLI coverage elections is imperative. Coverage elections that are more than 3 months old (from
the date signed to the date submitted to the UPC) require RD or GFC approval for reimbursement of premiums.
(6) SGLI coverage continues while a Soldier is awaiting separation orders and not performing duty. Soldiers may stop
SGLI to avoid incurring a debt by completing a SGLV Form 8286 and having the unit submit it to the UPC. The SGLV Form
8286 must include the statement, “I do not want insurance at this time.” Advise Soldiers that SGLI coverage will stop on the
date the
Soldier makes the election.
[NOTE: See figure G-3, Section 3, MMPA SGLI-CURRENT.]
b. Combat Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance Allowance.
(1) The Combat SGLI (CSGLI) allowance is paid to Soldiers who were in the Theater of Operations for Operation Enduring
Freedom at any time during a month.
(2) The monthly allowance payable is equal to the Soldier’s monthly SGLI premium, not to exceed $400,000, plus the
monthly premium of $1.00 for Traumatic Injury Protection under the SGLI (T-SGLI) program. [Example: Soldier pays
$28.00 for $400,000 of SGLI, and $1.00 for T-SGLI. The Soldier is entitled to $29.00 for his/her CSGLI allowance.]
(3) The first $3.25 of CSGLI allowance is tax free. The remainder of the CSGLI allowance is taxable. However, since
the CSGLI allowance is part of the earnings received while in a qualified hazardous duty area or designated combat zone tax
exclusion (CZTE) zone, it is excluded from taxable income. An exception to this exclusion is officers whose monthly
taxable income exceeds the maximum monthly enlisted rate (plus imminent danger pay/hostile fire pay (IDP)/HFP) for that
month.
(4) The CSGLI allowance is paid during the month following the deduction of the SGLI premium CSGLI reimbursement
terminates the month after the Soldier departs the Theater of Operations.
c. Family Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance (FSGLI).
(1) FSGLI is life insurance for dependents of active duty and TPU Soldiers.
(2) A Soldiers spouse is covered automatically for $100,000, or the amount of the Soldiers SGLI coverage,
whichever is less. FSGLI premiums for spousal coverage are dependent on the spouses age.
(3) Collection of FSGLI premiums begins automatically upon enrollment of dependents in Defense Eligibility
Enrollment Reporting System (DEERS) and is retroactive to when the Soldier last entered the military or the date the Soldier
acquired a dependent, whichever is later. Late enrollment of dependents in DEERS will cause collection of several months of
FSGLI premiums. FSGLI premiums carry forward as a debt for months that a Soldier does not receive pay.
(4) Soldiers not desiring FSGLI coverage must decline FSGLI on an SGLV Form 8286A and provide the form to
DEERS for processing in the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) portal in DEERS. Soldiers cannot decline
coverage until after enrolling their dependents in DEERS and cannot backdate their declination.
(5) Soldiers with less than maximum FSGLI coverage will have their coverage increased to $100,000 upon mobilization.
Soldiers wishing to retain the lower level of coverage must complete an SGLV Form 8286A electing lower coverage and provide
it to DEERS for processing in the DMDC portal in DEERS.
(6) FSGLI declinations must be processed through the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) portal in DEERS to stop
FSGLI premium deductions. The UPC cannot start, change, or stop FSGLI deductions. Each RD G1 should have a representative
that has access to DMDC to change or terminate FSGLI enrollment.
(7) Soldiers who had FSGLI deductions after declining coverage can apply for premium refunds by sending the
following documents via e-mail to usarmy.usarc.usarc-hq.mbx.ardebtmngt@mail.mil or faxing them to (317) 212-
2140:
(a) SGLV Form 8286A. The form must be signed, witnessed and dated. Back dating of signatures is not authorized.
(b) Screen print from the DMDC FSGLI Portal showing input to terminate the Soldiers FSGLI.
(c) A memorandum from the unit stating when the FSGLI termination was input, why the termination was processed late,
and the origin of the SGLV Form 8286A (e.g. obtained from Soldier, unit file or iPERMS).
Section VII
Promotions, Reductions, and Pay Grade Corrections
2-16 Promotions
a. The UPC receives enlisted advancement and promotion data from RLAS and passes it to DJMS-RC weekly.
These actions should appear in DJMS-RC within 15 days of processing in RLAS. Units should not submit enlisted
advancement or promotion documents to the UPC unless the promotion does not appear on the Soldiers MMPA. Follow
SSD exception procedures (paras 2-4 and 2-5) when submitting promotions to the UPC.
USAR PAM 37-1 • 7 May 2018 13
b. The UPC does not receive officer promotion data from RLAS. Units must submit officer promotion orders to the UPC.
c. DJMS-RC will automatically adjust base pay, BAH-RC, and some special and incentive pays for periods within IAS
(see para 1-8d). Submit adjustments to the UPC for duty outside IAS and any adjustments that do not occur automatically
with the promotion.
[NOTE: See figure G-1, Section 1, MMPA GRADE, EDG.]
2-17. Reductions and Erroneous Promotions
a. Reductions
(1) With the exception of Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) Cadets, and Article 15 reductions, format 306 orders
are required for reductions to E5 E8. Submit a copy of the reduction order to the UPC for processing.
(2) Erroneous advancements to E2-E4 require a DA 4187 returning the Soldier to the former grade and effective date
of grade. Submit a copy of the DA 4187 to the UPC for processing.
(3) Reductions for disenrollment from ROTC require a DA Form 4187, Personnel Action. Submit a copy of the DA Form 4187
to the UPC for processing.
(4) For reductions imposed under Article 15, submit a copy of the DA Form 2627, Record of Proceedings under
Article 15, UCMJ to the UPC for processing.
b. Erroneous Promotions
(1) Reductions to E5-E8 and all warrant and officer grades resulting from an erroneous promotion order require
revocation of the promotion order. Submit a copy of the revocation order to the UPC for processing.
(2) Use USAR Form 22 to correct the pay grade of Soldiers advanced or promoted erroneously without a DA Form 4187
or promotion order (e.g. input or system error). Check block 13 of the USAR 22 and include an explanation in block 20 that the
Soldier was advanced or promoted erroneously due to an input or other error. Also explain that the promotion was not
documented on a promotion order or DA Form 4187.
c. A reduction in pay grade will adjust the Soldier’s pay account automatically for any duty periods inside IAS. The
UPC will make adjustments for periods outside of IAS.
[NOTE: See figure G-1, Section 1, MMPA GRADE, EDG.]
2-18. Pay grade corrections
a. If the Soldier's MMPA was established with an incorrect pay grade, submit a USAR Form 22 and appropriate
document(s) supporting the Soldiers correct pay grade to the UPC. Ensure that RLAS is also corrected.
b. Officers with over 4 years active duty as an enlisted or warrant officer, or more than 1460 enlisted or warrant officer
retirement points, are entitled to a higher rate of pay until reaching the rank of major. The O4E data item in Section 1 of the
MMPA will show “Y” if the officer is receiving pay at the O4E rate. If it does not show Y, submit a USAR Form 22 with
document(s) verifying more than 4 years active duty as an enlisted/warrant officer or more than 1460 enlisted/warrant officer
retirement points. The UPC will make adjustments for any inactive or active duty periods.
[NOTE: See figure G-1, Section 1, MMPA GRADE, EDG, 04E.]
Section VIII
Pay Entry Basic Date (PEBD)
2-19. Changes in PEBD
a. A Soldiers rate of pay is determined by his/her pay grade and years of creditable service. For instance, a sergeant with
8 years of service will earn more than a sergeant with 6 years of service. A Soldier's years of creditable service is computed
from the PEBD. The PEBD is referred to as the “Pay Date” on the MMPA. Creditable service is determined IAW chapter 1 of
the DODFMR, Volume 7A. For non-prior service Soldiers
(1) Time spent in the Delayed Entry Program (DEP) (currently known as the Future Soldiers Program) prior to 1 January
1985 is creditable service. From 1 January 1985 to 28 November 1989, DEP time prior to active duty or service in a Reserve
Component is not creditable.
(2) After 28 November 1989, DEP for the Army Reserve and National Guard is creditable if the Soldier performs at
least one IDT period prior to basic combat training (BCT). Soldiers who do not perform IDT prior to BCT should have a
PEBD of the first day of BCT.
(3) All non-prior service Soldiers incur a service obligation when they enlist. Any Soldiers entering the Army after May
1984 incurs an 8-year service obligation. Soldiers who complete their active duty or TPU obligation and transfer to the IRR
continue to accrue creditable service until discharged. This credit accrues even if the Soldier does not earn enough retirement
points for a good year.
b. UPAs must verify the PEBD of all non-prior service Soldiers upon completion of BCT. If the Soldier’s PEBD is the date
of enlistment and the Soldier did not perform IDT prior to BCT, submit a USAR Form 22 and a copy of DD Form 220, Active
Duty Report or DD Form 214 to the UPC to adjust the PEBD to the first day of BCT.
c. Prior service Soldiers may be assigned with an incorrect PEBD that does not reflect some or all of their prior creditable
service. In these cases, request a change to the PEBD by submitting a USAR Form 22, a completed PEBD calculator
worksheet and documents to support the Soldier’s prior creditable service to the UPC. The PEBD calculator worksheet is
14 USAR PAM 37-1 • 7 May 2018
available at https://xtranet/Organization/DCGUSARC/CoS/Coordinating/DCSG-8/pay/References/Forms/Refs.aspx.
Appropriate documents include DD Form 4, DD Form 214, DD Form
215, NGB
Form 22 Report of Separation and Record of
Service and 22A Correction to NGB Form 22, DA Form 4836 Oath of Extension of Enlistment or Reenlistment, assignment,
transfer or separation orders, and other documents that record periods of service. While the DA Form 5016 is not a valid
document for creditable service, it should be included as a cross-check to ensure accounting of all periods of prior service.
Soldiers may print their DA 5016 from the HRC web site at https://www.hrcapps.army.mil/portal/.
d. Computation of the PEBD. The UPC verifies the PEBD using the documents provided by the unit. Creditable service
cannot be granted for periods that are not documented. Specific rules for computing the PEBD are in chapter 1 of the
DODFMR, Volume 7A. In general, these are the rules for computing pay dates for Soldiers with periods of prior service.
(1) If a period of service ended on the last day of the month and that day is not the 30th, change the ending date in
your computation to 30 (because the Army pays on a 30-day month).
(2) If service ends on 28 February of a leap year, leave it 28 February.
(3) If, after computing the pay date, the PEBD falls on 29 February of a leap year, use that date. In non-leap years,
increase the PEBD to 1 March.
e. The following are examples of how to compute a Soldiers pay date:
(1) A prior service enlistee in your unit spent 6 years on active duty in the Army, and 2 years in the IRR. He received a
discharge after completing his 8-year military obligation and had no other military duty until joining your unit. [NOTE: The
term “enlistment date” also refers to officers appointment dates and constructive service credit for medical and dental
officers (see DODFMR, Volume 7A, chap 1).]
Regular Army 98-07-11 to 03-07-10
IRR 03-07-11 to 06-07-10
(a) Since there is not a break in service, simply subtract the beginning date of service from the ending date
to determine total prior service.
Period: YY MM

Subtotal: 07 11

(=) Net Service: 07 11 30
Total Prior Service: 8 years
(b) If this Soldier enlisted in your unit on 8 February 2007, you would have to compute an adjusted pay date to account
for the break in service. To compute the adjusted date, subtract his/her total prior service from the current
enlistment
date.*

(2) In this example the Soldier has more than one period of creditable service. You must add each period to
determine total creditable service. The Soldier served on active duty for 4 years, then spent 4 years in a control group before
discharge at the end of an 8-year military service obligation (MSO). One year later, the Soldier enlisted in the Army
National Guard (ARNG) for 3 years and is now enlisting into your unit on 24 May 2006. The PEBD computation would be:

