View Rule

DoD must collect and maintain information on Service members, beneficiaries, DoD employees, and other individuals affiliated with the DoD in order to issue them DoD identification (ID) cards that facilitate access to DoD benefits and DoD installations and computers. This action further clarifies requirements for DoD Self-Service (DS) Logon credentials that are used to facilitate logical access to self-service websites. This regulatory action will meet this need by authorizing DoD to collect and maintain the necessary information to support issuance of a DoD ID card and DS Logon credentials.

This rule describes procedures for obtaining a DS Logon credential for all active duty, National Guard and Reserve, and Commissioned Corps members of the uniformed services when separating from active duty or from the unformed service; lists how DS Logon credential holders may maintain and update their DS Logon credential and manage their personal settings; and defines the permissions that DS Logon credential holders have to access their information, who has access to view and edit their information and who is eligible to act on their behalf.
