  27. DJMS Configuration Change Board (CCB) Process IAW the DJMS Program Charter, the DJMS CCB is a voting body that evaluates, approves/disapproves, and prioritizes all proposed System Change Requests (SCRs) concerning DJMS-AC/RC. The CCB consists of the following members: • Chair, DFAS MPO Director (Tie Vote Only) • Service DFAS MPO Directors for USAF, Army, and Navy • Mil Department Representative (USAF FM, Army FM, and Navy FM) Path of a PP = DFAS OWG, CWG, and approval/disapproval by DJMS CCB DJMS-AC/RC SCRs are submitted via a Point Paper that explains the purpose of the proposed SCR, as well as the scope it will affect and the impact if it is not approved. The information included in the PP is an estimated number of members affected by the change, and a cost analysis of the number of hours involved to complete the process manually on an annual basis. Major emphasis on efficiencies and effectiveness. Concentration now is support for Audit Readiness. The CCB Convenes normally twice per year and examples of OWG/CWG approved items for consideration by the next CCB include the following: • SGLI On-Line Enrollment System (SOES) Interfaces to DJMS-AC/RC • TLA w DMO Integration • Modify DJMS-RC to recalculate prior yr tax for HFP and CZTE • PSMC Statements via myPay • TSP Deduction after MGIB

  28. Barring Act Waivers Statute of Limitations for Claims against the Government (Title 31, U.S. Code, Section 3702 and DoD Instruction 1340.21) “Any person (claimant) may submit a claim who has a demand for money or property against the Government.” The claimant must submit a written claim that is signed, claim should include the claimant’s identifying information (address, telephone number, etc.), and state the reason why the Government owes the claimant that amount. The claimant must prove, by clear and convincing evidence, on the written record that the United States is liable to the claimant for the amount claimed. Claims must be received within 6 years of the date the claim accrued (with some exceptions) or the claim is Barred (Barring Act). Secretary of Defense may waive the time limitations (Barring Act Waiver) for claims involving uniformed service member’s pay, allowances, travel, transportation, payments for unused accrued leave, retired pay, and survivor benefits. Upon receipt of a valid claim, ASN(FM&C) FMO acts as liaison (“staffs the claim”) with the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (FM&C), the Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals (DOHA) and the submitting organization and/or claimant. Most common claim is when a claimant finds an “old” Treasury Check and cannot cash it. Other types include claims for deceased member’s final retiree check, undocumented claim against the Government, etc.

  29. Disbursing Officer Accountability Data (Jan 2012) Disbursing Officer’s transactions are complicated, time consuming, and carry pecuniary liability. The following is a snapshot of data from the Navy Disbursing Officers’ monthly Statement of Accountability (SF-1219).

  30. Disbursing Officer Initiatives • PCCOTC to OTCnet • TRS • PIR • LDA to ITS.gov • Cash Held Outside of Treasury

  31. Disbursing Initiatives • PCCOTC to OTCnet = Paper Check Conversion Over the Counter to Over the Counter Channel Application: OTCnet integrates the functionality of the Paper Check Conversion Over the Counter (PCC OTC) and “automates” the preparation/reporting of Deposits. • TRS = Transaction Reporting System (TRS): Collections reporting tool, supplying the latest information on deposits and detail of collections transactions. • PIR = Payment Information Repository: Payment (Treasury Check) Issuance reporting tool. Will require daily vice monthly reporting. • LDA to ITS.gov = Limited Depository Account transactions to International Treasury Services EFT transactions. • Cash Held Outside of Treasury = Treasury does have visibility of Disbo Cash on Hand. Initiative underway to identify/designate a LOA to account for this Cash. Implementation of this requirement will be a significant change and will increase workload will added complexity.