Section IX
Administrative Changes
2-20. Administrative procedures
Use the following procedures to correct/update a Soldiers MMPA. Refer to appendix D, procedure D-2, for required forms and
supporting documents.
a. Social security number (SSN) change. Contact your CPM prior to taking any actions for Soldiers who have received
payment under an incorrect SSN. The CPM coordinates with the UPC to transfer the Soldiers wage and tax information to the
correct SSN.
(1) If the SSN is incorrect in personnel and pay, correct the Soldiers SSN in the personnel module of RLAS to generate an
SSD transaction to update the MMPA. Do not attempt to create a new record with the correct SSN.
(2) If the SSN is correct in the personnel module of RLAS, but incorrect on the MMPA, submit USAR Form 22 to the
UPC with one of the documents in procedure D-2, rule 2, indicating the correct SSN and one of the SSD exception documents
listed in paragraph 2-6.
[NOTE: See figure G-1, Section 1, MMPA SSN.]
b. Name.
(1) If the name is incorrect in personnel and pay, correct the Soldiers name in the personnel module of RLAS to generate
an SSD transaction to update the MMPA.
(2) If the name is correct in the personnel module of RLAS but incorrect on the MMPA, submit USAR Form 22 to the
UPC with one of the documents in procedure D-2, rule 4 indicating the correct name and one of the SSD exception documents
listed in paragraph 2-6.
[NOTE: See figure G-1, Section 1, MMPA NAME.]
c. Sex code change. Submit USAR Form 22 indicating the correct sex code to the UPC.
[NOTE: See figure G-1, Section 1, MMPA SEX.]
d. Date of Gain (DOG) change. Check block 7 of USAR Form 22, enter new date of gain in block 20, and submit to the
UPC with one of the documents in procedure D-2, rule 6 indicating the correct DOG.
[NOTE: See figure G-1, Section 1, MMPA DOG.]
e. Officer Service Date (OSD)/Aviation Service Date (ASD) change. Check block 19 of USAR Form 22, place the
OSD/ASD dates in block 20 and submit to the UPC with one of the documents in procedure D-2, rule 7.
[NOTE: See figure G-2, Section 2, MMPA OSD-ASD.]
f. Program element code (PEC), personnel accounting symbol (PAS), or state pay group mobilization augmentee (ST
PGMA) Code changes.
(1) PEC. Submit a USAR Form 22 with the correct PEC to the UPC.
16 USAR PAM 37-1 • 7 May 2018
(2) PAS. PAS codes (UIC portion) are updated through SSD. If the UIC is correct in RLAS but the UIC portion of the
PAS is incorrect on the MMPA, submit a USAR Form 22 with the correct PAS in block 8 to the UPC. The UIC portion of the
PAS is formulated by dropping the “W” and adding a zero to the end of the UIC. Include reassignment orders and one of the
SSD exception documents listed in paragraph 2-6.
(3) ST PGMA. Submit a USAR Form 22 with the correct Pay Group to the UPC. The Pay Group is always coded as
“AN” for USAR Soldiers.
[NOTE: See figure G-1, Section 1, MMPA PEC, PAS, ST PGMA.]
g. Effective date of grade. Check block 19 of USAR Form 22 and submit to the UPC with one of the documents in
paragraph D-2, rule 11, indicating the correct effective date of grade.
[NOTE: There is a difference between date of rank and effective date of grade. The effective date is used to determine rate of
pay and should be reflected in this field. See figure G-1, Section 1, MMPA, EDG.]
h. Leave indicator. This field should have an “X” displayed. No action is necessary if the ‘X” is missing unless the
Soldier is entitled to payment of accrued leave. In these cases, refer to paragraph 2-9 p (3).
[NOTE: See figure G-6, Section 6, MMPA, FI-IND.]
i. Leave cumulative days paid. This field lists the cumulative days of accrued leave that the Soldier has been paid during
their career.
(1) If the number of leave days displayed is incorrect, submit USAR Form 24 to the UPC to correct the leave days.
Check block 14 of the USAR Form 24 and enter the number of cumulative days accrued leave that the Soldier has been
paid. Attach supporting documents showing prior leave paid.
(2) If the number of leave days should reflect zero (0), submit USAR Form 24 to the UPC to correct the leave days.
Check block 14 and enter 0 for the number of cumulative days accrued leave that the Soldier has been paid.
[NOTE: See figure G-6, Section 6, MMPA, LV-PAID.]
2-21. Non-prior service indicator
a. The non-prior service (NPS) indicator on the MMPA will read “6” for NPS Soldiers.
b. The Defense Military Pay Office (DMPO) at the BCT site should remove the NPS indicator when the Soldier
completes BCT. If the NPS indicator still shows 6” on the next MMPA, submit a USAR Form 22 and copy of the DD Form
220 or DD Form 214, as applicable, to the UPC. The NPS indicator tells DJMS-RC to pay the Soldier as an E1 with less than
4 months of active duty, regardless of the actual number of months served. Therefore, it is important to remove the NPS
indicator when the Soldier completes BCT. You must also update the Training Pay Category (TPC) code in RLAS. Failure to
update the TPC will cause IDT types other than BA or rescheduled training (RST) to reject in DJMS-RC.
c. The NPS indicator also limits the number of drills payable to a Soldier. Drill limits are established by SSD. Soldiers
enlisting under the split option program are authorized to perform 12, 24, or 36 type 11 drills (BAs) prior to entry on BCT.
NPS Soldiers cannot perform any other type of drill or active duty, with the exception of ADOS-RC, prior to completion of
BCT. Removing the NPS indicator increases the limit for BAs (type 11) to 48. The limits for BAs are automatically set at 48
per FY for prior service Soldiers. Equivalent training (ET) and RST are included in this limit.
[NOTE: See figure G, Section 1, MMPA NPS.]
2-22. Pay status and active duty codes
The DJMS-RC uses pay status and active duty codes to determine what types of duty a Soldier may be paid. See table 2-1
for a list of pay status and active duty codes.
a. Pay status codes. There are seven pay status codes:
(1) Pay status code A.All TPU Soldiers are accessed in pay status code A.This code allows payment for all
types of training.
(2) Pay status code N.” Deceased Soldiers. Pay status code "K" is used temporarily for deceased Soldiers
until completion of final audit and payments by DFAS.
(3) Pay status code Z.Soldiers on ADT and ADOS-RC tours of over 29 days. This code is established
automatically when the UPC or an active duty site listed in appendix C initiates pay for an active duty tour of 29 days or
more for a Soldier. This code restricts payment of IDT during the tour.
(4) Pay status code W.” Soldier is performing Initial Entry Training (IET) and receiving pay through DJMS-RC.
(5) Pay status code “X.” TPU Soldiers in the Simultaneous Membership (SMP) Cadet Program.
(6) Pay status code O.” Soldier is mobilized or performing ADOS (formerly known as temporary tour active duty
(TTAD)) and receiving pay through DJMS-RC.
(7) Pay status code R.Soldier has an ROTC “Student” MMPA.
b. Active duty codes. There are three active duty codes signifying that the Soldier has a pay account on DJMS-Active
Component (DJMS-AC) and the AC is paying the Soldier. These codes are:
(1) Active duty code “K.” Soldier is on Active Guard Reserve (AGR) tour. This code allows the Soldiers MMPA to
remain on DJMS-RC for future bonus payments if the Soldier is still eligible. This code prohibits payment for IDT, AT, ADT,
and ADOS-RC during the AGR tour. The pay status code will remain “A”. The Loss Indicator code will change to “LL” and the
SGLI collections will stop on DJMS-RC, but collect from the AGR pay account. See paragraph 6-1 for processing procedures for
Soldiers entering on AGR tour. Pay status code K is used temporarily for deceased Soldiers until completion of final audit and
USAR PAM 37-1 • 7 May 2018 17
payments by DFAS.
(2) Active duty code “S.” Used only when mobilized and paid by the Active Army (full mobilization). This code is
not used for contingency operations, individual unit, or Soldier activations.
(3) Active duty code “Y.” Soldiers attending IET and paid by DJMS-AC. This code is obsolete as all USAR Soldiers
receive pay through DJMS-RC during IET. The Y” active duty code remains on the MMPA and the UCPMR for history
purposes, preventing duplicate payments for Soldiers previously paid for IET on DJMS-AC.
[NOTE: See figure G-2, Section 2, MMPA PAY STATUS, Section 3 AD-CODE-DATES.]

Section X
Organization Changes
2-23. Changes to organizational data
a. The UPC receives force structure changes to unit organizational data (including activation of new units and derivative
UICs for mobilization, inactivation, and re-designation) and updates DJMS-RC with the new data. Units with organizational
changes must monitor their pay reports to ensure that the change takes effect within 30 days of the effective date on the
permanent order. If changes have not been made, contact your CPM. Newly activated units must contact the RD in their region
for a payroll number and Site ID. The RD must coordinate with the appropriate pay team at the UPC to determine the payroll
number.
b. Changes to unit address and telephone numbers are not automated and require submission of a USAR Form 26 to the
UPC. Check “Organizational Change” under Handling Information and enter the new address or telephone number in the
Remarks section.
Section XI
Reassignment and Transfers
2-24. Required documentation
Reassignments or transfers (other than attachments over 180 days) of Soldier pay accounts between Army Reserve units or
from the National Guard are processed through SSD. Follow exception processing procedures in paragraph 2-5 when a
transfer processes in TAPDB-R/RLAS, but not in DJMS-RC, or does not process in either system. For attachments over 180
days, submit a copy of the attachment order to the UPC.
2-25. Verifying and updating account information
Upon receipt of the first MMPA for a new Soldier, verify that all data is correct and whether there are
incent
ive or special pays
18 USAR PAM 37-1 • 7 May 2018
on the MMPA requiring termination. If necessary, submit documentation required to update MMPA information (e.g., direct
deposit, mailing address, state of legal residence, termination of incentive pay,
etc.)
, or have the Soldier use myPay to update the
information. Appendix G contains information on each data item on the MMPA.
Section XII
Separations
2-26. Separation process
Separations processed in TAPDB-R/RLAS create SSD transactions that separate the MMPA. Follow exception
procedures in paragraph 2-5 when a separation processes in TAPDB-R/RLAS, but not in DJMS-RC. Ensure that the
Soldier’s MMPA is up-to-date before submitting the separation request. It is important that the mailing address is
accurate so that the IRS Form W-2 and any other correspondence will reach the Soldier. Submit USAR Form 22 to the
UPC to change the address. Refer to paragraph 2-15 for procedures on updating SGLI.
[NOTE: See figure G-1, Section 1, MMPA, ADRS-2, ADRS-3, ADRS-4, ADRS-5, ADRS-EFF-DT.]
2-27. Bonus terminations
The UPC terminates bonuses and recoups unearned portions of bonus payments automatically when a Soldier is separated
through SSD. The UPA must submit a USAR Form 23, Selective Reserve Incentive Program (SRIP) Adjustment
Certification Worksheet) to prevent recoupment for Soldiers who are not subject to recoupment, authorized suspension of
their bonus, or are entering on AGR tour and retain eligibility for future anniversary payments. See the Reserve Pay
Supplemental Guidance at https://xtranet/Organization/DCGUSARC/CoS/Coordinating/DCSG-
8/pay/References/Forms/Refs.aspx for information on bonus procedures.
2-28. MMPA disposition after separation
The LOSS data item in Section 1 of the MMPA will reflect "LL" when a separation processes for a Soldier. Separated
MMPAs remain on DJMS-RC until purged by DFAS-IN. Separated MMPAs are normally purged on the first daily
update to DJMS-RC in January for accounts separated for more than 1 year. Purge occurs for all MMPAs that were "LL"
for the previous 368 days, except for dual status ROTC MMPAs, held pay status MMPAs, and AGR MMPAs.
Transactions for drills, active duty, bonuses and account maintenance will process for MMPAs in "LL" status if the
MMPA is still on DJMS-RC and the effective date of the transaction is prior to the date of separation (DOS).
[NOTE: See figure G-1, Section 1, MMPA, LOSS, DOS.]
Section XIII
Drill Limits/Authorizations
2-29. Drill limits
Table 2-2 provides the FY limits for each drill type. Note that type 21 (ET) drills count towards the FY limit for type 11
drills. Soldiers may not perform ET or RST in the current FY for drills missed in the previous FY. The ET or RST counts
against the year it is paid; therefore, the Soldier will reach 48 drills prior to the units scheduled 48th drill. See AR 140-1 for
information on IDT.

2-30. Non-prior service (NPS) drill limitations
NPS Soldiers have drill limits that differ from prior service Soldiers. NPS Soldiers may only perform type 11 and 21 drills
prior to BCT. FY drill limits for NPS Soldiers are:
USAR PAM 37-1 • 7 May 2018 19
a. Type 11 BA. Soldiers are authorized 12, 24 or 36 prior to IET, depending on their age, education, and the period
between enlistment and reporting to IET.
b. Type 21 ET. Soldiers are authorized four per FY (these drills count towards the type 11 limit).
c. Refer to AR 140-1 and AR 601-210, Active and Reserve Components Enlistment Program for more information.
2-31. Reinstatement of NPS drill limitations
The unit must reinstate the NPS drill limitations when a Soldier fails to complete BCT. Submit a USAR Form 22- R to the UPC.
Check block 19 of the USAR Form 22 and include the drill types and limits authorized prior to BCT in block 20.
2-32. Drill restrictions.
a. Soldiers are not authorized to exceed the 48-drill limitation when transferring between Army Reserve TPUs or from the
ARNG to the USAR.
b. Soldiers may not perform RST for BAs scheduled after date of discharge; transfer to the IRR, retired Reserve or another
Component.
Section XIV
Taxes
2-33. Federal tax withholding
a. Soldiers should use their myPay account (see para 2-10) to change their marital status or number of exemptions for
federal tax withholding. Soldiers experiencing problems with myPay can submit an IRS Form W-4 to the UPC to update their
federal tax information. New Soldiers should review their federal tax withholding information on their first LES and make
changes if necessary.
b. Soldiers wishing to elect a higher rate or additional federal tax withholding should use myPay to change their amount of
additional tax, marital status, or number of exemptions. Soldiers without access to myPay should complete an IRS Form W-4 to
change their additional tax, marital status or number of exemptions. Additional withholding is available in increments of $1.00
(minimum) up to $84.00 (maximum) for each day of basic pay. Soldiers entering on a long tour of active duty or mobilization
should be advised to review their additional tax withholding.
(1) Example 1: A Soldier requests $2.00 additional federal income tax withholding and performs a BA 2; $4
is
withheld for the two BAs.
(2) Example 2: Same Soldier performs a 14-day AT period; $28 would be withheld for the active duty period ($2.00 for
each day of active duty).
(3) Example 3: Soldier with $15 additional federal tax withholding is mobilized; $450 will be withheld for each
month.
c. DFAS-IN will notify the UPC if the IRS determines a Soldier's federal tax withholding status is incorrect. The UPC
changes the Soldier's exemptions to the maximum number authorized by the IRS and notifies the unit of the change. The
withholding rate will continue until the Soldier submits a new W-4 that does not exceed the number of exemptions allowed
by the IRS. Soldiers wishing to contest the IRS decision must contact the IRS.

2-34. The IRS Form W-2 (Wage and Tax Statement)
The IRS Form W-2 is issued each January for the prior tax year. The W-2 includes wages paid from January through
December. The W-2s are available for viewing and printing on myPay. By using myPay, Soldiers give consent to receive
their W-2 through myPay and no longer receive them through the mail. Soldiers who do not use myPay and Soldiers who
separated during the previous tax year will receive their W-2 by mail.
a. Reissued IRS Form W-2. If a Soldier does not receive the original W-2, or if the original was lost or damaged,
the
Soldier can use their myPay account or call DFAS at 1-888-PAYARMY to request reissue.
b. Corrected IRS Form W-2. Soldiers requiring a corrected W-2 due to an error in money amounts can submit the request via
letter, fax or telephone. The request must include the Soldier's name, SSN, mailing address, and telephone number.
Mail: DFAS Indianapolis Center, ATTN: DFAS-IN/RC/NG, 8899 East 56th St., Indianapolis, IN 46249.
Fax: Commercial 317-510-4346 or DSN 699-4346.
Telephone: 1-888-332-7411.
c. Multiple W-2s. Soldiers who received payments from DJMS-AC and DJMS-RC during a year will receive two W-2s. A
separate W-2 is also issued to Soldiers who were reimbursed for a do-it-yourself move by the Active Army.
d. SLRP/HPLRP W-2. Soldiers who received SLRP/HPLRP payments during the previous year will receive a separate
W-2. SLRP/HPLRP W-2s are available on myPay. SLRP/HPLRP payments are taxable and taxes are withheld from
payments. Information on SLRP/HPLRP can be found in the Reserve Pay Supplemental Guidance at
https://xtranet/Organization/DCGUSARC/CoS/Coordinating/DCSG-8/pay/References/Forms/Refs.aspx
2-35. State tax withholding
20 USAR PAM 37-1 • 7 May 2018
a. Soldiers should use their myPay account (see para 2-10) to change their marital status or number of exemptions for
state tax withholding. For Soldiers who experience problems with their myPay account, submit a state form W-4 or IRS
Form W-4 annotated STATE TAXon top, to the UPC. State exemptions do not have to be the same as federal exemptions.
b. Soldiers may elect to have additional state tax withheld. Soldiers experiencing problems or without access to myPay
should complete an IRS Form W-4 indicating the amount of additional withholding they desire. Additional withholding is
available in increments of $1.00 (minimum) up to $84.00 (maximum) for each day of basic, special, or incentive pay.
Calculation of additional state tax withholding is different than for additional federal tax withholding in that it includes
special and incentive pays. See paragraph 2-33 for examples of additional tax withholding.
[NOTE: See figure G-4, Section 4, MMPA FITW-W2-STATE.]
Section XV
Extension, Reenlistment, and ETS Date Corrections
2-36. Extension, reenlistment, and ETS date corrections

