Are you financially ready for your next move?

To further ease the process of Permanent Change of Station (PCS) moves, the Secretary has directed the Department to:

Permanently increase standard TLE maximum coverage from 10 to 14 days for CONUS moves and allow up to 60 days of TLE if a service member is in a specified Military Housing Area with a housing shortage, to take effect in October 2022.

Increase the Dislocation Allowance (DLA) for E-1 to E-6 service members, to further help offset personal expenses for PCS moves. DLA payments for all service members will be paid automatically one month prior to their move date to pre-empt out-of-pocket expenses. This will take effect in October 2022.
