The limited availability to Direct Access, outlined in ALCOAST 381/18 has been extended in order to support 2019 pay rate and other regulatory changes. Direct Access was originally scheduled to be reactivated at 2359 EST Monday, December 31, 2018; however, the system will now be reactivated at 2359 EST, Monday, January 7, 2019. This limited availability to Direct Access will continue to impact all Active Duty, Reservists, Retirees, Annuitants and civilian supervisors of military members. During this timeframe, access to self-service in Direct Access for all users will be unavailable. This means no login access, including no ability to submit absence requests, no processing of pay or separation transactions and no processing of orders to include Reserve IDT, ADT, etc. Efforts are currently being made to work through current workforce challenges to complete the Direct Access tech refresh as quickly as possible.

An ALCOAST is being prepared for release.