RC. Submit USAR Form 22 to the UPC with DD Form 4 or DA Form 4836 and one of the SSD exception documents listed in
paragraph 2-6.
[NOTE: See figure G-1, Section 1, MMPA ETS.]
Chapter 3
Inactive and Active Duty Pay Procedures
Section I
Inactive Duty Training (IDT)
3-1. Inactive Duty Training (IDT) payment procedures- Automated Drill Attendance Reporting System (ADARS)
a. Use ADARS to report IDT performance inside IAS (current and 11 previous months). Attendance outside of IAS
will reject in DJMS-RC. See appendix D, procedure D-18, for processing procedures for attendance outside IAS.
b. Refer to the Reserve Pay Supplemental Guidance at
https://xtranet/Organization/DCGUSARC/CoS/Coordinating/DCSG-8/pay/References/Forms/Refs.aspx for instructions on
using ADARS to report IDT attendance inside IAS.
3-2. IDT administrative procedures
a. Reporting unit attendance requires the use of an IDT Attendance Roster. The ADARS IDT Attendance Roster is the
only roster authorized for reporting unit BA attendance. ADARS generates the IDT Attendance Roster from information
drawn from the RLAS Personnel module. Print the IDT Attendance Roster a few days prior to your BA weekend and enter
absence codes for any known absences (Soldiers on AT, ADT, IADT, RST, etc.). Make all annotations on the IDT
Attendance Roster in ink. See figure 3-1 for a sample of an annotated ADARS IDT Attendance Roster.
b. The unit commander is responsible for establishing sign-in procedures. Depending on the size of the unit, you
can
centrally locate the ADARS IDT Attendance Roster or distribute it to sections. The Soldier must sign for each BA period
(even for one BA). Soldiers must sign-in prior to the beginning of a BA or opening formation of a BA. You may add
new Soldiers manually to the ADARS IDT Attendance Roster, but you must ensure the Soldiers appear in the Personnel
module before you can process their pay in ADARS. Soldiers performing duty on BA weekend away from the units duty
site must complete a DA Form 1380 to receive pay for IDT performance.
c. The senior NCO (normally the 1SG), is responsible for securing the ADARS IDT Attendance Roster prior to the opening
formation and for determining when sign-in should end. After opening formation, the senior NCO determines the attendance
status (excused or unexcused absence) of all Soldiers absent from the BA. The Senior NCO posts the signature line for the first
period of the drill with an attendance status of either an “A” for excused absence, U” for unexcused absence, or “W” for excused
absence - Equivalent Training authorized. All other signature lines should be complete, with either the Soldiers signature or an
absence code posted prior to drill. All excused absences and RSTs require an approved excused absence form or request for RST.
This form is developed by the unit or GFC command.
d. The senior NCO is responsible for the safekeeping of the ADARS IDT Attendance Roster until after the last closing
formation of the BA weekend. During the BA weekend, the ADARS IDT Attendance Roster must be kept in a limited access
area when not in use.
e. Soldiers who arrive after the conclusion of opening formation must have written permission (recommended by the
supervisor and approved by the unit commander or senior NCO) to sign-in. A sample permission to sign-in slip format is at
figure 3-2. If the Soldier has already been coded as absent, line out the attendance code on the Sign-In Roster and have the
Soldier sign the attendance roster. Soldiers must make up time missed after that days closing formation in order to receive
credit for the BA. The Soldier’s supervisor must verify that the Soldier made up the time missed. Maintain the permission to
sign-in slips with the ADARS IDT Attendance Roster.
USAR PAM 37-1 • 7 May 2018 21
f. Soldiers must sign-out after the closing formation for the BA. Soldiers not present for closing formation must complete a
DA Form 1380 to receive credit for the afternoon BA.
g. The unit commander must designate individuals authorized to monitor sign-in and sign-out, and control the ADARS
IDT Attendance Roster, on an additional duty appointment memorandum. A sample appointment memorandum is at figure
3-3. These individuals provide the ADARS IDT Attendance Roster to the senior NCO prior to opening formation and after
closing formation and ensure the roster is not left unattended at any time. The appointment memorandums are an item for
review during inspections and Staff Assistance Visits (SAVs). Maintain the memorandums in ARIMS IAW appendix K.
h. The unit commander or alternate certifying official signs the ADARS IDT Attendance Roster after the last closing
formation of the units BA (e.g., closing formation on Sunday if BA is Saturday-Sunday). Alternate certifying officials are
appointed by memorandum. (A sample appointment memorandum is at figure 3-4). To prevent conflict of interests, the same
individual cannot certify an ADARS IDT Attendance Roster and input the drill attendance into ADARS. The unit commander
cannot designate personnel who have access to ADARS as alternate certifying officials.
i. The unit commander or alternate certifying official signs each page of the ADARS IDT Attendance Roster only after it is
complete with an attendance status posted for each Soldier. Units performing Battle Assemblies in multiple locations may
generate their attendance roster by sections and appoint an alternate certifying officer at each location to certify the section
attendance roster. Alternately, sections may mail, scan or fax their section attendance rosters to the unit for signature. The copy of
the section attendance roster maintained by the unit must contain the original signature of the certifying officer. The unit
commander’s or alternate certifying
o
fficials signature on the ADARS IDT Attendance Roster indicates his or her personal
verification of the attendance and authorizes pay. Therefore, the unit commander and alternate certifying official must have a
clear understanding of unit attendance and pay procedures.
j. Do not post attendance to ADARS until ALL periods of the ADARS IDT Attendance Roster have signatures or annotations
of duty status and the signature of the commander or alternate certifying official on each page. A review of the attendance codes
entered in RLAS is required prior to creating a TL. Print the ADARS Preview TL Report. The commander or alternate reviewing
officer must compare the report to the IDT attendance roster and DA 1380s to ensure the attendance codes are accurate. The
commander or alternate reviewing officer must enter “Reviewed”, their signature block, signature and date on the last page of
the report. Retain the report with the IDT attendance roster and DA Form 1380s.
k. You must create a TL in ADARS for unit attendance within 24 hours of the completion of the unit BA. You must create a
TL for individual drill attendance within 72 hours of receipt of a DA Form 1380.
3-3. Manual IDT reporting
a. You cannot process IDT in ADARS for drill periods outside IAS, (older than 12 months) or for Soldiers who
have separated and are no longer accessible in RLAS.
b. Submit IDT payments for these situations on USAR Form 22. Check block 19 and enter drill types, number of drills
and incentive codes (if applicable) in block 20. Attach supporting documents (DA Form 1380 or ADARS IDT Attendance
Roster). Include one of the reasons below in the remarks section of the USAR Form 26.
(1) IDT date older than 12 months.
(2) Soldier separated and no longer accessible in the ADARS module.
c. To pay or collect a drill performed within the last 12 months by a Soldier who has transferred to another unit and is not
visible in your RLAS, submit the documents in para 3-3b above to the RD for processing. Submit the following actions to the RD
via the RD inquiry mailbox for processing in ADARS. RD inquiry mailbox addresses are available on the USAR Pay
Management Division SharePoint, under the Command Pay Managers link, at
https://xtranet/Organization/DCGUSARC/CoS/Coordinating/DCSG-8/pay/Contacts/Forms/AllItems.aspx.
3-4. Funeral Honors Duty (FHD) payments
Use ADARS to process payment of Funeral Honors Duty Allowance (FHDA). See the Reserve Pay Supplemental Guidance
and appendix D, procedure D-25, for processing procedures.
3-5. Medical/Dental Readiness Periods
Use ADARS to process payment of Medical/Dental Readiness Periods (MDRP). See the Reserve Pay Supplemental
Guidance and appendix D, procedure D-26, for processing procedures.
3-6. Electronic Based Distributed Learning Courses
Use ADARS to process payment of Electronic Based Distributed Learning Courses (EBDL). See Reserve Pay Supplemental
Guidance and appendix D, procedure D-26, for processing procedures.
3-7. Collection of erroneous BA payments
a. Use ADARS to collect erroneous ADARS payments for BAs inside IAS. See appendix D, procedure D-18, for
processing procedures. See para 3-3c above for procedures for Soldiers who transferred to another unit.
b. Use USAR Forms 22 and 28 (Notice of Indebtedness) to collect erroneous BA payments outside of IAS. Complete
blocks 5 and 20 of the USAR Form 22. Include BA types, number of BAs, incentive pay codes (if applicable), and BA dates
22 USAR PAM 37-1 • 7 May 2018
to collect. See para 5-1c for debt processing requirements.
3-8. Disposition of attendance documents
The ADARS IDT Attendance Roster, permission to sign-in slips, DA Forms 1380, and ADARS transaction reports make up
the IDT performance package. IDT performance packages are an item for review during inspections and SAVs. File the IDT
performance package IAW appendix K. Keep the IDT performance package (by month) in the active file for a period of 1
year. Store the IDT performance package in the inactive file for the remaining 5 years and 3 months. Destroy the IDT
performance package after 6 years and 3 months.
Section II
Individual Active Duty
3-9. Certification requirements
a. All periods of individual active duty (AT, ADT, and ADOS-RC) require certification after duty completion by
someone with knowledge of the Soldiers duty performance. Periods of IADT, CO-ADOS and mobilization do not require
certification. Whenever possible, the person certifying should be someone at the training site. The unit commander or a
designated representative may certify duty performance when no one is available to certify at the training site, To avoid
conflicts of interest, do not appoint personnel with access to RADARS as designated representatives for certifying active
duty performance. Soldiers may not certify their own performance.
b. Certification Procedures:
(1) RLAS orders of 1-7 days. The Soldier and certifying official sign the performance statement on the bottom of the
order at the completion of duty. You cannot initiate payment for 1 - 7 day orders until the Soldier completes the duty and
provides duty certification. Create the payment in RADARS.
(2) Orders of 1-7 days produced outside of RLAS (HRC orders). Submit order and USAR Form 25, Individual
Active Duty Certificate of Performance signed by the Soldier and certifying official to the UPC to certify performance and
initiate payment.
(3) RLAS orders of 8-29 days. The Soldier and certifying official sign the performance statement on the bottom of the
order at the completion of duty. Certification is required within 30 days of the duty end date. Failure to certify duty will
result in collection of military pay and allowance paid previously for the duty period. Enter the certification in RADARS.
(4) Orders of 8-29 days produced outside RLAS (HRC orders). Certification is required within 30 days of the duty end
date. Failure to certify duty will result in collection of military pay and allowance paid previously for the duty period.

(5) Orders of 30 or more days. Soldiers performing ADT, ADOS or ADOS-RC at a location listed in appendix C, table
C-2, must certify duty performance by providing a USAR Form 25 or certified copy of the RLAS order to the installation
finance office NLT 10 days after each month and during out-processing. For duty at a location that is not listed in appendix
C, table C-2, submit a USAR Form 25 or certified copy of the RLAS order to the UPC NLT 10 days after each month and at
duty completion. Failure to certify duty monthly will result in suspension of future payments until certification is
received by the UPC. Continued failure to provide certification will result in collection of military pay and allowance paid
previously for the duty period.
3-10. Payment processing requirements
a. AT/ADT/ADOS-RC orders of 1 - 29 days issued in RLAS. Use RADARS to process duty periods inside IAS. Refer to
Reserve Pay Supplemental Guidance for processing procedures. All RADARS actions require a review of the data entered in
RLAS prior to creating a TL. See the Reserve Pay Supplemental Guidance for procedures on printing a preview report. The
commander or alternate reviewing officer must compare the report to the orders and available records to ensure the active duty
entitlements are accurate. The commander or alternate reviewing officer must enter “Reviewed”, their signature block, signature
and date on the last page of the report. Retain the report with the RADARS TL.
(1) Process orders of 1 - 7 days within 24 hours of receipt of certified orders.

