mLINQS SYSTEM MAINTENANCE COMPLETED

mLINQS maintenance has been completed and all functions related to PCS relocation processing have been restored. Please ensure all orders are processed from DA as no manual creation of relocations are authorized.

Duplicate Relocations Found in mLINQS from Unauthorized Manual Entries

There have been several duplicate PCS relocations found in mLINQS causing a plethora of issues.

AO’s and/or proxies should NOT be entering relocations manually in mLINQS without contacting PPC first (customer care ticket) as relocations should be processed from DA to mLINQS. Below are the steps to take if a relocation has not processed from DA to mLINQS.

If the PCS relocation has been put in a “ready” status in DA and is not found in mLINQS :

Contact PPC customer care via trouble ticket subject “re-submit to mLINQS” and PPC will manually re-submit this relocation over to mLINQS.
If PPC cannot process this relocation over to mLINQS due to a systems error, we will work with the AO on manual entry.
Relocations input using the legacy process should still submit a ticket to finish those claims using the legacy process calculator method. Only if they have already started using the legacy process.
Any manual input relocations into mLINQS outside of this process will require an AO/proxy re-training and possible revocation of elevated permissions.

DIRECT ACCESS

Direct Access (DA) is currently operational. Given the recent upgrades, the C5I Service Center is actively addressing residual access issues following the implementation of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) as announced in ALCOAST 105/25. Additionally, the C5I Service Center has assumed PPC’s previous role for DA password reset and other technical maintenance.

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

Common Access Card (CAC) users must login using their CAC. Username/password login is no longer available.
Non-CAC holders (Retirees, Annuitants and those without a CGOne account) should have received a password reset email from the C5I Service Center. If members have not received their password reset email or continue to experience issues logging in, they should contact the C5I Service Center 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, EDT) or via email at SMB-USCG-KerWV-ProductSupportSD@uscg.mil for assistance with password resets, logon assistance or other DA technical issues. 

The Pay and Personnel Center (PPC) Customer Care Help Desk will continue to address personnel/administrative issues (not related to DA technical issues) and can be reached via email at PPC-DG-CustomerCare@uscg.mil or by phone at 866-772-8724 (Mon-Fri, 7:30AM-4:00PM, CDT).

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 care and accuracy.
