DD Form 214 Series is Here!!

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 Uniformed Service," 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,” have been implemented into IPPS-A with updates for the Force! Members and HR Professionals are able to access the forms for review, corrections, and more efficient and accurate completion. 

What Guidance is Available? ​
