Fully Paid Household Claims

Week of November 13, 2006

Servicemembers who have household goods damaged or lost during government-directed moves will be reimbursed under a more robust "full replacement value" standard starting by at least March of 2008. Congress set the deadline in the 2007 defense authorization act signed into law Oct. 17. Service advocacy groups had urged the action after the Department of Defense fell behind in implementing "Families First," a personal property program initiative that includes a goal of full replacement value (FRV) reimbursement.
