Which SSIC is the most appropriate for General Separation Records?

• A. 1830
• B. 1900
• C. 3120
• D. 5400

Answer: (B)

The SSIC system organizes records by broad subject areas, and actions affecting personnel fall under the 1900 series. General separation records are about personnel actions—discharges, retirements, and leaving active duty—so placing them in the 1900 range keeps them with other personnel files and ensures consistent retention, retrieval, and handling policies. The other numbers point to different topics entirely, so they wouldn’t properly categorize separation actions.
