How to Verify Your Rater Profile in EES

The Army Evaluation Entry System, commonly called EES, supports the preparation, routing, and management of Army evaluation reports. A rater profile is especially important because it helps show how a senior rater’s evaluations are distributed among eligible rated soldiers.

An incorrect rank, rating relationship, profile status, or evaluation history can create confusion during counseling, report preparation, or administrative review. Checking the information early gives you time to resolve discrepancies before a report is finalized or used for a personnel decision.

EES is an administrative system, not a substitute for your servicing S-1, HR professional, or rating chain. Use the system to identify what is recorded, then work through the appropriate official channel when something does not match your assignment or evaluation history.

Understand What The Rater Profile Shows

A rater profile generally reflects the senior rater’s distribution of performance assessments for a specific grade or rating population. Depending on the report type, grade, and system permissions, the profile may display information connected to assessments such as “Most Qualified” or other applicable evaluation choices.

The profile is tied to the rating chain and the reports processed under that chain. It is not simply a personal performance score for the rated soldier. A profile may change as evaluations are completed, accepted, corrected, or officially processed, so the information displayed in EES should be interpreted alongside the report’s status and effective dates.

Sign In And Locate The Relevant Record

Sign in through the authorized Army access route and use your current credentials. EES availability can depend on account permissions, network access, and the role assigned to you in the evaluation workflow. If you cannot see a report or profile that should be available, record the error message and contact the appropriate unit administrator or support channel.

Navigate to the evaluation or rater-profile area available to your account. Review the report associated with the profile rather than relying only on a summary screen. Confirm the rated soldier, report type, grade, rating period, duty position, and the names or roles of the rater and senior rater.

Review The Rating Chain And Dates

Start by comparing the EES rating chain with your approved support form, counseling records, duty appointment, or other official documentation. Check whether the rater and senior rater are assigned to the correct positions and whether the report reflects the proper beginning and ending dates.

Pay close attention to changes caused by a permanent change of station, change of duty, assumption of command, temporary duty, or departure from the unit. A rater profile can appear inconsistent when reports are attached to the wrong grade, rating period, or relationship. These issues should be raised before the evaluation moves further through the workflow.

If the record is connected to a promotion packet, review it alongside your other personnel documents. The guide on promotion board preparation explains why accurate evaluation records matter when assembling supporting documents.

Verify Profile Calculations And Status

After confirming the basic report information, examine the profile-related fields shown in EES. Look for the senior rater’s grade, the applicable profile population, the number of completed evaluations, and the distribution of recorded assessments, if those details are available to your role.

Also check whether the evaluation is draft, signed, returned, submitted, accepted, or otherwise complete. A draft report or recently corrected report may not yet appear in a finalized profile calculation. Do not assume that a missing entry proves the report was lost; processing, signatures, system synchronization, or administrative review may still be pending.

Item To Verify	Why It Matters	Appropriate Follow-Up
Rated soldier and grade	Confirms the report belongs to the correct population	Compare with official personnel records
Rater and senior rater	Establishes the correct rating chain	Notify the rating chain or S-1 of discrepancies
Rating period	Determines whether the report belongs in the profile	Check duty history and evaluation dates
Report status	Shows whether the evaluation is still moving through processing	Allow required actions or request status assistance
Profile distribution	Helps identify how the assessment is counted	Ask the senior rater or HR professional to clarify
Signatures and corrections	Confirms required actions are complete	Resolve rejected, returned, or unsigned items

Compare EES With Official Documents

EES should be checked against the documents you already maintain. Useful comparison records may include the support form, counseling statements, evaluation copies, assignment orders, duty descriptions, and documents stored in iPERMS when applicable.

Look for differences in names, rank, dates, duty title, unit, and rating relationship. A small data-entry error can affect routing or cause a report to be associated with an incorrect profile. Save or print permitted records according to Army information-handling rules, and keep notes showing when you reviewed the entry.

If an evaluation has already been processed but is missing from another personnel system, treat that as a separate records issue. For administrative timelines involving other Army personnel actions, the discussion of AER processing times illustrates why processing stages and receiving offices should be tracked separately.

Resolve Errors Through The Rating Chain

The fastest resolution often begins with the rater, senior rater, or unit HR professional. Provide a concise description of the discrepancy, identify the affected report, and attach only the documents needed to support the correction. Avoid changing information informally when the correction requires action by an authorized participant in the evaluation workflow.

A returned or rejected report may need to be corrected and resubmitted through EES. If the issue concerns a rating relationship, evaluation responsibility, or profile interpretation, ask the senior rater and servicing S-1 to review the matter together. Keep copies of correspondence and note submission dates in case follow-up is required.

Use these practical checks during each review:

• Confirm the report type, grade, and rating period before examining the profile.
• Compare the rater and senior-rater information with official duty documentation.
• Check whether required signatures and workflow actions are complete.
• Record error messages, dates, and ticket numbers when requesting assistance.
• Escalate unresolved discrepancies through the chain of command and servicing HR office.

Keep A Record Of The Verification

A single review may not be enough when a report is still moving through approval or correction. Recheck the profile after required signatures, resubmission, or administrative acceptance, especially when the evaluation is needed for a board packet, reassignment, or separation processing.

Maintain a personal chronology of the report’s key events, including counseling dates, signature dates, returned actions, corrections, and confirmation of final processing. Protect the information in accordance with Army policy and avoid sending evaluation records through unapproved channels.

When the profile and supporting records agree, retain the authorized copy of the completed evaluation and continue monitoring your personnel file. If they do not agree, begin with the documented discrepancy and route it to the officials responsible for correcting the record.

Sign in to EES, review the rating chain and profile details carefully, and address any mismatch through your rater, senior rater, or servicing S-1 before it affects an important personnel action.