FSA assists Soldiers with added expense resulting from a forced separation from their dependents. FSA is payable to Soldiers
who perform duty inside or outside the US that meet the conditions of entitlement. Soldiers whose only dependent is a child
and have a shared physical custody agreement must have physical custody on an equal basis (at least 14 days a month)
with the other parent to qualify for FSA. There are two subcategories of FSA Type-II applicable to Soldiers:
a. Family Separation Allowance--Restricted (FSA-R). Applies to restricted permanent change of station (PCS)
moves (normally 20 weeks or more) where transportation of dependents is not authorized at Government expense and
dependents do not live in the vicinity of the permanent duty station (PDS).
b. Family Separation AllowanceTemporary (FSA-T). Applies to Soldiers who are TDY from their PDS continuously for
more than 30 days and their dependents are not residing at or near the TDY station
c. See appendix D, procedure D-24, for instructions on processing FSA. Submit the claim to the office responsible for
paying the active duty order (UPC or finance office). See the DODFMR, Volume 7A, chapters 27 and 57 for more
information on FSA.
Section VII
Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH)
3-21. Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH)
A Soldiers entitlement to BAH is determined by the Soldiers grade, dependents, location, and substantiated by DA Form
5960. Use the RLAS RM module of RLAS to create the DA Form 5960. Creating the DA Form 5960 in RLAS also updates the
BAH information on the Soldier’s MMPA. It is essential the Soldier’s dependent information is current and matches in the
RLAS DA Form 5960 and Personnel modules. When processing active duty payments, the UPC will not pay BAH to
Soldiers whose DA Form 5960 does not agree with the BAH information on their Master Military Pay Account (MMPA).
The UPC will notify the unit to process a new DA Form 5960 in RLAS. The UPC will start BAH for the active duty period
automatically once the unit creates the DA Form 5960 in RLAS. See chapter 9 of the Reserve Pay Supplemental Guidance
for DA Form 5960 processing procedures.
a. BAH categories.
(1) BAH with or without dependents. A variable rate determined by the Soldiers pay grade and dependency status. BAH
is paid at the rate for the Soldier’s residence or duty location when the active duty is considered a PCS.
(2) BAH Reserve Component (BAH RC) with or without dependents. A standard rate determined by the Soldiers pay
grade and dependency status.
USAR PAM 37-1 • 7 May 2018 27
(3) BAH Partial. A standard rate paid to Soldiers without dependents residing in single type government quarters in a PCS
status or in the accession pipeline.
(4) BAH-Differential (BAH-DIFF). A standard rate paid to Soldiers who's only dependent is a child for which they are
paying child support. BAH-DIFF is payable only when the Soldier is residing in single type government quarters in a PCS status
or in the accession pipeline.
b. Type of BAH payable.
(1) AT/ADT/ADOS-RC of 1-30 days; BAH RC.
(2) ADT of 31 - 139 days; BAH at rate for Soldier's residence.
(3) ADT of 140 days or more at one location. BAH at rate for duty location. BAH Partial or BAH-DIFF may be payable if
Soldier does not have dependents and is assigned single type government quarters.
(4) ADT of 140 days and movement of household goods is not authorized because:
(a) the duty is not performed for 140 or more days at one location or
(b) the Soldier commutes to the duty location daily from his/her primary residence or
(c) there is a Secretarial waiver authorizing BAH based on the dependent’s location (applicable only to Soldiers with
dependents while attending a Professional Military Education school). BAH is based on the Soldiers primary residence. There
is specific guidance on when shipment of household goods is not authorized in chapters 2, 7, and 10 of the JTR. Commands
cannot prohibit shipment of household goods simply to pay BAH at the rate for the Soldiers residence.
(5) ADOS-RC of 31 - 180 days; BAH at rate for Soldier's residence.
(6) ADOS-RC of 181 days or more and movement of household goods is authorized, (PCS); BAH at rate for duty
location. BAH Partial or BAH-DIFF may be payable if Soldier is assigned single type government quarters.
(7) ADOS-RC of 181 or more days when not authorized movement of household goods because
(a) the duty is not performed for 181 or more days at one location or
(b) the Soldier commutes to the duty location daily from his/her primary residence or
(c) there is a Secretarial waiver authorizing TDY beyond 180 days. BAH is based on the Soldier’s primary residence.
There is specific guidance on when shipment of household goods is not authorized in chapters 2, 7, and 10 of the JTR.
Commands cannot prohibit shipment of household goods simply to pay BAH at the rate for the Soldiers residence.
(8) Contingency operations (any length); BAH is payable at rate for Soldier's primary residence, unless the Soldier is in a
PCS status, then BAH is payable at the duty location rate.
c. Dependency determination. The unit commander or appointed officer determines entitlement to BAH with
dependents through a review of dependency documents such as marriage and birth certificates, court orders, divorce decrees,
or child support orders. Dependency must be certified and approved before authorizing entitlement to BAH. Certification and
approval is recorded on a DA Form 5960 or DD Form 1373, -4, -5, -6 or -7 (as appropriate) and DFAS approval
memorandum for secondary dependents. The appropriate form is determined by the relationship of the dependent to the
Soldier. See table 3-1 for dependent types, supporting documentation, approval authority, and appropriate forms.
d. Establishing BAH on the MMPA.
(1) For dependents certified by DA Form 5960, review the BAH-RC-STAT field in Section 2 of the 2405 History
Report. Create a DA Form 5960 in RLAS if the BAH status is incorrect. Place a copy of the certified DA Form 5960 and
dependent documents in the Soldiers Army Military Human Resource Record (AMHRR) by uploading in iPERMS.
(2) For dependents certified by DFAS, direct Soldiers to the DFAS Secondary Dependency claims web site at
www.dfas.mil. Soldiers can submit initial and recertification claims for secondary dependents through this web site.
DFAS will determine whether the Soldier is eligible for BAH on behalf of the dependent and return an approval memo
to the Soldier. Create a DA Form 5960 in RLAS once you have the approval memo. Place a copy of certified DA 5960,
DFAS approval memo, and dependent documents in the Soldiers AMHRR.
e. Change in BAH status. If a Soldier has a change in dependency status (e.g., marries, divorces, child born, child
reaches legal age, etc.), process a DA Form 5960 in RLAS. Upload the DA Form 5960 and proof of dependents to
iPERMS. For dependents certified by DFAS, direct Soldiers to the DFAS Secondary Dependency claims web site at
www.dfas.mil. DFAS will determine whether the Soldier is eligible for BAH on behalf of the dependent and return an
approval memo to the Soldier. Create a DA Form 5960 in RLAS once you have the approval memo. Place a copy of the
certified DFA 5960, DFAS approval memo, and dependent documents in the Soldiers.
f. Recertification of dependency. Soldiers must certify their dependency status annually (within 364 days of the last
recertification). Recertification is accomplished in RLAS by selectingRecertify 5960 on the Soldier’s RM RADARS 5960
Summary page. Soldiers with secondary dependents approved by DFAS must provide a new approval memo before you can recertify
their DA 5960. RLAS will not allow you to process pay in any of the RADARS modules if the DA Form 5960 certification
date in RLAS is 365 days old or greater.
g. BAH RC with dependents. Once the DA Form 5960 is created in RLAS, Soldiers automatically receive BAH RC with
dependents for AT/ADT/ADOS-RC of 1-30 days unless the DA Form 5960 certification date is older than 365 days or older or the
dependent information does not match between RLAS Personnel and the DA Form 5960 module. Soldiers that have dependents
residing in family-type Government quarters are not authorized any BAH.
h. BAH RC without dependents. Soldiers without dependents are entitled to BAH RC at the without dependent rate for
AT/ADT/ADOS-RC of 1-30 days. Availability of Government quarters does not affect BAH RC entitlement for Soldiers
28 USAR PAM 37-1 • 7 May 2018
without dependents. Soldiers are not required to prove housing costs. Soldiers without dependents must have a DA Form
5960 in RLAS to receive BAH-RC.
i. BAH partial. BAH partial is payable to Soldiers without dependents performing IADT/accession pipeline training
who are not maintaining a residence or when in a PCS status (see para 3-21b) and assigned single-type Government quarters
or housing under the jurisdiction of a uniformed service.
j. Soldiers paying child support. BAH-RC with dependents is payable to a Soldier whose only dependent is a child and the
Soldier pays support for the child to the custodial parent/guardian. Soldiers must provide the birth certificate or proof that they are
paying child support. If no birth certificate is available, other acceptable documentation include a certified DNA test, a court
order specifying child support payments or a notarized statement from the custodian acknowledging that the custodian will accept
support payments from the Soldier. The statement must include the support amount. Additionally a cancelled check, money
order, EFT or other financial document demonstrating payment of support is required. The amount of the child support
must be equal to or greater than the BAH-DIFF rate to qualify the Soldier for BAH-RC with dependents. Create a DA 5960 in
RLAS and upload it and proof of dependents to iPERMS.
(1) BAH-DIFF is payable to a Soldier who's only dependent is a child and the Soldier pays support for the child to the
custodial parent/guardian when the Soldier:
(a) is in a PCS status (see para 3-21b) and assigned single-type Government quarters or housing under the
jurisdiction of a uniformed service. BAH with dependents is payable when the Soldier is not assigned Government
quarters.
(b) is performing IADT/accession pipeline training and not maintaining a residence.
(c) has a child not claimed as a dependent for BAH purposes by a military parent or residing in adequate Government
family quarters.
(d) The amount of the child support must be equal to or greater than the BAH-DIFF rate to authorize payment of BAH-
DIFF to the Soldier.
k. Soldier married to Soldier without dependents. Create a DA Form 5960 in RLAS. The MMPA BAH-RC-STAT field
should reflect 0” (zero) and the DT/DOB field should show I” for Soldier married to Soldier.
(1) When both Soldiers are on duty at the same time, each receives BAH at the without dependent rate. The type of BAH
is determined by duty type and length (see para 3-21b).
(2) When both Soldiers are not on duty at the same time, the Soldier on duty receives BAH at the "with dependent"
rate. The type of BAH is determined by duty type and length (see para 3-21b).
(3) If one of the married Soldiers leaves military service, create a new DA Form 5690 to update the remaining
Soldier’s BAH status to reflect BAH-RC-STAT “1” (one) and DT/DOB A” for Soldier with civilian spouse. .
l. Soldier married to Soldier with dependents.
(1) When Soldiers have children of their marriage, they must elect which one will receive BAH with dependents when
both Soldiers are on active duty at the same time. Process a DA Form 5960 in RLAS for the Soldier who will receive BAH
without dependents prior to paying the order in RADARS. The MMPA BAH-RC-STAT field should reflect 1” (one) and the
DT/DOB field should show Wfor each Soldier when they are not on active duty at the same time. The MMPA BAH-RC
STAT field should reflect “0” (zero) and the DT/DOB field should show I” for the Soldier receiving BAH without dependents
when the Soldiers are on duty at the same time.
(2) The procedures above apply when both Soldiers are a custodial parent of a child not of their marriage. Each Soldier
is entitled to BAH with dependents when both are on active duty at the same time but in different locations. Only one
Soldier may receive BAH with dependents when both Soldiers are on active duty at the same time in the same location.
(3) If one of the married Soldiers leaves military service, prepare a new DA Form 5690 in RLAS for BAH with dependents.
m. Determining location rate for BAH.
(1) Soldiers on ADT/ADOS-RC of 31 or more days who meet the criteria in table 3-1 are entitled to BAH based on
their residence if not assigned adequate Government family quarters.
(2) Soldiers ordered to duty in support of a contingency operation are entitled to BAH based on their residence when
not authorized transportation of household goods (HHG) for PCS.
(3) Soldiers on ADT of 140 or more days are entitled to BAH based on their duty location if not assigned adequate
Government family quarters.
(4) Soldiers on ADT of 140 or more days but not authorized movement of household goods because the duty is not
performed for 140 or more days at one location or there is a Secretarial waiver (Soldiers with dependents and attending
Professional Military Education only) for the school, BAH is based on the Soldier’s primary residence. There is specific guidance
on when shipment of household goods is not authorized in chapters 2, 7, and 10 of the JTR. Commands cannot prohibit shipment
of household goods simply to pay BAH at the rate for the Soldiers residence.
(5) Soldiers on ADOS-RC of 181 or more days are entitled to BAH based on their duty location if not assigned
adequate Government family quarters.
(6) Soldiers on ADOS-RC of 181 or more days are authorized BAH based on the Soldier’s primary residence when not
authorized movement of household goods because
(a) the duty is not performed for 181 or more days at one location or
(b) the Soldier commutes to the duty location daily from his/her primary residence or
(c) there is a Secretarial waiver authorizing TDY beyond 180 days; there is specific guidance on when shipment of
USAR PAM 37-1 • 7 May 2018 29
household goods is not authorized in chapters 2, 7, and 10 of the JTR. Commands cannot prohibit shipment of household goods
simply to pay BAH at the rate for the Soldiers residence.
n. Non-support of dependent. Soldiers receiving BAH with dependents forfeit their BAH entitlement if they fail to provide
support to their dependents. Recoup BAH payments for periods of nonsupport or inadequate support. See the JTR, chapter 10
for further information.

orders (Format 332) to flying duty and have met the minimum flight requirements and all other conditions of entitlements per the
DODFMR reference. Payment of flight pay at the crew member rate is based on pay grade. The non-crewmember rate is a flat
dollar amount. The monthly rate is prorated for IDT and active duty periods of less than 30 days.
(3) Substantiating documentation: Format 332 hazardous duty incentive pay order published by the RD. Orders
issued by a military installation authorizing flight pay for a period of training are invalid for pay purposes.
(a) Submit a copy of the order to the UPC to establish the incentive pay code (code A or B) on the MMPA
(b). All HDIP orders require certification of continued eligibility for the incentive pay annually. See paragraph 3-22f for
certification requirements. DJMS-RC will not pay HDIP for duty performed after the end date in the IP-TYPE/DATES field of
Section 2 of the MMPA. See appendix G for an explanation of the IP-TYPE/DATES field. See appendix D, procedure D-27, for
further information on starting and stopping flight pay.
(c). Submit orders terminating flight pay to the UPC to remove the incentive code from the MMPA.
(d) Active duty orders must contain an additional instruction authorizing flight pay.
(4) Payment procedures.
(a) IDT. Verify that the Soldier has met the minimum flight requirements. If the incentive pay code (A or B) is
established on the MMPA and the incentive pay (IP) DATES field is not expired, the Soldier can receive flight pay; process the
payment in ADARS. If the incentive code is not on the MMPA, submit a USAR Form 22 with blocks 6 and 20 completed and
include a copy of the incentive pay order. Make subsequent payments through ADARS. Soldiers performing Medical/Dental
Readiness Periods (MDRPs), Funeral Honors Duty (FHD) and Electronic Based Distance Learning Additional Drill Assemblies
(EBDL) are not authorized flight pay. Do not select the flight pay code in ADARS when inputting attendance for MDRP, FHD
or EBDL periods.
(b) Active duty. Verify that the Soldier has met all requirements to receive this incentive pay. If the incentive pay code is
established on the MMPA and the active duty has an additional instruction authorizing flight pay, process the payment in
RADARS. For orders not issued by RLAS, or if the incentive code is not on the MMPA, submit a USAR Form 24 with blocks 11
and 16 completed, a copy of the active duty order, and a copy of the incentive pay order to the UPC. Make subsequent payments

(2) ACIP is payable to officers who hold an aeronautical rating order, are assigned to a rated position in the Army
Reserve, and are performing operational flying duty (unless gated). Payment for ACIP is based on years of aviation service as
an officer. The ACIP monthly rate is prorated for IDT periods and active duty period of less than 30 days.
(3) Continuous ACIP is earned by completing a minimum number of operational flying years before reaching a specific
gate year of aviation service while assigned to a rated position. Continuous ACIP is payable to officers who hold an aeronautical
rating order and meet one of the various gates outlined in the DODFMR. If an officer meets a gate, they are issued a gate
memorandum by HRC. This gate memorandum provides the date the officer met the specific gate, the duration the officer will
qualify under this gate (termination date), their verified aviation service date (ASD), and their verified total federal officer
service. Officers in the Army Reserve must hold one of these gate memos to qualify for continuous ACIP, in addition to meeting
other medical requirements. Continuous ACIP qualified officers do not have to meet flight requirements or be assigned to an
aeronautical unit. They must be assigned to a position that requires an Officer Evaluation Report. Flight surgeons and other
medical officers are not entitled to continuous ACIP.
(4) Conditional ACIP is payable to those officers who are not entitled to continuous ACIP (do not hold a gate or failed
their gate audit or no longer assigned to a rated position). Conditional ACIP is payable to officers who hold an aeronautical
rating order, meet medical requirements, and are performing 2 hours of operational flying duty. Officers with more than 25
years of aviation service are only authorized Conditional ACIP. Officers entitled to conditional ACIP are required to meet
minimum monthly flight requirements as outlined in the DODFMR. Conditional ACIP is payable to flight surgeons and other

contributions are sent to TSP as deferred contributions and the Soldier’s year-to-date taxable wages are reduced by the
amount of the contribution. Catch-up contributions are not included in the TSP deductions or deferred deductions portion
of the LES.
(1) Soldiers must use myPay to start traditional or ROTH TSP catch-up contributions.
(2) Soldiers must complete Form TSP-U-1-C available at www.TSP.gov to stop traditional or ROTH TSP catch-up
contributions. The effective date must be a current or future date.
(3) Soldiers must complete Form TSP-U-1-C available at www.TSP.gov and the Supplemental Information for TSP-U-1-C
worksheet available at https://xtranet/Organization/DCGUSARC/CoS/Coordinating/DCSG-8/pay/References/Forms/Refs.aspx to change
catch up contributions.
(4) Submit TSP-U-1-C and Supplemental Information for TSP-U-1-C worksheet to the UPC.
(5) Soldiers should visit www.TSP.gov and view their statements to validate catch-up contributions.
d. USAR Soldiers can withdraw funds from TSP under the following conditions:
(1) Request a loan and repay through collections from their military pay account.
(2) Request a hardship withdrawal. The Soldier must substantiate the hardship and may only receive the amount
contributed by the Soldier.

discharge, etc.) will receive a notice detailing options for their TSP balance.
(2) Soldiers who are separated erroneously or transfer for a valid reason without a break in service must restart their TSP
in myPay.
(3) If a Soldier is separated or transferred out of the TPU for a valid reason (including, but not limited to, AC
enlistment, AGR, IRR transfer, discharge, etc.) for at least 1 full day, which is a real break in service, the Soldier must
restart TSP in myPay or submit a new TSP form to the UPC.
(4) Soldiers who transfer to the IRR while performing active duty must contact the HRC UPC to reestablish TSP
elections.

Note 7
NOTE 1: The purpose of this table is to provide assistance in determining dependency and the correct BAH type for TPU Soldiers. This table is
not all encompassing. Refer to chapter 10 of the Joint Federal Travel Regulation (JTR) for additional information and or unusual circumstances.
NOTE 2: Proof of support of a lawful spouse or unmarried, minor, legitimate child of the Soldier is generally not required. However, when evidence
of nonsupport or inadequate support is received, or the Soldier’s BAH claim is based on child support, the Soldier must provide proof of adequate
support to maintain BAH at the “with dependents” rate.
NOTE 3: When a Soldier is married to another Soldier and they do not have any other dependents, BAH is established at the “without dependents”
rate. When both Soldiers are not on active duty at the same time, the Soldier on duty is entitled to
BAH at the “with dependents” rate. In this case, claim BAH with dependents IAW paragraph 3-21k. When both Soldiers are on active duty at the
same time but in different locations and each have physical custody of other dependents or are paying adequate child support, each would receive
BAH at the “with dependents” rate.
NOTE 4: The Soldier is entitled to BAH at the “with dependents” rate on behalf of a legally separated spouse if the Soldier contributes to the
support of his/her spouse in an amount that is not less than the applicable BAH-DIFF rate.
NOTE 5: Soldier is entitled to BAH at the “without dependents” rate if support is not provided or the amount of support is less than the applicable
BAH-DIFF rate.
NOTE 6: A Soldier whose only dependent is a child is considered a custodial parent if he/she is awarded primary physical custody of a dependent
child who is under the age of 21 or incapacitated. In cases of shared physical custody for a member divorced from another member, the member
with physical custody at the time of call to active duty is considered the custodial parent. Both members cannot be custodial parents during the
same period. In cases where the Soldier is not the custodial parent, but pays child support in an amount equal to or greater than the applicable
BAH DIFF rate, BAH is established at the “with dependents” rate. In cases where the Soldier is not the custodial parent, and does not pay child
support in an amount equal to or greater than the applicable BAH DIFF rate, BAH is established at the “without dependents” rate.
NOTE 7: DFAS will determine the type of BAH authorized. BAH status cannot be established until DFAS-IN makes a dependency determination.

