PCS voucher process renovated Published April 15, 2009 By 375th Comptroller Squadron 375th AW SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. -- The days of waiting weeks to complete a PCS in-processing voucher for active duty Air Force members will soon become a thing of the past. The Permanent Change of Station In-Processing System has started deploying to the Air Force and will be available for use for Scott customers Monday. PIPS offers a secure, paperless way to submit PCS-related financial documents with automated assistance to the member. This process is accomplished using a "wizard approach" to guide the members through PCS in-processing by presenting an interactive interview session that will explain PCS entitlements based on information provided by the member. PIPS can be accessed via a secure Web site application, eFinance, using their common access card and pin. Once a user navigates to the PIPS site, the system will use easy to understand question and answer sessions to take the member through the process of PCS travel from start to finish. The "wizard" technology will make it virtually impossible to overlook even the smallest detail when completing a PCS-In voucher. Included in this site are links to entitlements, rates payable and frequently asked questions relative to the PCS move. The information provided includes: Travel Entitlements Basic Allowance for Housing Temporary Lodging Expense Family Separation Allowance Advance Military Pay Advance Basic Allowance for Housing Cost of Living Allowance By using PIPS, members will be able to initiate and complete their financial services in-processing from anywhere in the world using a common access card-enabled computer. The PIPS Program Management office is currently working with bases to plan for future deployments. Active duty personnel can view a demonstration video of PIPS by visiting the Money-Finance Central Web site. The PIPS demo can be found under the Spotlight section.
