  COERs**	Ensure that you are not missing any Commissioned Officer’s Effectiveness Reports (COERs) in your eOPF. Review COERs to ensure that all pages are present and legible. For New Officers: we recommend that you have a recent COER in your eOPF, even if not required. As long as your COER scores are on your PIR, you have met the COER deadline. Your COER does not need to be viewable in your eOPF to meet the deadline. Make sure your ROS is posted with your COER once your COER is entered into your eOPF. For additional assistance with COER-related matters, first visit the COER Information Page, and then contact your CC Liaison if needed.	December 31, 2018

  Reviewing Official's Statement	NEW: ROSs are now incorporated into the online annual COER. If you complete your annual COER online during the open period, your ROS will be submitted with your COER. In this case, a separate ROS is not needed. If you submitted a paper COER that became an annual COER (all transfer and interim COERs starting before and ending after July 1, 2018 ), an ROS submission through your liaison is still necessary. If you are not completing your 2018 annual COER online, verify by contacting your CC Liaison that the 2019 Reviewing Official's Statement (ROS) was submitted to and received by DCCPR prior to the deadline. DCCPR will index and upload the COER and ROS together as one document. NOTE: Only the 2019 form will be accepted, and must be submitted through the Agency Liaison.	December 31, 2018
  Required License/ Certification**	If required, ensure that your PIR reflects your current (not expired), valid Professional License or Certification at all times and at least by the checklist deadline. The actual license does not need to display in your eOPF by the deadline. Upload your current professional license through eDOC-U Information is available on the Licensure website: https:/dcp.psc.gov/ccmis/Licensure_m.aspx	December 31, 2018
  eOPF Support Documents	Self-service documents must be uploaded to the eOPF via eDOC-U (ex. Letter of appreciation, Continuing Education)	December 31, 2018

Visit the Readiness Checklist for documents and submission requirements. NOTE: Basic Readiness checks now occur on a MONTHLY basis. Requests for readiness correction should be submitted via the Readiness Assistance Form in RedDOG Self Service by December 31, 2018. NOTE: You must meet all required deadlines for the new PHS 7044-1 Verified Weight Report form and follow the new APFT instructions (new APFT policy effective Oct. 1, 2018).
