IPPS-A DL HR Professional / Payroll Specialist Practice Exam

Which types of information are displayed in the Service Data tab?

1. Marriage Status, Active Duty Time

2. Discharge Character of Service, Active Federal Service

3. Job Assignments, Performance Reviews

4. Physical Health Records, Security Clearances

The correct answer is: Discharge Character of Service, Active Federal Service

The Service Data tab in the context of the IPPS-A system typically includes critical information related to a service member's time in the military. The selection that reflects this content best includes details such as the Character of Service at discharge and the total duration of Active Federal Service. The Character of Service provides insights into the service member's performance and standing upon leaving the military, which is vital for various administrative purposes, including veteran benefits and re-enrollment considerations. The Active Federal Service data reflects the length of time a service member has been actively serving, which can impact eligibility for certain benefits and career advancements within the military structure. In contrast, other choices present information that does not align with the standard contents of the Service Data tab. For example, marriage status and active duty time, job assignments and performance reviews, or physical health records and security clearances, represent different aspects of personnel management or health recordkeeping within the military but do not correspond specifically to the nature of service history encapsulated in the Service Data tab.