Reserve Pay Support and the Pay Inquiry Process
4-1. Reserve pay support - General
a. Responsibility for providing assistance with Reserve pay issues lies within the RDs Directorate of Resource
Management. RD personnel providing pay support are known as CPMs. RD CPMs provide reserve pay technical and
training support to units and RPACs within their geographic area of responsibility (GAOR). Units and RPACs will contact
the RD in their region for assistance with Reserve pay actions except as noted in paragraph b below.
b. Some GFC Commands require their units to contact the Command G8 rather than the RD for Reserve pay assistance. A
list of those commands is at the link in paragraph e below.
c. RD GAORs (by state):
(1) 63rd RD: AR, AZ, CA, NM, NV, OK, TX.
(2) 81st RD: AL, FL, GA, KY, LA, MS, NC, SC, TN, PR.
(3) 88th RD: CO, IA, IL, ID, IN, KS, MI, MN, MO, MT, ND, NE, OH, OR, SD, UT, WA, WI, WY.
(4) 99th RD: CT, DC, DE, MA, MD, ME, NH, NJ, NY, PA, RI, VA, VT, WV.
d. RD CPMs have visibility in RLAS of all Soldiers within the USARC. RD CPMs can pay Soldiers assigned to other
RDs via RLAS, but may need to coordinate with the other RDs to resolve active duty orders issues.
e. A list of GFC and RD CPMs , to include contact information, is at
https://xtranet/Organization/DCGUSARC/CoS/Coordinating/DCSG-8/pay/Contacts/Forms/AllItems.aspx.
4-2. RD and GFC CPMs Responsibilities
Responsibilities of the RD and GFC CPMs include:
a. Providing assistance in the use of RLAS and other systems for paying inactive and active duty periods, incentives, and
retrieving reports.
b. Assisting with resolution of USAR pay problems, Presidential, Congressional, IG, and other pay inquiries.
c. Acting as a liaison between units and the USAR Pay Center.
d. Conducting Reserve Pay Operations Reviews (RPOR) of unit and RPAC (RDs only) reserve pay operations. RDs will
coordinate RPORs through the unit’s GFC command or RD G1. RPORs are a critical tool in ensuring accurate and timely
payment of Soldiers and Army audit readiness. Units and RPACS must respond to all RPOR-related requests. RPOR results
are provided to the unit commander and GFC G8 and are recorded in the Automated Inspection Program database.
e. RDs only - conducting refresher training for UPAs on Reserve Pay procedures on behalf of USARC G-8. Generally,
each RD hosts at least one refresher workshop in, or outside, of its GAOR each FY.
4-3. Resolving pay inquiries - General
A pay inquiry is a question about a Soldier's pay requiring research to answer. All pay inquiries require a response within 48
hours of receipt of the inquiry, even if the answer is that further research is necessary.
a. All individuals involved in resolving inquiries will ensure they abide by Privacy Act requirements. Do not release
Soldier pay information to anyone other than the Soldier without written authorization from the Soldier or a valid power of
attorney.
b. Units, RPACs, CPMs, and UPCs will not release pay information via telephone to a Soldier without first validating that
the caller is the Soldier. Validation can be accomplished by asking a series of questions related to the Soldiers MMPA (date
of grade, PEBD, bank, tax withholding information, etc.).
4-4. Responsibility for resolving pay inquiries
a. Pay inquiries that cannot be resolved at the unit or RPAC must be forwarded through the Soldier's pay chain of
command starting with his/her unit.
b. Each GFC command establishes a pay chain of command and distributes it to their subordinate units. At a minimum,
the pay chain of command gives a point of contact and telephone numbers at the unit or RPAC, GFC command or RD and
USARC G-8. Units must ensure that the pay chain of command is posted on the unit bulletin board to inform Soldiers of the
proper steps to take to resolve a pay problem. A sample format for a pay chain of command flyer is shown at figure 4-1. Do
not include the UPC in your pay chain of command.
c. The majority of pay inquiries can be resolved by the unit or RPAC by reviewing the current MMPA, the ADARS and
RADARS files, and USAR Forms 26 submitted to the UPC. Many pay issues are related to erroneous data in the Soldiers
personnel record and require correction of personnel data before correction of the MMPA.
d. Soldiers may be able to answer their own questions by reviewing their LES in myPay. The myPay system allows
Soldiers to make changes to their pay account and view or print copies of LESs and
W
-2 forms on-line. The myPay website
is at https://mypay.dfas.mil/mypay.aspx.
Refer to paragraph 2-10 for additional information on myPay.
e. In most cases, the UPA, 1SG, or commander should have the knowledge and ability to resolve pay problems and
questions. If the pay issue/concern cannot be resolved at the unit or RPAC, forward the inquiry per paragraph 4-5, below.
46 USAR PAM 37-1 • 7 May 2018
4-5. Processing pay inquiries
a. Prepare a USAR Form 27, Pay Inquiry for all pay inquiries received. Using a USAR Form 27 will assist you in
tracking and monitoring the pay inquiries you receive. A Soldier may initiate a pay inquiry verbally or in writing.
b. If the Soldier is present at the unit to initiate the inquiry, he/she must complete section I of USAR Form
27
and
attach supporting documentation, if applicable. If the Soldier initiates the inquiry by telephone, mail or e-mail, the
unit or RPAC completes sections I and II of USAR Form 27.
c. The unit or RPAC must research the pay inquiry and attach copies of any substantiating documents that may resolve or
support the Soldier‘s pay inquiry to the USAR Form 27.
d. If the unit or RPAC can resolve the pay inquiry, annotate the action taken in section II (e.g., paid 20 Aug 13
or “no action required, pay is correct”), return the inquiry to the Soldier and advise him/her of your findings.
e. If the unit or RPAC cannot answer the pay inquiry, contact either the GFC command or RD CPM, depending on your
pay chain of command. Annotate the information obtained from the GFC command or RD in block 9 of the USAR Form 27,
return the inquiry to the Soldier and advise him/her of your findings.
f. The GFC command or RD will contact USARC G-8 when they cannot provide an answer.
g. If a response is not received from the GFC command or RD within 48 hours, contact USARC G-8. See
https://xtranet/Organization/DCGUSARC/CoS/Coordinating/DCSG-8/pay/Contacts/Forms/AllItems.aspx for USARC G-
8 contact information.
h. Units should not forward pay inquiries to the UPC; almost all inquiries can be resolved in the unit’s pay chain
of command. Units may be advised by their GFC, RD to forward documents to resolve an inquiry to the UPC. In
these cases, prepare a USAR Form 26. Enter the TL number in block 10 of the USAR Form 27. Forward the documents
and USAR Form 26 to the UPC. Return a copy of the USAR Form 27 to the Soldier and advise him/her that documents
were submitted to correct the problem.
4-6. Presidential, Congressional, Inspector General pay inquiries
Presidential, Congressional, and Inspector General pay inquiries differ from routine inquiries. These types of pay inquiries
are really complaints and must be given the highest priority for resolution by their suspense date. USAR G-8 responds to
pay-related Congressional inquiries received by the USARC and provides direction to GFC command congressional POCs
on their resolution.

Chapter 5
Collections
5-1. Collections of military pay and allowances
a. Debts incurred for military pay, allowances or bonuses result from erroneous payments, late submission of entitlement
changes and changes to a Soldier's status. Soldiers must be notified by the unit or UPC when they have incurred a debt of these
types. The Soldier does not have to be notified of a collection if less than 60 days have elapsed since an erroneous payment or if the
amount of the collection is $50 or less.
b. If more than 60 days have elapsed since an erroneous payment, take the following actions:
(1) Notify the Soldier with a USAR Form 28, Notice of Indebtedness. Explain the reason for the collection and the
collection amount. Advise the Soldier of his/her right to request accelerated or prorated collection (see para 5-8).
Additionally, advise the Soldier of his/her right to request a waiver or remission (see para 5-7).
(2) Assign a 30-day suspense date to the USAR Form 28.
(3) Upon receipt of the Soldiers response or expiration of the suspense date, prepare the documents indicated in
paragraphs 5-1b(1) or (2) above and forward the USAR Form 28 with any documents supporting the Soldiers request concerning
the collection to the UPC. The commander must complete section III of the USAR Form 28 if the Soldier requests proration. See
paragraph 5-8.
c. The unit must initiate collection action when a Soldier receives pay for IDT or active duty that they did not perform.
(1) Use ADARS to collect IDT periods paid through ADARS. Refer to the Reserve Pay Supplemental Guidance for
collection procedures. If the IDT period was not paid through ADARS, prepare a USAR Form 22, complete block 5 and
list
the IDT periods to collect and reasons for collection in block 20. Attach any substantiating documents and submit to the UPC
on a USAR Form 26.
(2) Use RADARS to collect active duty periods paid through RADARS. Refer to the Reserve Pay Supplemental Guidance
for collection procedures. If the active duty was not paid through RADARS, prepare a USAR Form 24, complete block 13 and list
the dates to collect and reason for collection in block 16. Attach any substantiating documents and submit to the UPC on a USAR
Form 26.
d. Collection of active duty pay will establish separate debts for base pay and allowances. Each debt is accounted for
independently on the Soldier’s MMPA until it is collected in full.
e. The debt amount for IDT or active duty pay collections will equal the gross amount of pay received on the original
payment.
f. DJMS-RC suspends debts over $100 for collection of entitlements or incentives for 90 days. The UPC can remove the
suspension if needed to adjust the Soldier’s account.
g. When a debt is established in the same year that the payment occurred, the taxes are adjusted with each debt payment
as follows:
(1) Federal, state and FICA wages year to date (YTD) are reduced by the amount of the debt payment.
(2) FICA tax is refunded with each base pay debt payment at the rate of 7.65% (5.65% for 2011 and 2012) of the
payment. This refund will occur on the next LES.
(3) Federal and state taxes are not refunded automatically. Units must request refund on a USAR Form 22. Refunds
can only occur when the debt is paid in full during the same year as the overpayment. Taxes cannot be refunded for previous
years. See paragraph 5-1h for prior year debts.
h. When a debt results from collection of a taxable payment made during a previous calendar year, there is not an
adjustment to the current year federal, state and FICA wages with each debt payment. Instead, the following occurs:
(1) At the end of the year, the Soldier will receive a tax certificate showing a credit for federal and state wages. The
Soldier can use this document to file an amended tax return for the prior year and receive a refund of the taxes.
(2) FICA tax withheld previously is refunded with each base pay debt payment at the rate of 7.65% (5.65% for 2011
and 2012) of the payment. This refund will be paid on the next LES. The Soldier will receive a tax certificate at the end of
the year showing collections made towards taxable debts This certificate can be filed with the Soldier’s tax return for the
current year to reduce federal taxable wages.
i. See figure 5-1 for an example of a debt.
5-2. Fines/forfeitures (Articles 15/Courts Martial)
a. Soldiers may request proration of fines except for fines resulting from an Article 15 or court martial.
b. When an Article 15 or court martial imposes fines on a Soldier, submit the substantiating documents with a USAR
Form 26 to the UPC.
c. If changes occur (e.g., erroneous collection, punishment set aside, etc.), submit the substantiating documents with a USAR
Form 26 to the UPC for adjustment.
5-3. DD Form 362 and DD Form 200
Submit signed DD Form 362, Statement of Charges/DD Form 1131, Cash Collection Voucher and approved DD Form 200,
Financial Liability Investigation of Property Loss with a USAR Form 26 to the UPC. Include a USAR Form 28 if the Soldier
requests proration (see para 5-8).
48 USAR PAM 37-1 • 7 May 2018
5-4. Debts to non-appropriated Fund (NAF) activities and other agencies
a. NAF Activity Debt Collections.
(1) The DFAS-IN, Army Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES), or the UPC may establish involuntary collections
against a Soldier to pay NAF debts. The indebtedness may have occurred from dishonored checks or delinquent accounts.
AAFES makes input to DJMS-RC to establish, change, or cancel debts. AAFES debts cause a remark on the Soldiers LES
containing an inquiry telephone number.
(2) The NAF activity is responsible for notifying the Soldier of the indebtedness. They may forward a letter through
the Soldier’s unit commander requesting assistance in collecting debts. The unit commander should assist the NAF activity in
obtaining a cash settlement from the Soldier. The Soldier should forward the cash settlement to the NAF activity.
(3) If cash settlement is not possible, inform the NAF activity to complete a DD Form 139, Pay Adjustment Authorization
and forward it to DFAS-IN, ATTN: General Processing Branch, Section III, Indianapolis, IN 46249-0001.
b. Debts to other US Government agencies.
(1) Other Government agencies may request collections from a Soldiers military income. The DFAS-IN initiates and
maintains these debts. They should notify the Soldier prior to making any collections. The Soldier must correspond directly
with the Government agency requesting the collection.
(2) Family SGLI premiums are generated from the Soldiers dependent data in DEERS. Soldier(s) must coordinate with
their GFC command DEERS representative to resolve Family SGLI collections.
5-5. Notice of Levy on Wages, Salary, and Other Income (IRS Form 668-W)
Units that receive an IRS Form 668-W, notice of levy for a Soldier should prepare a letter and return the levy to the IRS.
Indicate on the letter that the notice of levy should be mailed to DFAS-IN, ATTN: PMTCB-G, 8899 East 56th Street,
Indianapolis,
IN
46249-0875.
5-6. Court orders
A court order may be a garnishment or a judgment from civilian creditors. If a civilian court order is received at the Soldiers
unit, prepare a letter and return the court order to the court. Indicate on the letter that the court order should be mailed to
Defense Finance and Accounting Service Cleveland (DFAS-CL) Center, ATTN: Garnishment DFAS-CL/L, P.O. Box
998002, Cleveland, OH 44199-8002. The DFAS-CL makes the necessary input to the Soldiers account. No action is
required by the unit.
5-7. Request for remission and waiver of debts
a. This paragraph defines the difference between a waiver and remission of indebtedness. It also provides guidance for
application, submission, and processing of waiver, remission or cancellation of indebtedness to the US Army for TPU
Soldiers.
b. Reference. AR 37-104-4, Military Pay and Allowances Policy, chapter 32; AR 600-4, Remission or Cancellation of
Indebtedness.
c. Waiver of indebtedness.
(1) Waiver is the dismissal of the entire gross amount of an erroneous payment or allowance. If the waiver is
approved in full, any amounts collected from the Soldier prior to approval of the waiver are refunded.
(2) Waiver may be granted only when collection would be unjust and against the best interests of the United States. The
erroneous payment must have resulted from administrative error and there must not be any indication of
fraud,
misrepresentation,
fault, or lack of good faith on the part of the Soldier. Waiver is applicable to all ranks and duty statuses.
(3) Waiver action is a matter of special consideration, not necessarily justified by an erroneous payment, since a Soldier
should know when a payment is in error. Each Soldier has a duty to notify the pay chain of command of erroneous payments and
retain the overpayment for refund to the Government.
(4) Waiver determination will depend upon the facts, supporting documents, and circumstances existing in each case.
The waiver application must be received by the USAR Pay Management Division, (USAR PMD) within 5 years of the
discovery of the erroneous payment.
(5) Debts not considered for waiver:
(a) Lump sum leave payments required to be refunded upon re-employment in Federal Service, regular or
supplemental payments in excess of known earned entitlements caused by delays in pay actions, advance leave outstanding at
separation.

