Direct Access User Guides Retiree Self-Service E-Gov Travel System (ETS)

DIRECT ACCESS

Direct Access is currently operational. Given the recent upgrades, the C5I Service Center is actively monitoring for residual access issues following the implementation of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) as announced in ALCOAST 105/25. PPC advises users who are experiencing login issues to delay submitting a help ticket or contacting product support at this time. To help the C5I Service Center address any issues that may develop, we recommend waiting 24 hours before contacting the C5I Service Center Product Support Service Desk.

DA’s status will be updated accordingly on the logon screen once services are fully restored.

Coast Guard users with CGOne Network Accounts must NOW log in via Common Access Card (CAC).
Non-CAC holders (Retirees, Annuitants and those without a CGOne account) will perform a password reset prior to attempting to log in. The C5I Service Center is sending emails with pre-generated passwords and guidance to Non-CAC users with email addresses on file within DA. Non-CAC holders who do not receive this email by 24 March 2025 are advised to contact the Product Support Service Desk for assistance.

Product Support Service Desk can be reached by phone at 800-821-7081 (Mon-Fri, 6:30AM-6:30PM, EST) or via email at SMB-USCG-KerWV-ProductSupportSD@uscg.mil for assistance with password resets, logon assistance or other DA technical issues. 

All other personnel requests (not related to DA technical issues) will continue to be handled by the Pay and Personnel Center (PPC) Customer Care Help Desk who can reached via email at PPC-DG-CustomerCare@uscg.mil or by phone at 866-772-8724. 

RETIRED PAY

PPC is addressing a processing delay due to systematic issues and a shortage of personnel. This is causing a delay in response efforts for VA offsets, AEWs, CRDP, and CRSC disability. You remain our primary concern. We want to assure you that we are fully committed to resolving these issues promptly and handling your cases with utmost proficiency.
