6 Nov 13 - Priority Placement Program (PPP)

Question:  Please explain the process of the Priority Placement Program (PPP)?

Answer:  As a DA Civilian travels overseas to another position or relocates with their Soldier spouse, they are placed on the PPP list.  If the employee takes a position overseas, the agency cannot hire a permanent employee against that position.  Employees have return rights to a position equal or lesser grade than their position when they originally departed.  when they return, they can go back to that position or take another position elsewhere.  If they do not take the position, they are removed from the PPP list.  If you have specific concerns, please consult CPAC.
