REF B IS DOD INSTRUCTION 1340.26 CHANGE 1, ASSIGNMENT AND SPECIAL DUTY ASSIGNMENT PAY.// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN announces the annual special duty assignment pay (SDAP) recertification process for fiscal year (FY) 2021. In line with references (a) and (b), commanding officers (CO) are required to annually review and certify the entitlement to SDAP for each Sailor. This recertification is vital in verifying that every Sailor who is assigned to an eligible billet remains qualified to fill that billet and is receiving the correct level of SDAP. 2. Certification shall commence upon the release of this NAVADMIN and continue through 31 August 2021. Enlisted Incentive Program Department (BUPERS-328) will stop SDAP for all SDAP recipients at all commands failing to complete the recertification process on time. Commands should prioritize timely completion of this process to preclude pay disruptions for eligible Sailors. SDAP recertification reports received at BUPERS-328 will not be forwarded to the servicing personnel support detachment (PSD). Any action required to start, stop or change the level of SDAP of a Sailor must be submitted to PSD via the command pay and personnel administrator (CPPA) using the transaction online processing system (TOPS). 3. To verify if a Sailor is eligible and receiving the correct level of SDAP, a complete list of authorized skills and pay amounts can be found by visiting the MyNavy Portal (MNP) website at https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-Management/Community- Management/Enlisted-Career-Admin/SRB-SDAP-Enl-Bonus/, then scroll to and click on *SDAP Levels with Admin Updates.* 4. Follow these procedures to certify the SDAP report of your Command. a. Obtain and print the annual SDAP report of your command. The annual SDAP report only pulls those Sailors that are currently drawing SDAP. The report will not highlight potentially eligible Sailors who are not currently receiving SDAP. (1) The command annual SDAP report may be obtained by sending a digitally signed e-mail to the SDAP recertification report help desk at mill_sdap_recert.fct@navy.mil. You may also contact BUPERS-328 at (901)874-3260/DSN 882 for additional assistance with this process. (2) Annual SDAP report requesters are to include their primary unit identification code (UIC) in the subject line and any required subordinate UICs in the e-mail body. (3) Reports will only be provided to command career management system-interactive detailing (CMS-ID) users with the activity manning manager (AMM) role. Requester must have CMS-ID AMM access for all subordinate UICs requested. Commands with no AMM will need to submit a CMS-ID AMM access request which can be found by visiting the MNP website at https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Portals/55/Career/Detailing/MyNavyAssignment/My Navy_Assignment_Access.pdf (4) The SDAP report will be returned as an attachment either in an encrypted e-mail or via the Department of Defense Secure Access File Exchange at https://safe.apps.mil/. b. Verify your command as a whole and make changes as follows: (1) Add all Sailors who are eligible for SDAP, but not listed in the annual SDAP report. To add, simply handwrite or type the name, rate, effective date and level on the bottom of the annual SDAP report. If there is not enough space, attach a list on command letterhead. (2) Draw a line through any Sailor who is no longer eligible and provide a brief description (transfer/separation/loss of Navy enlisted classifications). (3) Verify levels are in line with the most recent SDAP eligibility chart by visiting the MNP website at https://mynavyhr.navy.afpims.mil/Career-Management/Community- Management/Enlisted-Career-Admin/SRB-SDAP-Enl-Bonus, then scroll to and click on *SDAP Levels with Admin Updates.* (4) The original signature of the CO must be on each page of the annual SDAP report accompanied by the following statement, *After review, I certify that all required additions and changes have been annotated, actions required to start, stop, increase or decrease has been processed via PSD prior to submission of recertification and all Sailors at this command are receiving the correct SDAP entitlement.* This statement can be handwritten, typed or affixed by a label. A cover letter is not required, however it may be included if additional space is required to add SDAP eligible Sailors or if an explanation of changes is warranted. (5) Provide a point of contact in the top right-hand corner of the first page of the annual SDAP report. (6) Send the SDAP report via encrypted e-mail to mill_incen_pays.fct@navy.mil. The e-mail subject line must contain UIC and point of contact with rate, name, phone number and e-mail. You may also contact BUPERS-328 at (901)874-3260/DSN 882 for additional assistance with this process. (7) If you are having trouble sending encrypted e-mail, ensure that your encryption e-mail certificate is posted to the global address list. If you are still having encryption issues, contact BUPERS-328 at (901) 874- 3260/DSN 882. (8) E-mail is the preferred method, but if you need to send the report via regular mail, please send to Navy Personnel Command Enlisted Incentive Program Department (BUPERS-328) 5720 Integrity Drive Millington TN 38055-0130 5. Should a service record or payment update becomes necessary, each command is responsible for completing this action though their local servicing PSD. All corrective transactions older than 240 days will be processed by BUPERS-328 via an emailed request submitted to mill_incen_pays.fct@navy.mil. 6. Commands can check the status of their SDAP recertification at https://mynavyhr.navy.afpims.mil/Career-Management/Community- Management/Enlisted-Career-Admin/SRB-SDAP-Enl-Bonus, then scroll to the SDAP section and click on *SDAP Delinquent List.* Immediate superior in commands (ISIC) are strongly encouraged to use this site to ensure all subordinate commands have completed the recertification. Please allow 5 to 10 days after submission for the webpage to be updated. 7. For commands who had SDAP payments stopped as a result of failing to complete the required process in time, SDAP can only be restored by BUPERS- 328. SDAP can be restored for delinquent commands upon completion of the directed recertification process with the added requirement of an ISIC endorsement. This endorsement cannot be signed by direction nor by an acting ISIC. A list of delinquent commands will be forwarded to the Chief of Naval Personnel and the N1 staffs at U.S. Fleet Forces and U.S. Pacific Fleet via the Military Pay and Compensation Branch (OPNAV N130). Once the recertification and ISIC endorsement are received by BUPERS-328, suspended SDAP payments will resume, to include back pay for any missed payments. 8. It is recognized that the recertification process is burdensome for Sailors and commands. OPNAV N130 is working with Navy Pay and Personnel (NP2) programmers to embed recertification functions within the next generation of pay systems to improve process efficiency. Until these systems are deployed, the current process must be followed with care to ensure continued payment of entitlements to all eligible Sailors. 9. Point of contact. BUPERS-328, mill_incen_pays.fct@navy.mil, (901) 874-3260/DSN 882. 10. This NAVADMIN will remain in effect until superseded or 1 October 2021, whichever occurs first. 11.
