Starting TAP

Congressional policy requires all service members start TAP NLT 365 days prior to the anticipated separation date.

Guard/Reservists: Coming off AD orders (T10) of 180 days or more are required to complete TAP
MEB: Start TAP as soon as being placed in MEB status
Reenlisting: The original ETS must still be used to determine when to start TAP. The intent to reenlist does not exempt from starting TAP within 365 days prior to ETS.
Wounded, Ill, or Injured: Work through your Recovery Care Coordinator (RCC) or contact us directly.

Your entry point into TAP

The mandatory 4 hr IC and PreSep class is your entry point to the rest of TAP. You will receive a scheduled date and instructions when we process your self-assessment. PreSep is an introduction of services and entitlements and is designed to help you begin planning for your transition. The rest of TAP and access to the remaining classes will take place in PreSep.
