B. ISSUE 091202: SRB PAYMENTS REJECT AT DFAS WHEN PERSONNEL
OFFICES/CCC'S SUBMIT A SUBSEQUENT SRB REQUEST ON ANY SAILOR WHO IS
ALREADY IN RECEIPT OF AN SRB APPROVAL.  WHEN DFAS RECEIVES THE DATA
STRING FROM THE SECOND REQUEST, THE SYSTEM INTERPRETS THE DATA AS A
SECOND SRB REENLISTMENT IN THE SAME ZONE.  IT IS SUBSEQUENTLY
REJECTED TO PREVENT AN OVERPAYMENT.  ONCE THE SRB HAS BEEN APPROVED,
REENLISTMENT MUST OCCUR AS REQUESTED. PRIOR TO PAYING ANY SRB COMMANDS 
MUST VERIFY THE FOLLOWING:
1. VERIFY REENLISTMENT CONTRACT WITH DATA IN OPINS AND ON SRB APPROVAL.
2. VERIFY REENLISTMENT DATA POSTED IN LOPG.
3. VERIFY OPINS DATA POSTED TO MMPA. 
NOTE:  IF 'NN' LINE EXISTS IN MMPA, DFAS MUST BE CONTACTED TO
CORRECT ERRORS OTHER THAN THE 'DDE' CODE. IF AN APPROVED SRB 
REENLISTMENT DOES NOT OCCUR, COMMANDS MUST CONTACT PERS 811 ASAP.  
THIS WILL PREVENT OVERPAYMENTS AND ALLOW THE SRB FUNDS TO BE 
REALLOCATED TO PENDING SRB REQUESTS. POINTS OF CONTACT ETC(SW/AW) 
MCCANN OR MR. FRANK PALOMO AND CAN BE REACHED AT COMMERICAL:
901-874-2526 DSN: 882, E-MAIL: SCOTT.MCCANN(AT)NAVY.MIL OR 
FRANCISCO.PALOMO(AT)NAVY.MIL. ADDITIONAL SRB INFORMATION CAN BE 
FOUND AT HTTP://WWW.NPC.NAVY.MIL/CAREERINFO.
C. ISSUE 091203: WE CONTINUE TO SEE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF LOCAL
AWARDS VERIFIED IN ESR WITH INACCURATE INFORMATION.  ONCE AN AWARD
IS VERIFIED BY AN NSIPS/ESR SUPERVISOR IT CANNOT BE CORRECTED BY THE
FIELD. FOR THIS REASON IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT AWARDS BE ACCURATELY 
ASSESSED AND ERRONEOUS ENTRIES ARE CORRECTED BEFORE THEY ARE VERIFIED. 
TYPICALLY DATES ARE ENTERED IN ERROR, OR MASS VERIFICATIONS INCLUDE 
MEMBERS NOT ENTITLED TO AN AWARD.  ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS IMPERATIVE.  
ALSO, WE ARE SEEING THE FIELD CLOSE OUT MEMBER SERVICE RECORDS WITHOUT 
ENSURING THAT ALL AWARDS ARE CORRECT.  ONCE THESE INACCURATE/ERRONEOUS 
AWARDS ARE VERIFIED OR THE RECORD IS CLOSED OUT, THE FIELD CANNOT 
CORRECT. THEY MUST BE CORRECTED VIA A SERVICE REQUEST/TROUBLE TICKET WITH
THE NSIPS/ESR/CIMS HELP DESK.  THIS CREATES A WORKLOAD FOR THE HELP
DESK THAT COMPETES WITH THEM WORKING ON MORE SERIOUS ISSUES. IN THE
CASE OF A RECORD CLOSE OUT WITH INCORRECT AWARDS; IT TAKES A 
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF EFFORT TO CORRECT THE AWARD AND THE CLOSED OUT
RECORD. PLEASE ENSURE THAT ALL AWARDS TO BE VERIFIED ARE ACCURATE,
AND ALL MEMBER RECORDS TO BE CLOSED OUT, CONTAIN ACCURATE INFORMATION 
AS WELL. POINT OF CONTACT IS NSIPS/ESR/CIMS HELP DESK, COMMERICAL:
877-589-5991, 504-697-5442, DSN: 647-5442 OR E-MAIL: NSIPSHELPDESK@NAVY.MIL.//
