Which of the following is NOT an effective status for a Military Decoration award on a Member's Person Profile?

• A. Active
• B. Inactive
• C. Pending
• D. Suspended

Answer: (C)

A Military Decoration on a Member’s Profile should reflect a definite, current state of the award. Active means the decoration is currently earned and displayed; Inactive indicates the award exists but isn’t active on the profile, possibly subject to reactivation; Suspended shows a temporary hold where the decoration is not presently in effect due to an ongoing issue. A Pending status would imply the award has not yet been conferred or finalized, which belongs to the approval workflow rather than the post-award display on the profile. Because the profile is intended to show proven, actionable states, Pending isn’t an appropriate, effective status for a decoration.
