What does 37 USC 407 entitle a member to annually?

• A. One dislocation allowance per fiscal year
• B. A housing allowance
• C. A clothing allowance
• D. A travel stipend per trip

Answer: (A)

Dislocation Allowance is the benefit described in 37 U.S.C. 407. It’s specifically to help cover the costs of moving when a member changes a permanent duty station. The statute provides one dislocation allowance per fiscal year, so a member is entitled to this amount once in each fiscal year in which a relocation occurs. This is different from a housing allowance (which offsets ongoing housing costs at the new duty station), a clothing allowance (for uniforms or apparel), or a travel stipend per trip (payable for travel rather than for a relocation). The DLA amount varies by factors like rank and whether there are dependents, and it is paid as a lump sum to assist with moving expenses.