s the
portion of the indebtedness that was collected after the date the commander signed the DA Form 3508.
(5) Upon approval of an application, the approving authority makes the adjustment to cancel, remit the indebtedness,
or process the refund to the Soldier, as applicable. If the application is disapproved, the approving authority removes the

disposable pay each month.
(6) Applications that may be considered for waiver, remission, or cancellation should not be sent to the Army Board
for Correction of Military Records (ABCMR). However, a Soldier may apply to the ABCMR under AR
15
-185 for any debt
not eligible or approved by waiver, remission or cancellation.
i. Interest, Penalties, Administrative Costs.
(1) Title 31, United States Code (USC), Section 3717, Interest and Penalty on Claims and the “Federal Claims Collection
Standards” regulation authorize assessment of interest, penalty, and administrative costs on delinquent debts.
(2) The intent of interest is to stimulate prompt payment of debts and recover the cost to the Department of Treasury.
Penalty charges are assessed on any debt principal delinquent for more than 90 days. Administrative costs are assessed when
incurred in the processing and handling of delinquent debts.
USAR PAM 37-1 • 7 May 2018 51
(3) Debt collections, even those suspended or prorated, will accrue interest during the repayment process.
5-8. Proration requests
a. Debt collections are deducted from a Soldiers disposable pay. Disposable pay is the gross amount of the payment
reduced by allowances, federal, state, and FICA taxes, as well as SGLI (including FSGLI and Traumatic SGLI (TSGLI))
deductions. The standard collection rate is two-thirds of disposable pay. Collection at a higher rate is authorized for debts that
cannot be recovered at the lesser collection rate prior to a Soldiers expected separation date or within 3 years, whichever is
earlier.
b. Soldiers with debts for military pay may request a prorated collection rate when the standard rate would cause undue
financial hardship. The prorated collection rate is a whole dollar amount that is applied to each day of base pay. For
example, if a Soldier requests a proration amount of $5.00 per day, $20.00 will be withheld for a BA 4 or $70.00 for 14
days of active duty.
c. When reviewing proration requests, commanders must consider how many days of duty the Soldier will perform in the
future to ensure the rate of collection will satisfy the debt within the timeframes below. Soldiers who have a change in status
(reenlisted, mobilized, etc.) may request a new collection rate. Soldiers, who due to extreme financial hardship cannot repay a
debt within the timeframes below, should apply for remission of the debt. Proration requests must allow for full repayment of
the debt within 3 years of the first collection or the timeframes below, whichever is earlier.
(1) Completion of the Soldiers military service obligation (MSO) for all personnel.
(2) Completion of an enlisted Soldiers ETS date.
(3) An officer or warrant officers mandatory removal date (MRD).
(4) A Soldiers 60th birthday (all personnel).
(5) The Soldiers expected date of separation. For TPU enlisted Soldiers this date is their ETS and for officers, their
MRD.
d. Send proration requests to usarmy.usarc.usarc-hq.mbx.ardebtmngt@mail.mil. Include a USAR Form 28 and a copy of the
Soldier’s PQR. The Chief, USAR Pay Management Division, is the final approving authority for proration requests.
e. Soldiers with other types of debts, including travel, AAFES and Government Travel Card debts, must coordinate with
the debt originator for proration requests. The Soldiers LES will contain an inquiry phone number that the Soldier can call to
inquire about the debt. Penalties, interest and admin fees cannot be prorated.
5-9. Debt payment by personal check
a. While Soldiers may pay debts with a personal check, it is not advisable due to the difficulty in ensuring the payment is
recorded properly through DFAS Disbursing. Encourage the Soldier to allow the debt to collect from his/her pay. Soldiers
should be discouraged from mailing personal checks to the unit because of the risk in securing the check. Soldiers who insist
on paying their debt by personal check should send the check to the address in paragraph 5-9b.
b. If the unit receives a personal check from a Soldier for repayment of a debt, prepare a DA Form 200 and send it with
the check to the USAR Pay Management Division, Room, 135Z-1, 8899 E. 56th St., Indianapolis, IN 46249-1601. Include
the Soldier’s name, SSN, the check number, the purpose of the check (be specific as to the purpose of the payment, include
dates and reason for debt) in the remarks section of DA Form 200. Include documentation of the debt (e.g., a copy of the
MMPA or LES showing the debt). Place the check in a sealed envelope and staple the envelope to the DA Form 200. Do
not fold or staple through the check.
c. Personal checks for payments disbursed by DFAS-IN should be made payable to US Treasury. If payment was made
by other than DFAS-IN, contact the paying agency for repayment instructions.
5-10. Debts for Soldiers who have transferred or separated
a. For debts discovered after a Soldier transfers to another unit, or within 1 year of separation, submit a USAR Form 22 for
non-active duty or a USAR Form 24 for active duty debts to the UPC for processing. DD Form 362 for Government Property
Lost, Damaged or Destroyed should also be sent to the UPC.
b. For other types of debts discovered or debts received more than 1 year after a Soldier separates, contact the PMD at
usarmy.usarc.usarc-hq.mbx.ardebtmngt@mail.mil for guidance.
c. MMPAs for separated Soldiers remain on DJMS-RC for a minimum of 1 year to allow for corrections. Debts for separated
Soldiers transfer to DFAS-IN for collection 90 days after the date of separation. For example, if a Soldier is separated on 1 June
2013, any pending debts will transfer to DFAS-IN on 1 September 2013. If an account is separated in June 2013 with an effective
date prior to March 2013 all debts will transfer to DFAS-IN immediately.
5-11 Lump sum payments for accrued leave and bonuses
Soldiers entitled to a lump sum payment who have an outstanding debt for military pay, allowances, incentives or government
property will have their collection rate accelerated to 100% to reduce their indebtedness to the Government. The collection rate
will be reset to two-thirds or the approved proration amount after collection of the lump sum payment occurs.
5-12 Adjustment to TSP contributions to assist in debt collection
a. DoDFMR Volume 7A, Chapter 52 allows adjusting the percentage of pay going to a Soldier’s TSP account in order to
satisfy debts to the Government.
52 USAR PAM 37-1 • 7 May 2018
b. TSP rates will be adjusted if the amount of pay after normal deductions and TSP contributions will not allow for
repayment of the debt within the timeframes prescribed in paragraph 5-8. Soldiers can resume their prior TSP contribution
amount once all debts are collected in full.

Miscellaneous Actions
6-1. Transfers to AGR
a. Soldiers on AGR tours are paid by DJMS-AC.
b. Soldiers entering on an AGR tour are transferred to the USAR Control Group (AGR). They are brought on their AGR
tour by an order published by HRC. The order transferring the Soldier to the AGR tour will process through TAPDB-R and
create a separation transaction in DJMS-RC.
c. When a Soldier with a bonus enters an AGR tour, their bonus is terminated without recoupment (if they served a
minimum of one day of their current contract). If their bonus was erroneously terminated with recoupment, the Soldier’s unit
must submit a USAR Form 23 requesting the correction to terminate without recoupment. The unit must also attach a copy of
the order transferring the Soldier to the Control Group and the AGR order.
6-2. Accrued Leave
Accrued leave is earned for continuous active duty periods, including back-to-back orders (continuous
duty), totaling 30 days or
more. Soldiers that do not use all the leave accrued during a tour of active duty ending on 30 September 2011 or later may request
payment or carryover of all or a portion of the unused leave to a future period of active service of 30 days or more. This is true
regardless of whether there is a break between active duty periods. Soldiers may carry over up to 60 days of annual accrued
leave.
a. Soldiers are limited to a maximum payment of 60 days accrued leave during their career. The 60-day leave
payment limitation does not apply to leave accrued after 30 September 2001 while serving on active duty periods
(AGR, AT, ADT, ADOS or ADOS-RC) tours totaling 31 to 365 days in duration or to contingency operations of any
duration.
b. Accrued leave payments should be processed within 60 days of the end date of the active duty period by the UPC or
Defense Accounting Office (DAO)/DMPO that provided pay support to the Soldier. If the DAO/DMPO does
not pay the
accrued leave, submit request for payment to the UPC. Submit all applicable active duty orders, a USAR Form 24, DD Form
214 and DA
Forms 31. If the DD Form 214 is not available, the UPA should so state on the USAR Form 24.
USAR PAM 37-1 • 7 May 2018 53
c. Before the UPC or DAO/DMPO can process an accrued leave payment, the Soldier’s MMPA must have an “X” in the
FI-
IND field (Section 5, MMPA). See paragraph 2-9p (3) for procedures to update the FI-IND field.
d. Procedures for requesting carryover of leave at time of REFRAD.
(1) Orders paid by UPC - no action is required at REFRAD for Soldiers desiring to carryover all leave accrued to a
future duty period of 30 or more days. All unused and unpaid accrued leave will be available for carryover the next time the
Soldier begins an active duty tour of 30 or more days. Soldiers requesting payment of a portion of their accrued leave at
REFRAD and carryover of the remainder should submit a request for payment within 90 days of REFRAD, to the UPC. See
paragraph 6-2b for document requirements. Annotate the number of days leave requested for payment in block 15 of USAR Form
24. Enter a statement in block 16 requesting carryover of the remaining accrued leave and the number of days to carryover.
(2) Orders paid by a DMPO or Army Finance office requests for carryover of leave are processed IAW local
procedures.
e. Procedures for requesting carryover of leave accrued previously upon beginning a new active duty period of 30 or more
days.
(1) Orders paid by UPC - Submit active duty orders and a DA Form 4187 or USAR Form 24 to the UPC to request
carryover leave. Section IV of the DA 4187 or section 16 of the USAR 24 must contain a statement requesting carryover of
accrued leave and the number of days to carryover. The UPC will require verification of the number of days requested when the
number is less than the total accrued leave days recorded in DJMS-RC.
(2) Orders paid by a DMPO or Army Finance office requests for carryover of leave are processed IAW local
procedures.
f. Soldiers with carryover leave remaining upon entering one of the statuses below may receive payment for the
leave. Carryover leave will be forfeited if the Soldier is discharged under other than honorable conditions. Submit a
copy of the appropriate order and USAR Form 24 to initiate payment. Indicate in block 15 of USAR Form 24 that
request is for payment of remaining accrued leave. DFAS will initiate payment of remaining leave for deceased
Soldiers.
(1) Discharge.
(2) Transfer to the IRR.

Chapter 7
Mobilization
Section I
Conceptual Overview
7-1. General
a. This chapter provides guidance for Reserve pay administration of TPUs and Soldiers ordered to active federal military
service.
b. Reserve pay procedures for mobilization are contained in the Finance Mobilization and Demobilization Standard
Operating Procedures (SOP) at
https://xtranet/Organization/DCGUSARC/CoS/Coordinating/DCSG-8/pay/References/Forms/Refs.aspx. This chapter
provides additional reserve pay mobilization information.
c. This chapter specifies finance tasks to accomplish during each phase of mobilization.
7-2. Tasks and responsibilities
a. Phase I (Planning). Financial readiness begins at the unit. In this phase, units ensure that all pay accounts reflect the
Soldier's current status and that all pay entitlements are paid in an accurate and timely manner.
(1) Units
(a) Complete Soldier Readiness Processing (SRP) I finance tasks to include Phase I tasks listed in the Finance Mobilization
and Demobilization SOP at https://xtranet/Organization/DCGUSARC/CoS/Coordinating/DCSG-
56 USAR PAM 37-1 • 7 May 2018
8/pay/References/Forms/Refs.aspx,
(b) Take appropriate actions to resolve pay issues.
(c) Ensure that finance documents required by Annex E of the Finance Mobilization and Demobilization SOP are loaded in
to the iPERMS mobilization/deployment folders.
(2) RD/GFC commands conduct Reserve Pay Operations Reviews of each unit within the Army Force Generation
(ARFORGEN) ready pool.
b. Phase II (Alert). Units
(1) Provide pay support to all Soldiers mobilized in a derivative UIC, including cross-leveled Soldiers and Soldiers
assigned from the IRR for mobilization.
(2) Provide copies of the Finance Guide for USAR Soldiers available on the USARC SharePoint site at
https://xtranet/Organization/DCGUSARC/CoS/Coordinating/DCSG-8/pay/References/Forms/Refs.aspx.
c. Phase III (Home Station Processing).
(1) Units -
(a)
Use the RADARS Automated Mobilization Transactions module of RLAS to start mobilization pay entitlements. Units
and RPACs must assign the RADARS Mobilization TL number NLT the Home Station (HS) report date. Most units report to the
Mobilization Station (MS) within 3 days of reporting to HS. Units/RPACs must assign the mobilization TL on the HS report date
to allow time for the transactions to post in DJMS-RC and be visible to the MS finance office. The MS will input all the
transactions again if the RLAS transactions are not visible in DJMS-RC when Soldiers begin finance processing at the Soldier
Readiness Center (SRC). This delays processing through the SRC, creates unnecessary workload for the MS finance office and
may delay the Soldier’s first payment. The commander must verify the presence of each mobilizing Soldier at home station prior to
the UPA assigning a TL in RADARS. The mobilization station will start or stop pay for Soldiers added or deleted from the
mobilization roster after assignment of the RADARS Mobilization TL number. Refer to the Reserve Pay Supplemental Guidance
at https://xtranet/Organization/DCGUSARC/CoS/Coordinating/DCSG-8/pay/References/Forms/Refs.aspx for instructions on
using the RADARS Automated Mobilization Transactions module.
(b)
For individual mobilization orders published in DAMPS the unit/RPAC must e-mail the documents below to the
servicing pay team at the UPC NLT COB of the HS report date:
(1) USAR Form 26. Check “Mobilization Data” in the “Handling Information” section of the USAR 26. Pay team e-mail
addresses are in appendix C, table C-1.
(2) DAMPS individual mobilization orders.
(3) DD Form 1561, Statement to Substantiate Payment of Family Separation Allowance (FSA) for Soldiers entitled to
Family Separation Allowance.
(4) RLAS DA Form 5960 for Soldiers requiring a change to the current BAH information on their MMPA. The DA Form
5960 must be created in RLAS.
(5) DA Form 4187 for Soldiers entitled to CONUS COLA.
(6) Any other documents necessary to correct errors on a Soldier’s MMPA.
(7) Amendments to curtail the orders of any mobilizing Soldier currently on active duty in another status.
(8) Soldiers mobilized on DAMPS orders will have a Pay Status (PS) code of “Z” on their MMPA and the UCPMR.
(c)
Review the RADARS Past Due Orders and RADARS Duty Certification Suspense Reports and process any outstanding
active duty orders or duty certifications.
(d)
Advise the RD/GFC command of finance tasks that may not be completed as of the reporting date to the MS.
(e)
Prepare and submit DTS or DD From 1351-2 Travel Vouchers for Soldiers on AT/ADT/ADOS-RC during the Alert

7-4. Unit commander's responsibility
a. Mobilized units must continue to review the UCPMR to ensure correct payment of Soldiers. Deployed units can access the
UCPMR via RLAS or coordinate with the GFC command or RD to receive the report monthly. See appendix I for UCPMR
review procedures.
b. Commanders and UPAs are required to review and validate the information contained in the monthly report. The report
is tailored to Reserve duty, but at a minimum, units should validate the Pay Status code and performance data to ensure the proper
Soldiers are receiving mobilization pay. Refer to appendix I for a detailed explanation of the various sections and data fields
contained in this report.
c. Perform a thorough review of the first UCPMR received after demobilization. To prevent erroneous payments, ensure that
the pay status code was changed to “A for all Soldiers who were REFRAD. Contact the UPC Ombudsman team at

