Why may supplemental promotion consideration NOT be granted if an error or omission appeared on the DVR or in the SNCO selection record located in the personnel records display application?

• A. The individual did not take the necessary steps to correct the error prior to promotion selection or prior to the evaluation board
• B. The error was automatically corrected by the system
• C. The promotion board ignored the error
• D. The error cannot affect; no action required

Answer: (A)

The vital idea is that you’re responsible for ensuring your official records are accurate before any promotion actions. If there’s an error or omission on the DVR or SNCO selection record in the personnel records display application, supplemental promotion consideration won’t be granted unless you’ve taken the proper steps to correct it before the promotion selection or before the evaluation board.

Records used by boards are relied on as they stand at the time of the review. If you don’t initiate the correction through the designated channels and provide any required documentation before the cutoff, the error remains and cannot be addressed in a late supplemental review. This is why the reason that fits best is that you did not take the necessary steps to fix the error prior to the relevant promotion process.

An automatic correction by the system would remove the barrier, and the board ignoring the error or the belief that the error cannot affect the process aren’t valid bases for granting supplemental consideration, since actions to correct the record are expected to occur beforehand and the possibility of impact on eligibility is real.
