USCG Pay and Personnel Center

The United States Coast Guard Pay and Personnel Center (PPC) was established in 1979 in Topeka, Kansas, consolidating several Coast Guard pay and personnel functions to improve efficiency and accuracy. The PPC is responsible for administering payroll, personnel records, and related services for active duty, reserve, and retired Coast Guard members, as well as their families. Over the decades, the center has played a crucial role in implementing new technologies and policies, such as the transition to direct deposit and the integration of modern human resources systems. Through its dedicated support, the PPC has ensured timely and reliable pay and personnel services, contributing significantly to Coast Guard readiness and member morale.
