Family Separation Allowance
A servicemember with dependents is entitled to a family
separation allowance (FSA) of $250 per month. This is in addition
to any per diem or other entitlements such as family separation housing
allowance presuming that:
- Movement of dependents to the permanent
duty station at Government
expense is not authorized. This presupposes that the dependents do not already live at or
near that station
- The member is on duty on board a ship
away from the home port of the ship for a period of
more than 30 continuous days
- The member is on temporary duty away
from the permanent duty station for a continuous period of more
than 30 days and the dependents do not live at or near the temporary
duty station
Servicemembers that choose to serve an unaccompanied
tour of duty at a permanent duty station where the movement of
dependents at Government expense is authorized, are not entitled to
the family separation allowance under the first condition noted above.
In situations where servicemembers are married to other servicemember, family separation
allowance is authorized for one member if the members
were residing together immediately before the separation.
