Entitlement codes in CPPA are used to represent which of the following?

• A. Only base pay components
• B. Temporary travel allowances
• C. Tax withholdings only
• D. Special pays and other entitlements to be calculated

Answer: (D)

Entitlement codes in CPPA tell the payroll system which non-base pay items to calculate for a member. They flag special pays and other entitlements so the system knows to include them in the pay calculation each cycle. This goes beyond base pay components and isn’t limited to temporary travel allowances or to tax withholdings alone. The codes exist to indicate that these various entitlements—such as special pays, housing or other allowances, and similar payments—should be calculated and paid.
