RMKS/1.  This NAVADMIN announces the annual Special Duty Assignment Pay

retroactive payments and procedures.  In line with references (a) and (b), 
commanding officers (CO) are required to annually review and certify each 
Sailors entitlement to SDAP.  This certification is to verify every Sailor 
who is assigned to an eligible billet remains qualified to fill the billet 
and is receiving the correct SDAP.  Certification shall commence upon the 
release of this NAVADMIN and continue through 31 August 2017.  In line with 
reference (a), commands that do not complete the required certification by 31 
August 2017 will have their Sailors SDAP terminated retroactive to 1 June 
2017.

        (2) Annual SDAP report requesters are to include their primary unit

    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 put 
a brief description as to why they are no longer eligible

start date, and within the current FY, can be processed by PERS-81 and will

explaining why the members SDAP was not processed in a timely manner.  All

certification is not fully routed until October or November.
