Employees departing the National Weather Service are required to complete a CD-126 as part of the exit clearance process. Improper processing of clearance information can lead to delays in receiving a final pay check and/or indebtedness to the Government.

Attached is a sample CD-126 for your staff to use as a guide. Complete all blocks on the front with the exception of Imprest Funds (no longer required). Note, in addition to the two blocks on the back requiring attention, a third block, “Computer Access,” is checked. The completed W/CFO31 User Account Clearance Form (attached) must accompany the CD-126 to meet Computer Access clearance requirements for signature.

Employees with a Citibank Government Travel Card should deliver the card to Beth Downs when requesting her signature on the CD-126 along with the Government Purchase Travel Card Maintenance Form located on the website below under Travel Card Forms:

http://www.nws.noaa.gov/cfo/tpc/travel_card_program.htm

Please allow ample time before separation to clear the form. Increased work loads and Alternate Work Schedule days need to be taken into consideration and the process initiated before the last work day. Only blocks 1, 2, and the Security block on the back should remain blank until the final day. Bring the form to W/CFO3, Betty Dodds, 18313. In her absence Nicholas Leivers or Nicholas Scheller will sign off and retain the employee’s building pass and any outstanding keys or key cards.

If you have additional questions, you can reach Betty via email or tty by dialing 9-711, 301-608-0889.
