What is Dislocation Allowance (DLA)?
Dislocation Allowance (DLA) is an allowance given to service members during military moves to assist with expenses you incur while relocating.
The allowance is a flat rate, meaning you don’t have to turn receipts. The amount is based on pay grade, and whether or not the service member has dependents.
Beginning in 2019, you may request an advance of your DLA to reduce the pressures of your move. Since this is going to be a cash disbursement, we recommend utilizing it for such things as deposits, earnest monies when you are buying a home, or other expenses that require you to have cash!
It’s important for us to note that not every move will result in a disbursement of DLA. For example, retirees and separating service members aren’t authorized this allowance. And, you can only get the allowance once per fiscal year.
