LANGLEY AIR FORCE BASE, Va. –
Since December 2010, the 633d Comptroller Squadron Finance office has gone through major improvements to bolster customer service efforts; effective Dec. 13, the Squadron implemented Controlled Spend Account cards and on Feb. 24, manual travel-related document processing was transferred to the Air Force Financial Services Center.
Additional improvements in voucher processing are now available for use with two e-submission platforms: PCS In-Processing System and E-Finance.
Effective Oct. 1, the 633 CPTS will no longer accept paper submissions in an effort to streamline accuracy and processing times, improve accountability, and eliminate paper waste and unnecessary trips to finance. Instead, Department of Defense personnel should accomplish the following finance-related services using a computer with a Common Access Card reader: submit vouchers for permanent change of station electronically; the recertification of basic allowance for housing, dislocation allowance, temporary lodging expense, and family separation allowance; change state of legal residence or direct deposit; and complete mandatory statements in lieu of lost receipts.
The PIPs application contains several tabs to assist with package submissions. As Servicemembers progress through the process, a green check mark appears beside each completed tab. Once each tab is complete, they can electronically submit a PIPs package.
The other e-submission platform, E-Finance, assists DOD personnel with filing travel vouchers that are not supported by Defense Travel System to include accrual payment requests, and partial and final settlement vouchers. E-Finance also processes advance pay for PCS; authorizations to start, stop, or change insurance, home mortgage, or privatized housing allotments; emergency pay and allowances; FSA and changes to state of legal residency.
To assist those without a CAC-enabled computer, 633 CPTS will activate onsite help center terminals, through which subject matter experts can answer questions about capabilities, rules and regulations. For more information, call the finance office at 764-3333 or email 633cpts.service@langley.af.mil.
