DD 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 Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty (DD Form 214) 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.
