Section 1

Dollar amounts shall be reported by showing the actual dollar figures followed by a decimal point and two zeros; for example, 00018.00 to indicate 18 dollars. There must be leading zeros in the dollar amount. Court-martial forfeitures will be reported immediately after the CA's action has been taken, except when the court-martial sentence also includes a punitive discharge. When the court-martial sentence includes a bad conduct or dishonorable discharge, report the forfeiture as shown in PRIUM Table 7-6.

a.  This transaction may not be used to report courts-martial for Marines on Active Duty. Forfeitures (for Reserve Marines), other than a total forfeiture of pay and allowances or total forfeiture of pay only, will be reported with the following statement:

• [E] ED (Effective Date; never 00000000) (1) When a forfeiture related to a summary court-martial is apportioned over more than 1 month and the amount of the forfeiture is evenly divisible by the number of months, report the statement shown above.

(2) When a forfeiture related to a summary court-martial is apportioned over more than 1 month and the amount of the forfeiture is not evenly divisible by the number of months, the statement shown above will be reported. However, the amount of the monthly forfeiture will be determined by dividing the total amount of the forfeiture by the number of months and rounding that monthly figure to the next higher whole dollar. For example, a total forfeiture of a $50.00 apportioned over a period of 3 months would be reported as follows: FORF 00017.00 FOR 03 MO SCM TOTAL 00050.00 ED

Section 19981101

In this case, $17.00 would be deducted the first and second months and $16.00 the third month. In all cases where apportioned summary court-martial forfeitures are not evenly divisible, the larger amount(s) will be deducted in the first or earlier months, as appropriate.

b.  Reporting total forfeiture of pay and allowances is restricted for use by Headquarters Marine Corps (RUC 548XX). Report as follows:

When reporting these statements, the computer will automatically re-compute the total amount to be forfeited by the Marine. If more than this amount already has been deducted from the Marine's pay, the account will be credited with the appropriate amount.

Per DOD 7000.14-R Financial Management Regulation, Volume 7A, collection of fines will begin on the date the Convening Authority orders execution of the sentence.

(1) Use the appropriate statement from below to report a fine when collection is to be a lump sum. Report the Effective Date of checkage equal to the court-martial date (not the Convening Authority's Date of Action).

Therefore, the Commanding Officer must determine the amount (daily installment) to be collected by pay deduction based on anticipated daily earnings received for IDT and for periods of Active Duty (30 days or less). For Reserve Marines report one of the following statements as appropriate:

• [E] ED (Effective Date, never 00000000) Note: Because the transaction will allow the reporting of an initial installment (prepaid amount not collected via MCTFS), it is important to ensure that the initial installment field is reported as zeros if no monies are collected upfront. If a value is reported in this field by mistake and a remark is built, a DEL AS ERR/DEL ADD transaction will cause the system to credit back money that was never collected.

Section 2

Report any subsequent events/actions affecting a previously reported sentence by submitting results of the action, date, and authority effecting the change.

Section 3

Computer records for Marines in a parole status will be transferred to a Headquarters control RUC/MCC (54982/W93) either by transfer entry or, by reporting a drop/discharge entry if the Marine has been awarded a bad conduct discharge or dishonorable discharge. The discharge entry will contain SDN JJB3 when reported from a field reporting unit (When the discharge is reported by the Commandant of the Marine Corps (MHC), the SDN to report will be JJC3) This will change the record status code in the Central Master File to 'F'. Once the Marine has been released from parole and there is no longer a requirement to monitor the Central Master File from the Commandant of the Marine Corps, the record will be updated by the Commandant of the Marine Corps (MHC), to change the record status code to 'E' to reflect a separated record.  Records transferred to the Commandant of the Marine Corps control RUC or discharged with SDN JJB3 must be in a status of confinement as a result of general court-martial in order for transfer or discharge entry to successfully process.  Use the following logic to determine reporting requirements in MCTFS.  Refer to PRIUM Table 7-5 for assistance in determining which action must be taken.

4. Maintaining court-martial Information. In addition to reporting the sentence of a Marine convicted by a court-martial, the unit also must report court-martial statistical information. The Effective Date is the date the court-martial is adjudged. After processing, this information will be posted to the Marine's Central Master File where it will be permanently retained in MCTFS.
