DD Form 214 Series is Coming to IPPS-A

The FY20 National Defense Authorization Act, Sections 569-570 of Public Law 116-92, directed the Department of Defense to: ​
 
  1. Modify the DD Form 214, "Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty" to be machine readable and electronically transferable and include a specific block for Members to provide one or more email addresses so Members may be contacted after discharge or release from active duty; and ​
     
  2. Establish and implement a standard record of service for members of the Reserve component, like the DD Form 214, that summarizes record of service. 

What is IPPS-A Doing About it?​


The DD Form 214 and DD Form 214-1, “Certificate of Uniformed Service, Reserve Component Addendum,” are coming to IPPS-A with updates for the Force! Members and HR Professionals will be able to access the forms for review, corrections, and more efficient and accurate completion. Development is still underway in the system, and this page will provide sneak peeks to provide instructions, explain changes, and get user feedback.