Appendix F
Travel
Section I
General
F-1. Purpose
This appendix provides basic information on travel allowances and procedures for filing travel claims for
reimbursement of expenses incurred by USAR TPU Soldiers.
F-2. References
The Joint Travel Regulation (JTR) contains the basic statutory regulations concerning travel and transportation allowances for
members of the uniformed services, including the RC. See http://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/site/travelreg.cfm to access the JTR.
F-3. Travel entitlements
All Soldiers ordered to travel to a temporary duty location are entitled to travel and transportation allowances under JTR, chapters
3 and 4. The per diem rate consists of a maximum amount allowed for lodging, meals and a flat Incidental Expense (IE) rate. Per
Diem rates are determined by the availability of government lodging and meals, duration and type of duty and duty location. See
http://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/ for per diem rates.
Soldiers may be entitled to one or more of the following while TDY:
a. Mileage reimbursement.
b. Per Diem (meals and lodging).
c. Reimbursement for other authorized expenses (rental car, parking, etc.) as prescribed in Appendix G of the JTR.
F-4. Importance of travel orders
Except for local travel, Soldiers must be under valid orders to travel. The purpose of the duty determines the type of order.
a. Orders for AT or ADT that are for 139 days or less are considered TDY. ADT of 140 or more days in one location is a
permanent change of station (PCS). Commands may not override PCS entitlements without a Secretarial waiver.
b. Orders for ADOS, ADOS-RC, CO-ADOS or Temporary Change of Station (TCS) for 180 days or less are considered
TDY. Periods of 181 or more days in one location are a PCS. Commands may not override PCS entitlements without a
Secretarial waiver.
c. Orders must be accurate and contain valid entitlement information. Fund managers are responsible for confirming the
validity of additional instructions on orders.
d. Orders must state whether the Soldier is or is not a Government travel charge card (GTCC) holder IAW DODFMR,
Volume 9, paragraph 030503.A. If the Soldier is a GTCC holder, orders must contain a statement indicating whether the
Soldier is exempt from the “mandatory use” provision of the Travel and Transportation Reform Act (TTRA), IAW
DODFMR, Volume 9, paragraph 030503.B. This statement also authorizes alternative payment methods. Travel orders
should also have a statement indicating that GTCC holders shall obtain cash (as authorized) through automated teller
machines rather than obtaining cash advances from a DOD disbursing officer, IAW DODFMR, Volume 9, paragraph
030503.C.
e. Soldiers using the Defense Travel System (DTS), (to include all Soldiers deployed to a non-combat, non-hazardous
duty location) to create travel authorizations will contact their local DTS Defense Travel Administrator for guidance. DTS
procedures are on the DTS website at: http://www.defensetravel.osd.mil/dts/site/index.jsp.
f. Personnel can access the DTS Document Processing Manual for instructions on creating authorizations at
http://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/site/trainingRef.cfm.
F-5. AT/ADT/ADOS-RC TDY Allowances
The following travel allowances apply to travel performed on individual AT, ADT orders of 1-139 days and ADOS-RC orders of
1-180 days. See paragraphs F-6 F-9 for travel allowances payable for other types of travel.
a. Lodging portion of per diem.
(1) Not payable when duty is inside commuting distance or an overnight stay is not required.
(2) Not payable when government quarters or contracted lodging are provided without a cost to the Soldier.
(3) Payable when duty is not within commuting distance and
(a) government quarters are available and directed. Reimbursement for cost of government quarters is authorized not to
exceed the maximum lodging rate for the TDY location.
(b) government quarters are available, but not directed. Soldiers may choose to use commercial lodging. Reimbursement
is limited to the government quarters lodging rate if commercial lodging is used without a statement of non-availability of
government quarters.
(c) government quarters are not available or directed. Reimbursement is limited to the actual lodging cost incurred not to

b. Incidental Expense (IE) portion of per diem. The IE rate is a daily flat rate of $5 for CONUS and $3.50 for OCONUS
94 USAR PAM 37-1 • 7 May 2018
travel. The IE is payable for duty outside commuting distance except when duty is under field conditions. Unit AT is
generally considered duty under field conditions.
c. Meal portion of per diem. Meal rates are determined by the availability of government meals, quarters and duty location.
(1) Meals are not payable when duty is inside commuting distance or duty is less than 12 hours. 75% of the per diem rate
for the duty location is paid for duty periods of more than 12 but less than 24 hours.
(2) The following meal rates are payable for duty outside commuting distance:
(a) Full Meal Rate (FMR). Payable when government meals are not available or directed. The FMR equals 100% of the
meal rate authorized for the duty location + the Incidental Expense (IE). 75% of the meals and IE (M&IE) rate for the duty
location is paid for the first and last day of duty.
(b) Government Meal Rate (GMR). Payable when government meals are available at additional cost. This rate is payable
to Soldiers who purchase meals in a government dining facility or other government source. The GMR normally changes on 1
Jan of each year. 75% of the M&IE rate for the duty location is paid for the first and last day of duty.
(c) Proportional Meal Rate (PMR). Payable when government quarters and only 1 or 2 government meals are available
daily. The PMR is equal to the (FMR + GMR) / 2) + IE rounded up to the next full dollar amount. 75% of the M&IE rate for
the duty location is paid for the first and last day of duty.
(d) Deductible Meals. Deductible meals are meals provided without charge to the Soldier but at a cost to the government.
Soldiers must indicate the number of deductible meals consumed on the travel voucher. Examples of deductible meals are
meals provided without charge in a DFAC, meals included in a registration fee, and meals included in the cost of a room.
MREs are not deductible meals unless they are the only meals available. Meals provided without charge by lodging facilities
or on an aircraft are not deductible meals. The PMR is paid on days when 1 or 2 deductible meals are available.
(3) Soldiers on individual orders outside commuting distance (for other than unit AT) are in a per diem status and
authorized M&IE. When meals are provided without cost, only the IE is payable. Additional instructions are required on the
active duty order to prevent both collection of BAS and withholding of the IE payment. See the guidance for using additional
instruction 14 (government meals are available and directed at no additional cost to Soldier) in Chapter 8 of the Reserve Pay
Supplemental Guidance.
(4) For unit AT, per diem is not payable when government quarters and meals are provided at no cost. 75% of the M&IE
rate for the duty location is paid for the first and last day of duty. BAS is collected at the discount meal rate.
d. Mileage.
(1) Payable when duty is outside commuting distance; normally paid through DTS. Process mileage payments for duty
inside commuting distance, outside corporate limits in RLAS.
(2) Soldiers authorized to travel by Privately Owned Conveyance (POC) as more advantageous to the government are
authorized per diem for days of travel. Travel days are determined by dividing the official distance to the TDY location (as
determined by the DOD Official Table of Distances) by 350. Add one day for partial distances exceeding 51 miles.
(3) Soldiers authorized to travel by POC are limited to the constructive cost by commercial carrier not to exceed the cost
to travel by government-contracted air fare to the TDY location. The constructive cost includes airfare, taxes and Commercial
Travel Office fee.
(4) Soldiers traveling by commercial transportation are authorized mileage to and from the transportation terminal.
(5) For unit AT, mileage is payable to Soldiers residing outside commuting distance of the rendezvous point or authorized
POC travel to the AT location. Process mileage payments in DTS.

distance of the Reserve unit. Commuting distance is determined by the senior commander in the area. Per Diem is not
payable.
b. Per Diem and mileage are payable for TDY performed in an IDT status. Mileage is limited as follows:
(1) For travel from home to the TDY location, mileage reimbursement is limited to the lesser of the distance from home,
or the unit to the TDY location.
(2) For travel from an alternate location to the TDY location, mileage reimbursement is limited to the distance from either
the alternate location to the TDY location or the unit to the TDY location, whichever is less.
c. Submit travel claims via DTS.
F-7. Funeral Honors Duty (FHD) TDY Allowances
Soldiers performing FHD at a location more than 50 miles from their residence are authorized per diem and transportation
allowances in the same manner as a Soldier performing TDY in an active duty status. Submit travel claims via DTS.

Travel Pay Procedures
F-11. Processing travel claims
a. TDY.
(1) See the DTS website at: http://www.defensetravel.osd.mil/dts/site/index.jsp for guidance on using DTS to process
travel vouchers.
(2) TPU Soldiers assigned to commands that have not mandated use of DTS shall submit claims for TDY using a
DD Form 1351-2. See paragraph F-12 for travel voucher preparation procedures. See
http://www.dfas.mil/militarymembers/travelpay/armyactivetdy/howto.html for additional information on preparing
DD Form 1351-2.
b. Unit Annual Training special requirements. Use DTS to process travel entitlements for Soldiers residing
outside commuting distance from the rendezvous point or authorized to travel by POC to the training site. When
creating the DTS authorization, adjust the per diem entitlements to state “Field Conditions” and “Annual Training
(Quarters and Meals Available)” under duty conditions. This action will authorize 75% of MI&E for the first and last
day of the AT and prevent payment of per diem for the days in between.
c. Local travel (orders not issued). All Soldiers assigned to commands that have not mandated use of DTS submit
claims for local travel (non-TDY, no orders published) using SF 1164. See DFAS-IN Regulation 37-1, Chapter 10,
paragraph 100502.
(1) Complete SF 1164, to include listing expenses, and submit to the approving official.
(2) Forward original and two copies of the signed/approved SF 1164 to DFAS Travel Pay Services, ATTN: Dept. 3700,

JTR, Chapter 4, part C, paragraph U4300. AEA may be authorized before travel begins or approved after travel has been
performed (except for an AEA under JTR, para U4335, which may only be authorized in advance). Because AEA is not
guaranteed, every attempt should be made to find lodging within the allowed per diem rates.
b. When authorized in advance of the travel, the AEA for a specific travel assignment shall be stated in the travel order. An
AEA may be authorized/approved for the entire period of a trip (including travel time or, when appropriate, per diem) or for
different portions of trips. This can occur when there is a relatively long period of travel or several localities in a single
itinerary.
c. The GFC Command G8 is the approval authority for AEA requests. The AEA request must identify Soldiers
authorized AEA.
d. AEA requests should contain as much of the following relevant data as possible. If any of the following data is not
applicable, state so in the AEA request.
(1) The reason for travel.
(2) Whether meetings with technical, professional, or scientific organizations are involved.
(3) Whether international conferences or meetings are involved.
(4) Identification of the senior member of the party, whether civilian or military, including grade, full name, SSN, and
branch of Service.

(6) Roster of other employees or members of the uniformed services who also are performing the travel or TDY involved,
including grade, full name, SSN, and branch of service.
(7) Proposed itinerary showing complete identification of places to be visited, the length of duty at each location, and the
inclusive dates of travel.
(8) Information regarding any special arrangements such as provisions for use of special Government quarters, messes,
open messes, lodgings, restaurants, etc.
(9) Information available indicating the projected amount of expenses, amount of allowances necessary, or reasons
why normal per diem will not suffice.
(10) Reasons why normal accommodations with prescribed per diem allowances will not suffice.
(11) The name and phone number of the individual to contact concerning the request.
e. Each request for approval of AEA subsequent to the completion of travel must be accompanied by a copy of DD Form
1351-3 Statement of Actual Expenses, or a detailed statement otherwise providing dates, locations, identification of expenses, and
amounts paid.
f. At a minimum, the AEA request should include the following:

(2) SSN
(3) Duty Dates
(4) Amount Paid Per Night
(5) City, State, and Hotel
(6) Justification for higher rate or number of hotels checked
(7) Contact information for the claimant, including fax number and/or e-mail address for the claimant

cannot be found within per diem, the Soldier may be entitled to AEA. Current per diem rates are available on the Internet at
http://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/site/perdiemCalc.cfm
h. Send AEA requests to the designated authorizing official at the GFC Command G-8. The GFC Command G-8
determines the validity of the request and then prepares a memorandum approving or denying the request.
i. The DTS Approving Official can approve payment of actual lodging costs on the per diem page of the
authorization or voucher.

Description
The calendar consists of 12 months (current and 11 previous months). To the left of the page is each month. Across the top
are the days, 1-31. Two codes reflect under the applicable day(s) representing the drill type(s) (see below) paid to the
Soldier. Because the Soldier can perform one or two drill periods per day, zero (0) is used to denote no duty performance for
a period. For example, a Soldier who performed an RST in the AM and no duty in the PM will reflect 20 under the day of
duty. 22 would reflect if the Soldier performed RST for both the AM and PM periods these codes post to the calendar
whenever payments are made and codes also delete when collections occur.
The codes
used in the calendar are:
Blank = No Performance Reported
0 = No IDT performance for portion of a day
2 = BA (Battle Assembly or RST)
3 = AFTP (Additional Flight Training Period)
8 = FHD (Funeral Honors Duty)
A = ATA (Additional Training Assembly)
B = BA and JUMP proficiency (ARNG only)
C = AABA (Additional Airborne Battle Assemblies)
D = AANT (Additional Assemblies for Nuclear Training)
E = RMA (Readiness Management Assemblies) (ARNG only)
F = ATA - Individual Use/Other (ARNG only)
H = RMA or RMA-Management Support (used for Medical/Dental drills)
K = ET (Equivalent Training)
L = Excess Leave
10 = Incapacitation Pay
50 = Active duty pay for the day
60 = The 31st day of a 31-day month and Soldier on active duty tour which crosses the end of a month
99 = Nonexistent Day
Figure G-7. MMPA Readers Guide Section 7. “Calendar Data
114 USAR PAM 37-1 • 7 May 2018
Example of calendar entries are:
BA first period of the day, ET second period = 2K.
FHD first period, no duty performance second period = 80.
No performance first period, RMA second period = 0H.
Active duty performance = 50.
.5 Day of Excess Leave = L5.
[NOTE: The calendar always shows January through December in the same order. As an example, you are in October
2016 processing month. The calendar would show January through October 2016 and November through December 2015.]
To the right of the calendar are three columns, which are:

Appendix H
Leave and Earnings Statements (LESs)
H-1. Issuance of LESs
The DJMS-RC produces an LES in most cases when there is activity with a Soldier’s account (e.g., payment and/or
administrative changes). Not all administrative changes generate an LES. Administrative changes are annotated in the
REMARKS section of the LES. Soldiers who have not performed any duty will have an LES generated once a month for an
SGLI debt.
H-2. Viewing and printing LESs
Soldiers can access their LES in myPay. Soldiers who access their LES via myPay will not receive a hard copy LES unless
they select the option in myPay to receive both an electronic and hard copy LES.
H-3. Soldier's responsibilities
Soldiers should review and save each LES for future inquiries and financial or personnel actions.
H-4. LES history request
a. Current and separated Soldiers can request LESs using DFAS self-help tools. Refer to chapter 6 Miscellaneous Actions
paragraph 6-9 requesting an LES copy.
b. Soldiers must use myPay to access LESs for the current and 11 previous months.
H-5. LES by section

