In CPPA, what would trigger a review of a service member’s tax withholdings?

• A. Error reports, changes in withholding elections, or updates to dependence or status.
• B. Routine, annual payroll processing without any changes.
• C. A change in duty station only.
• D. Completion of a medical examination.

Answer: (A)

The thing being tested is what events prompt CPPA to review a service member’s tax withholdings. The best pick is that a review is triggered by error reports, changes in withholding elections, or updates to dependents or status. These situations directly affect how much tax is withheld: errors need correction, changes in elections adjust withholding amounts, and updates to dependents or status (like new dependents, marriage, or other status changes) change the calculation used to withhold.

Routine annual payroll processing without any changes doesn’t prompt a review because nothing in the withholding data has changed. A change in duty station by itself isn’t listed as a trigger for withholding review in this context, and completing a medical examination doesn’t affect tax withholdings.
