• Separations

  Submitting Separations Forms

  Per policy, the deadline for submitting separation requests is 90 days from your projected last physical day at your duty station. If you have not already done so, please review the in-depth retirement and separations information provided in the Commissioned Corps Learning Management System Separations Seminar (CCLMS). We recommend that if you plan to retire, you start the process at least 12-24 months before your projected retirement. The deadline for submitting separation requests is 90 days from your projected last physical day working at your duty station.

  You must log-in to access the seminar and necessary forms for the separation process. Instructions are provided on the Separations Seminar webpage. Information and guidance in the online seminar will help you successfully navigate the retirement and resignation process. The Separations Seminar serves as an invaluable tool for you (and your family) to use.

  Please refer to the list below as a guide to the necessary forms you’ll need to retire or resign.

  • Resigning and Retiring Officers:
    • PHS-1373
    • • Please email to your CC liaison to be forwarded to CCHQ Separations.
      • You are strongly encouraged to view the online tutorial for completing PHS-1373 (time point in recording: 06:33:30 – 07:07:00)
  • Exit Physical (Optional, but highly recommended for Retiring and Resigning Officers):
  • • It’s highly recommended that you submit the following forms 90 days prior to your final day on duty. Officers should upload the forms as a single PDF to the Medical section of the eDOCU portal: Document Type: “Periodic Health Update.” DO NOT MAIL DOCUMENTS. Submitting your documents electronically is faster, more reliable, and speeds the transfer of medical records to the Department of Veterans Affairs.
