NARR/REF A. ANNOUNCED CHANGES TO THE GTCCP. REF B. IS THE MARINE
CORPS ORDER ON THE GTCCP. REF C IS TAN 13-03 TRAVEL CLAIM
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR EXTENDED TDY PERIODS.//
GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. THE PURPOSE OF THIS MESSAGE IS TO MODIFY THE
MARINE CORPS POLICY CONCERNING TRANSFER OF CARDHOLDER ACCOUNTS.
REF A DIRECTED AGENCY PROGRAM COORDINATOR'S (APC) NOT TO TRANSFER
ACCOUNTS WITH DELINQUENT BALANCES. WHEN A CARDHOLDER TRANSFERRED
AND HAD A DELINQUENT BALANCE ON THE GTCC, THE LOSING COMMAND WAS
REQUIRED TO COORDINATE COLLECTION ACTION WITH THE GAINING COMMAND
WHO HAD NO VISIBILITY OF THE ACCOUNT. THE COMPLICATIONS RESULTING
FROM THIS PRACTICE FOR PCS AND TDY HAVE HAD AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE
MANAGEMENT OF THE MARINE CORPS GTCCP DELINQUENCY AND WILL NOW APPLY
ONLY FOR PCS.
2. ACCOUNT TRANSFERS:
A. CARDHOLDERS EXECUTING TDY FOR PERIODS EXCEEDING 90 DAYS WILL HAVE
THEIR GTCC ACCOUNTS TRANSFERRED TO THE TDY COMMAND'S HIERARCHY,
REGARDLESS OF THE DELINQUENCY STATUS. WHEN THE TDY PERIOD IS
COMPLETE, THE ACCOUNT WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO THE PERMANENT DUTY
STATION WHEN THE CARDHOLDER REPORTS, REGARDLESS OF THE DELINQUENCY
STATUS.
B. WHEN THE INITIAL TDY PERIOD IS ANTICIPATED TO BE LESS THAN 90
DAYS AND IS SUBSEQUENTLY EXTENDED, THE APC AT THE TDY COMMAND WILL
JOIN THE ACCOUNT TO THEIR HIERARCHY WHEN THE EXTENSION IS GRANTED.
C. ACCOUNTS MUST BE DEACTIVATED PRIOR TO THE CARDHOLDER DETACHING
FOR PCS. CARDHOLDERS ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO USE THE GTCC FOR
PERMANENT CHANGE OF STATION (PCS) EXPENSES (REF B).
D. APC'S AT THE TDY COMMANDS MUST COORDINATED WITH THE
ADMINISTRATIVE SECTION TO ENSURE PARTIAL SETTLEMENTS ARE COMPLETED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH REF A AND C.
E. THIS POLICY CHANGE IS APPLICABLE TO MOBILIZED RESERVE MARINES.
F. WHEN EXECUTING A PCS MOVE WITH TEMPORARY DUTY IN ROUTE, THE APC
AT THE NEW PDS IS REQUIRED TO TRANSFER THE ACCOUNT UPON ARRIVAL,
REGARDLESS OF THE DELINQUENCY STATUS.
3. THE MARINE CORPS GTCC PROGRAM MANAGER (RFF) WILL CONTINUE TO
PROVIDE COMMANDERS WITH MONTHLY UPDATES AND WILL ACT ON FORCED
TRANSFER REQUESTS ONLY AFTER THE LOSING APC HAS CONTACTED THE
GAINING APC AND IS UNABLE TO GET THE ACCOUNT TRANSFERRED.
4. FLUCTUATIONS IN COMMAND DELINQUENCY RATES ARE ANTICIPATED
UNTIL THE IMPACT OF THESE ACCOUNT TRANSFERS IS OVERCOME AND
THOSE GAINING COMMANDS HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROPERLY
MANAGE THEIR NEW ACCOUNTS.
