Which statement is true about IPPS-A and related checks?

• A. IPPS-A does a check for SFPA Flags
• B. All temporary promotion conditions are tied to schooling
• C. IPPS-A does a check for SFPA Flags and all temporary promotion conditions are tied to schooling
• D. IPPS-A does not perform these checks

Answer: (C)

IPPS-A runs automated checks to enforce eligibility before personnel actions move forward. One of these checks looks for SFPA Flags, which flag restrictions or holds on a Soldier’s record that can block actions like promotions until they’re resolved. At the same time, IPPS-A verifies that any temporary promotion has met the required schooling or related prerequisites. In other words, a temporary promotion won’t be approved unless there are no blocking SFPA Flags and the necessary schooling is completed. That combination is why this statement is true: IPPS-A checks SFPA Flags and all temporary promotion conditions are tied to schooling. The other options miss one or both of these points, or suggest no checks occur.