Appendix I
Unit Commanders Pay Management Report (UCPMR) (UH022-2004)
Section I
General
I-1. Overview
The UCPMR is the most important unit-level internal control report produced by DJMS-RC and a key control for military pay
Audit Readiness. Proper reconciliation and certification of the report is an inspectable item during SAVs, OIPs, Internal Review
(IR) and Inspector General special audits , audits of military pay audit readiness conducted by Independent Public Auditors and ad
hoc checks by the USARC G-8 Pay Management Division (PMD) and the RD Finance Divisions. The report is sorted
alphabetically and gives a one-line rollup of each Soldiers pay data for the current and 11 previous months. It provides UPAs and
commanders with information on key pay items such as Soldiers who
a. Have a pay account established on DJMS-RC.
b. Are mobilized or on any other type of active duty of more than 30 days.
c. Have SGLI and Family SGLI coverage.
d. Are due a bonus installment payment this month, next month, or have a past due bonus.
e. Are not on direct deposit (SURE PAY).
f. Have a debt on their pay account.
g. Are potential unsatisfactory participants.
h. Are in Held Pay Status.
I-2. Accessing the UCPMR
a. The USARC G-8 PMD normally receives the reports from DFAS by the fifth day of the following month. The G-8 PMD
uploads the reports in to the RLAS RM module and notifies units via a pay message when the reports are available. The G-8 PMD
message establishes a suspense date for reconciliation and certification. The suspense date is 30 days from the date the G -8
uploads the UCPMRs in to RLAS.
b. See chapter 6 of the Reserve Pay Supplemental Guide (RPSG) for instructions on accessing the UCPMR in RLAS. The
RPSG is available on the G-8 PMD SharePoint site at https://xtranet/Organization/DCGUSARC/CoS/Coordinating/DCSG-
8/pay/References/Forms/Refs.aspx.
b. There are flaws in the DFAS process for generating unit pay reports that result in some units not receiving their UCPMR
each month. Upon receiving G-8 notification that the UCPMR is available in RLAS, units who cannot locate their UCPMR in
RLAS must contact their RD. The RDs can retrieve the UCPMR from an alternate system that units cannot access due to PII
vulnerability. Absence of the UCPMR in RLAS does not excuse a unit from monthly reconciliation and certification of the UCPMR.
I-3. Reconciling of the UCPMR
a . The UPA or RPAC must identify errors on the UCPMR and submit corrective actions through RLAS or the UPC, as appropriate.
Use paragraph I-6 and the UCPMR Reconciliation Checklist at figure I-8 to ensure proper reconciliation of the UCPMR. Annotate
corrective actions taken on the UCPMR, to include the transmittal letter number used for actions submitted to the UPC. For example,
after contacting a Soldier who was not on direct deposit your remark might be: ‘Soldier started direct deposit in myPay 5 Dec 15” or
“SF 1199A submitted 5 Dec 15, TL 059-012”. Keep in mind that the UCPMR is produced on or about the twenty-third of each month
and may not reflect pay actions submitted after the sixteenth of the month.
b. The UPA/RPAC will provide the reconciled UCPMR to the unit commander or alternate certifying officer for review and
certification.
I-4. Commander Certification of the UCPMR
a. Unit commanders will ensure that the UPA or RPAC took appropriate corrective actions to reconcile the UCPMR and
will certify the UCPMR prior to the G-8 suspense date. Commanders should pay special attention to:
(1) Soldiers still on UCPMR after separation or transfer to the IRR, another TPU, AGR, or another Component. AGRs with
TPU bonuses will remain on DJMS-RC.
(2) Soldiers attending IADT whose pay status code has not been changed to “W.” This is an indicator that they are not receiving
active duty pay.
(3) Demobilized Soldiers whose pay status code is still “O.” These Soldiers are still receiving active duty pay.
(4) Soldiers with past due bonuses.
(5) Soldiers with large debts, (is debt valid and/or causing financial hardship for the Soldier?).
(6) Soldiers who are not on SURE PAY. Direct deposit is mandatory for all Soldiers other than those who have not attended
IET.
(7) Soldiers that have not been paid for any active or inactive duty training in the past 90 days. These are potential
unsatisfactory participants.
(8) Soldiers in Held Pay status. These are Soldiers whose pay was returned due to a closed bank account.
USAR PAM 37-1 • 7 May 2018 127
c. After verifying the UPAs or RPACs actions with the UCPMR, the commander, or an alternate certifying officer must sign
and date the UCPMR on the bottom of the last page. The commander or alternate certifying officer must sign NLT the G-8
suspense date established for the current report. See paragraph 1-11 for alternate certifying officer requirements. The signature
will include the commander’s signature block.
I-5. Retention of the UCPMR. Units and RPACs with retain the reconciled and certified UCPMR IAW paragraph K-5.
Specifically, retain the UCPMR by month in ARIMS file RN: 1100B Finance 6+.

b. PERFORMANCE DATA (Current month by type). Lists the number of drills, active duty days (type 50), and
Incapacitation Pay days (type 10) paid during the report month. Note that duty from a prior month may be paid during the
report month, so this section does not necessarily reflect duty paid for the current month only. The number of drills under each
drill code also relates to the Soldier and not the unit. Drills paid for duty with a previous unit during the month
wil
l be included
in the Soldiers totals. Soldiers who were paid for drills by the Army National Guard during the report month prior to
transferring to the USAR may have one or more of the ARNG specific drill codes in paragraph I-7a, above. The UNIT
TOTALS at the end of this subsection show the total number of drill periods and active duty and incapacitation days paid for
the current month.
c. PERFORMANCE DATA (This FY by type). Lists the number of drills, active duty days (type 50), and Incapacitation Pay
(type 10) days paid during the current FY. The UNIT TOTALS at the end of this subsection show the total number of drill periods
and active duty and incapacitation days paid for the FY. This section should be reviewed carefully in August to identify Soldiers
that may exceed FY drill limits.
I-8. Section 3. Bonus payment data
This section lists bonus information for each Soldier in your unit that has an active bonus on their MMPA. Soldiers are listed
alphabetically. An example of Section 3 is at figure I-3. There are nine data fields in addition to the Soldier’s name and
SSN; they are:
a. TYPE BONUS. Bonuses are identified by the following numeric codes:
03 = Non-Prior Service Enlistment Bonus.
05 = Reenlistment for 3, 4, or 5 years.
05 = Prior Service Enlistment for 3, 4, or 5 years.
06 = 6-year Reenlistment Bonus. Soldier must have less than 20 years total service on date of reenlistment.
06 = 6-year Prior Service Enlistment Bonus.
08 = Enlisted Affiliation Bonus. More than 18 months. (After 23 February 2006, the Soldier must contract for either
3 or 6 years.)
AB = Officer Affiliation bonus.
AC = Officer Accession bonus.
No code for Officer Critical Skills Retention bonus.
No code for Enlisted Critical Skills Retention bonus.
0J = 3 year Nurse Retention Bonus
0L = 2 year Doctor Retention bonus
0M = 3 year Doctor Retention bonus
0N = Civilian Acquired Skills bonus.
0P = Reserve Associate Support Program.
b. PS IND. An “X” in this column indicates that the Soldier is receiving a Prior Service Enlistment bonus (type 5 or 6).
c. ASFC/NEC/MOS. The MOS for which the Soldier is receiving a bonus. Review Soldiers performing duty in a
different MOS to determine if termination of their bonus is required (see AR 601-210).
d. BONUS STATUS CD/DATE. The current status of the bonus and effective date:
A = Active Account.
I = Inactive: an active account that has not had a payment made yet.
R = Terminated with recoupment.
S = Suspended.
T = Terminated with no recoupment.
Z = Paid in full.
[NOTE: The status code date will be shown for BONUS STATUS CODES R, S, T, and Z and will correspondingly be the date
of recoupment, suspension, termination, or the final payment date.]
e. FINAL PYM IDC (Final Payment Indicator). An X” in this column indicates that the Soldier has received the final
payment of his/her bonus.
f. ENL/REENL/AFFIL DATE-NO MO AFFIL. Date Soldier enlisted, reenlisted, or affiliated for the bonus, and for
affiliation bonuses, the number of months the Soldier affiliated.
g. TOT AMT PAID. The total amount of bonus payments made to the Soldier to date.
h. PAST DUE PAYMENTS. Bonus payments more than 30 days past due (if more than one payment is past due, all will be
listed).
i. PAST DUE DATE. The date the Soldier was entitled to an overdue payment.
j. PAYMENT NEXT MONTH. The amount of a bonus payment due within next 60 days.
k. DATE DUE NEXT MONTH. The date a bonus payment is due in the next 60 days.
l. BONUS TOTALS. The total number of each bonus type for the unit.

I-9. Section 4. Reenlistment data
a. This section lists Soldiers due to separate within the 2 months following the report month. An example of Section 4 is at
figure I-4.
b. DATE DUE TO SEP is the Soldiers ETS date from his/her MMPA.
c. Provide a copy of this section to the unit retention NCO.
I-10. Section 5. Collection data
a. This section identifies Soldiers with a debt on their MMPA. An example of Section 5 is at figure I-5.
b. There are five data fields in addition to the Soldier’s name, they are:
(1) BEGINNING BAL. The amount of debt the Soldier had at the start of the report period.
(2) AMT/PAID REDU. The amount collected from the Soldiers pay towards the debt during the report period.
(3) AMT ADD. The amount of new debt incurred during the report period.
(4) AMT DEBT REMAINING. The debt balance as of the end of the report period.
(5) DEBT AMT SUSPENDED. Amount of debt suspended automatically by DJMS-RC.
I-11. Section 6. Command actions
This section consists of four subsections: VALIDATE PRIOR-SERVICE LEAVE DAYS PAID, VALIDATE NON-PRIOR
SERVICE CATEGORY, VALIDATE PERFORMANCE STATUS and ACCOUNTS IN HELD PAY STATUS. Each
subsection represents a potential problem. Units must research each Soldier listed in these subsections, take corrective action
if necessary, and annotate the action taken next to the Soldier’s name. An example of Section 6 is at figure
I-6. An explanation of each subsection follows.
a. VALIDATE PRIOR-SERVICE LEAVE DAYS PAID. Lists Soldiers who have not had their MMPA updated to
reflect their accrued leave payment history. The MMPAs that have been updated with accrued leave payment history will
have an “X” in the FI-IND field and will not appear on this section of the report. No action is required by the unit unless
the Soldier requests payment of accrued leave. See paragraph 2-9p (3).
b. VALIDATE NON-PRIOR SERVICE CATEGORY. Lists non-prior service Soldiers assigned for more than 270 days
without completing IADT. The 270 day period starts from the date in the DOG field.
c. VALIDATE PERFORMANCE STATUS. Lists Soldiers who have not been paid for any type of duty (IDT, active
duty, or incapacitation pay) in the last 90 days. These Soldiers are potential unsatisfactory participants.
d. ACCOUNTS IN HELD PAY STATUS. Lists Soldiers who have had a payment returned to DFAS (either check or
direct deposit). The most common cause of held pay status is Soldiers submitting a new direct deposit election and closing
the old account before the new account posts to his/her MMPA. Payments sent to the old account will be returned by the
financial institution to DFAS. DFAS will place the Soldier’s account in held pay status for up to 90 days waiting posting of
new direct deposit information. DFAS will transfer the held pay funds to the US Treasury when a Soldier does not submit a
new EFT election within 90 days of entering held pay status.
I-12. Section 7. TRICARE Selected Reserve Dental Plan (TSRDP) Data
a. Soldiers with TRICARE Selected Reserve Dental Plan coverage, including name, SSN, and amount of premium deducted
for the month. An example of Section 7 is at figure I-7.
b. UNIT TOTAL fields give totals of TSRDP participants and non-participants for the unit.
(1) SRDP PREMIUM DEDUCTED. Total amount of TSRDP premiums deducted for the unit during the report month.
(2) RECORDS WITH SRDP DEDUCTION. Total number of Soldiers who had TSRDP premiums deducted during the
report month.
(3) RECORDS W-NO SRDP DEDUCTION. Total number of Soldiers who elected TSRDP and did not have TSRDP
premiums deducted during the report month.
(4) SRDP RECORDS. Total number of Soldiers with a TSRDP election on their MMPA.
(5) PERCENTAGE OF PARTICIPATION. Percentage of Soldiers with a TSRDP election on their MMPA.

Appendix L
148 USAR PAM 37-1 • 7 May 2018
Personnel/Pay Mismatch Reports
Section I General
L-1. Overview
a. Paragraph 2-4 defines TAPDB-R data elements that are sent automatically to DJMS-RC to update a
Soldiers MMPA. Accessions, transfers, separations, enlisted advancements and promotions and name change
corrections processed in RLAS should update Soldier pay accounts automatically. When one of these RLAS
transactions fails to update a Soldier’s MMPA the Soldier will have mismatched data between his/her
personnel and pay records. Mismatched data can result in under, over, or non-payment of Soldiers. Units are
required to ensure that every Soldier has matching and accurate data in their personnel and pay records.
b. Personnel/Pay Mismatch Reports are critical unit-level internal control reports and a key control for
military pay Audit Readiness. Proper reconciliation and certification of the report is required monthly and is an
inspectable item during SAVs, OIPs, Internal Review (IR) and Inspector General special audits, audits of
military pay audit readiness conducted by Independent Public Auditors and ad hoc checks by the USARC G-8
PMD and the RD Finance Divisions. The reports are sorted alphabetically and identify Soldiers who have
mismatched data between DJMS-RC and TAPDB-R/RLAS.
c. Prior to December 2016, USARC units used the UH022-2026, Personnel/Pay Mismatch report created by
DJMS-RC to identify mismatches. Beginning with the December 2016 pay reports, USARC units transitioned
to using the SELRES Pay/Per Data Discrepancy Issues Subset report from the Commanders Strength
Management Module (CSMM) of the Reserve Component Management System (RCMS) at
https://rcms.usar.army.mil/v3/Portal/.
L-2. Accessing the SELRES Pay/Per Data Discrepancy Issues Subset Report
a. The USARC G-8 PMD notifies units via a pay message when the Unit Commanders Pay Management
Report (UCPMR) is available in RLAS. Units will print and reconcile the SELRES Pay/Per Data Discrepancy
Issues Subset report simultaneously with the UCPMR. The G-8 PMD message establishes a suspense date for
reconciliation and certification of 30 days from the date of the message.
b. To access the SELRES Pay/Per Data Discrepancy Issues Subset report, from the CSMM main menu, select
“Leadership Reports”, “Data Quality” and “SELRES Pay/Per Data Discrepancy Issues Subset report”. Select your
UIC. Once the report appears, select the Excel icon from the upper right side of the menu to export the report to an
Excel worksheet. Print the report. You can adjust the spreadsheet columns to reduce the number of pages needed to
print the report.
L-3. Reconciling the SELRES Pay/Per Data Discrepancy Issues Subset Report
a. The UPA or RPAC reviews each mismatch on the report and submits corrective actions through RLAS or the
UPC, as appropriate. Use the SELRES Pay/Per Data Discrepancy Issues Subset Report Reconciliation Checklist
at figure L-3 to ensure proper reconciliation of the Report. Annotate corrective actions taken on the report, to
include the transmittal letter number used for actions submitted to the UPC. For example, after identifying a
separation that did not process in DJMS-RC (Pay/Per Discrepancy-TAPDB-R Strength Not in TAPDB-R = Y )
your remark might be: ‘Sep order and Per/Pay Mismatch Report submitted 5 Dec 16, TL 059-013”. Keep in mind
that the SELRES Pay/Per Data Discrepancy Issues Subset Report is current as of the latest update to DJMS-RC
and may not reflect RLAS or pay actions submitted recently.
b. The UPA/RPAC will provide the reconciled SELRES Pay/Per Data Discrepancy Issues Subset report to the
unit commander or alternate certifying officer for review and certification.
L-4. Commander Certification of the SELRES Pay/Per Data Discrepancy Issues Subset Report
a. Unit commanders will ensure that the UPA or RPAC took appropriate corrective actions to reconcile the
SELRES Pay/Per Data Discrepancy Issues Subset report and will certify the report prior to the G-8 suspense
date. Commanders should pay special attention to:
(1) Soldiers identified as Pay/Per Discrepancy-TAPDB-R Strength Not in DFAS “Y” or Pay/Per
Discrepancy-TAPDB-R Strength Not in TAPDB-R “Y”
(2) Soldiers with mismatched PEBDs. An overstated PEBD results in overpayments of Basic Pay. An
understated PEBD results in underpayments.
(3) Soldiers with differing grades. This condition will result in under or overpayments of Basic Pay and
BAH if the DJMS-RC grade is incorrect.
b. After verifying the UPAs or RPACs actions with the SELRES Pay/Per Data Discrepancy Issues Subset
report, the commander, or an alternate certifying officer must sign and date the report on the bottom of the last page.
The commander or alternate certifying officer must sign NLT the G-8 suspense date established for the current
report. See paragraph 1-11 for alternate certifying officer requirements. The signature will include the commander’s
signature block.
USAR PAM 37-1 • 7 May 2018 149
L-5. Retention of SELRES Pay/Per Data Discrepancy Issues Subset report. Units and RPACs will retain the
reconciled and certified SELRES Pay/Per Data Discrepancy Issues Subset report IAW paragraph K-5.
Specifically, retain the reports by month in ARIMS file RN: 1100B Finance 6+.
