GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  PURPOSE.  TO ADVISE ADDRESSEES OF THE MCTIMS PLANS TO MOVE TO THE USE OF DOD ID EDIPI FOR INDIVIDUAL IDENTIFICATION INSTEAD OF SSNS.  ALSO TO ADVISE OF ACTIONS PLANNED BY THE MCTIMS TEAM TO IDENTIFY ISSUES AND THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF THIS CHANGE TO THE MCTIMS USER COMMUNITY.
2.  PLAN AND SCHEDULE: TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF REFERENCE A, MCTIMS CHANGE WILL IMPLEMENT EDIPI FOR INDIVIDUAL IDENTIFICATION INSTEAD OF SSNS.  OUR PLAN IS TO PROVIDE THE ABILITY TO SEARCH BY EDIPI MUCH LIKE THE CURRENT SSN SEARCH FUNCTIONALITY.  ADDITIONALLY, EDIPI WILL REPLACE SSN ON ALL MCTIMS REPORTS.  THE ROLL-OUT OF THE CHANGE IS PLANNED FOR 7 DECEMBER 2012. 
3.  OBJECTIVE: COMPLY WITH THE OSD MEMORANDUM IN REFERENCE A BY REMOVING ALL SSNS FROM THE MCTIMS USER INTERFACE AND REPORTS AND REPLACING IT WITH THE DOD ID EDIPI.    
4.  NEAR-TERM ACTIONS:  ON 7 NOVEMBER 2012, SEPARATE CORRESPONDENCE WAS PROVIDED TO ALL CURRENT MCTIMS USERS VIA DETAILED MESSAGE AT LOGIN.  USERS WERE INSTRUCTED TO CONTACT THE MCTIMS HELPDESK IMMEDIATELY IF POTENTIAL ISSUES EXISTED SO IMPACT STATEMENTS COULD BE GENERATED.  THESE IMPACT STATEMENTS SHOULD ALREADY HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE HELPDESK OR ARE IN THE PROCESS.
5.  PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL IMPACT STATEMENTS TO THE POC OR MCTIMS HELPDESK IMMEDIATELY.  VALIDATED IMPACTS WILL BE PROVIDED TO TECOM FOR REVIEW AND IMPLEMENTATION OF WORKAROUND SOLUTIONS.  EVERY EFFORT WILL BE MADE TO SUPPORT MCTIMS CUSTOMERS WHILE COMPLYING WITH OSD DIRECTIVES.
