CG-2020D Designation of Beneficiaries

Designation of Persons Authorized to Direct Disposition of Remains

Per the National Defense Authorization Act 2012 signed by the President on 31 Dec, the "Designation of Persons Authorized to Direct Disposition of Remains of Members of the Armed Services" (PADD) is now a "member-designated" benefit. As outlined in ALCOAST 427/08 only spouse, adult child, parent or adult sibling were allowed to be designated. If none were known or alive then any relative may have been designated, or finally, a close friend. The new law allows members to designate any person of choice.

No one is required to change any PADD designation as a result of the change in law or to update their form CG-2020D at this time. Existing PADD designations for someone other than a relative--which actually should not have been accepted at the time--will now be acceptable, no update needed. The change supports every Coast Guard member who has reason to designate a PADD other than a relative.

The Personnel Service Center (PSC) is in the process of updating the designation form and will be promulgating an ALCOAST once the revised form is approved.

Note: If a member has a spouse but designates a person other than the spouse to receive all or a portion of the death gratuity pay, the member's Commanding Officer is required to notify the spouse, in writing, about the designation. Here is a template (in MS Word format) for the Memo to notify the member's spouse.

Note: CG-Form 2045, Career Intentions Worksheet, has been updated to allow Command Approvers to electronically submit the approved form via email through a "Submit Button" at the bottom of the page. The new popup email automatically populates the Interservice Transfer Team's ISTT email address in the cc line providing them immediate notification of a member's intention to separate.   Giving them this visibility will provide for greater communication between the ISTT and a separating member helping them to understand all the benefits to affiliating with the Reserves after they separate.   

Note: Use the Submit button for final submissions only!  Command approvers will enter the email address for the Servicing Personnel Office for the unit in the "To" line of the message generated by the form. Do not submit unapproved forms to the Interservice Transfer Team.

    General Residency Rules: The general rule is that legal residency is established when an individual is physically present in a state AND has the intent to permanently reside in the state.

    "Intention to permanently reside" can be shown through a combination of several factors: ownership of real property; registering to vote; registering a vehicle; obtaining a driver's license; and declaring of legal residency on legal documents (including DD Form 2058: State of Legal Residence Certificate). One of these factors by itself would probably not be enough to change residency, but if a service member moved to a state and registered to vote, bought a house, registered her car, obtained a new driver's license, and registered her children in the local schools, she would most likely be considered to be a resident of the new state. For example, if you were a legal resident of Delaware when you entered the Armed Forces, you remain a legal resident of Delaware for Delaware state income tax purposes unless you voluntarily abandoned your Delaware residency and established a new legal domicile in another state. A change in legal residence is documented by filing DD Form 2058 with your military personnel office.

VA/OSGLI:

Note:  If you are in any uniformed service and you have full-time SGLI coverage; use the SGLI Online Enrollment System (SOES) (under the Benefits Tab, click Life Insurance SOES - SGLI Online Enrollment System.) to:

  • reduce or decline SGLI coverage
  • designate or update the beneficiary on a SGLI policy
  • restore or increase SGLI coverage when it has previously been reduced or declined
  • SGLV-8286,  Link to VA Site: SGLI Election And Certificate and other SGLI forms

    Note;: Please be sure to always use the most recent revision when completing new elections or changing beneficiary designations. Elections and designations completed using earlier editions of the SGLV-8286 remain valid. Members do not need to complete a new form if there are no changes to their elections or beneficiary designations.
     
  • SGLV-8286A,  Link to VA Site: SGLI Family Coverage Election and other FSGLI forms.

    Note: Per E-Mail ALSPO B/16, this form is only to be completed when a member is reducing coverage, declining coverage, increasing coverage, restoring coverage, or applying for coverage when member-married-to-member. This form is not required when a member, who is subject to automatic coverage, accepts the automatic coverage. 

    The form is not intended for use during annual validation or PCS reporting in where the purpose is to “continue” or “validate” previously existing coverage.  Completing the form unnecessarily during these circumstances creates confusion and frequently causes OSGLI to mistakenly deny coverage under the assumption that the member is applying for previously declined or reduced spouse coverage.
     
  • More SGLI and VGLI Forms

    The health-related questions (SGLV-8286, Item 4, About Your Health or SGLV-8286A, Part III - Spouse Information) on the forms are only required to be completed when the member has previously declined coverage or elected coverage for a reduced amount and wants to reinstate or increase coverage. Please refer Chapter 5, Section A, of the Personnel and Pay Procedures Manual, for additional information on completing forms SGLV-8286 and SGLV-8286A.

Career Sea Pay (CSP)
Five Level Table and TDY Entitlement RulesUpdated

Career Sea Pay stops once a member departs on Resiliency Absence and there is no expectation for them to the departing unit upon termination of Resiliency Absence Permissive Orders (see ALCOAST COMDT NOTE 034/21; COVID-19 Major Cutter Resiliency Absence Update).

Resiliency Absence (ICW PCS departure) will be authorized on the PCS order and listed in Delay En route section as "Compensatory Absence". The absence must be entered following  any leave en route and prior to proceed or travel time. Entering the absence in this order will stop CSP/CST on the day of departure and stop CGSMR the day prior to departure.

1) Formal training

2) Leave INCONUS

3) Leave OCONUS

4) Compensatory Absence (14 day resiliency absence)

5) Proceed time

6) Travel time.

 Career Sea Pay 03/29/2021 02/25/2021UPDATED
(covers starting, restarting,
stopping, and deleting neutral time.)		  

Career Sea Pay Premium (CSPP)

Note: If submitting transaction out-of-range the SPO will submit the CSPP Start Date Calculator Spreadsheet via a trouble-ticket to PPC customer care after approving the CSPP action request in Direct Access. Also submit the CSPP Start Date Calculator Spreadsheet via a trouble-ticket to PPC customer care if having trouble inputting or approving the transaction. 

Known Issue: Career Sea Pay Premium (CSPP) for TACLETs - SPOs must submit trouble tickets to have CSPP pay out for CSPP eligible TACLET members who go TDY to a ship.
