Finance FAQ
Q: I am In-processing USASD, when can I expect my BAH to change?
Ensure you submit a complete FI In-processing packet in SharePoint in a timely manner in order to prevent PCS debt from occurring. Our Finance Analyst will process your packet, allow 30 days for the BAH to cycle and reflect on your LES. If two paychecks have passed and BAH is still not updated, contact USASD immediately to rectify the issue.
Q: I have not received my PCS Travel Entitlements (e.g. DLA, Per diem, TLE, and reimbursable expenses).
All USASD students/assigned personnel will utilize the smart voucher to submit travel claims. Per USASD Commander’s guidance, all assigned personnel will utilize the smart voucher system to request trave. Average turnaround time for travel entitlement payments is approximately 6-8 weeks. Travel entitlements include Dislocation Allowance (DLA), Travel Per Diem, and Mileage Allowance and Temporary Lodging Expense (TLE).
Q: During my PCS overseas, I incurred hotel costs while awaiting for my apartment to be ready, how do I claim Temporary Lodging Allowance (TLA)?
For an overseas PCS, prior to acquiring lodging or apartment, it is imperative that you visit your local housing office/embassy housing representative for authorization of TLA. Your housing rep will provide you an approved memo authorizing you to stay in a hotel. Submit a copy of the memo, paid receipts and GTCC Statement (only if receipt is not in USD) to the appropriate email inbox.
Q: How do I request for DLA advance?
Due to the mandatory use of GTCC, USASD is not authorized to accept DLA advances per DFAS instruction. However, there are two options you may go about in receiving an advance.
Option 1 – Request a regular PCS advance. You must be within 30 days of signing out from leave. Submit a DD 2560, PCS orders, and approved leave form to the appropriate email inbox
Option 2 – Ensure your GTCC is active, if needed, request a card limit increase and use your card for authorized PCS expenses only. Remember, you are responsible for paying the balance of your card. If you have any questions, email or call our GTCC rep at By Phone: (803) 751-3566/3626/5747/3795. All Students out-processing USASD will have their GTCC placed on Mission Critical Status for a maximum of 120 days to provide students enough time to file their voucher and pay the GTCC balance.

Q: I am not receiving BAH for my location, how can I rectify this issue?
BAH is paid based on what is on your orders (For example, assigned to USASD Fort Jackson, SC 29207 with duty at National Intelligence University, 4600 Sangamore Road, Bethesda, MD 20816) which will be zip code 20816 and not where you are currently living.

In this case, contact USASD’s Military Pay Analysts to have your questions answered.
Q: Am I authorized jump pay/flight pay/special duty assignment pay during my time at school?
USASD Military Pay Analyst will stop your special pay because you are currently in a student status and not performing those functions.

Q: If I’m in a use or lose situation, when is the latest I can submit my request, can I carry over leave?
You should not be in a Use or Lose status at the end of the Fiscal Year (FY), as you are the manager of your leave days. You are to take leave during the FY while you’re assigned to USASD. There should be no reason why you shouldn’t take leave since you get breaks during the semesters, etc. Per AR 600-8-10, leave must be used prior to 01 October every year or it will be lost.
Q: What is the Policy concerning selling back leave?
The only time that Officers may sell back leave is upon retirement or separation from Military Service. Enlisted personnel may sell back leave upon reenlistment or separation from Military Service. The maximum amount of leave that can be sold is 60 days. Regulation is DOD Financial Management Regulation Vol 7A, Chapter 35.
Q: How do I In-Process USASD and sign in off of leave? Do I send orders and my leave form to USASD? Should I sign my DA Form 31 myself? Should I have someone at my location sign my leave form?
Service Members will report (sign in) by sending a copy of their PCS orders and leave form to SharePoint NLT the date specified in the In-Processing Policy, (NLT five duty days after the official report date on your PCS Orders to USASD). Do not send your documents early. Deviations from this standard require prior approval by the USASD Commander. Failure to follow the above reporting policy may result in pay suspension or UCMJ actions. Service Members may sign-in 10 days prior to their report date. For example, if your report date is 1 May 2018, you may sign in on 22 April 2018. Signing in early and going back out on leave exclusively for the purpose of changing your BAH rate is unauthorized! If you would like to sign in 10 days prior to your report date, you must write the sign in date in block 16a, and the time in block 16b. USASD Staff will sign block 16c. If you are attending a service school (example war colleges) that take accountability and sign personnel in from Leave, then that POC can fill out and sign blocks 16a-c. You should not sign yourself in. Request for early arrival in excess of 10 days must be requested in advance through your HRC Programs Manager in coordination with your Branch Manager and approved by the USASD Commander. Only extenuating circumstances are normally approved, such as medical needs, etc. The USASD Commander will send you a Gainful Employment/Early Arrival Memo to obtain all signatures required.
Q: Why do I need to send a DA Form 31 with my In-Processing Packet?
When you sign out of a unit, you must be carried on a PCS DA Form 31 until you sign in at the next unit – even if this is one day (i.e. No Cost Moves). The PCS leave form is required in order to process the packet through Finance and close out the PCS transaction in the MILPAY Systems.
Q: Do I need to call USASD upon receipt of my RFO or PCS Orders for Out-Processing?
No. USASD Staff pulls RFOs daily and starts cutting orders only after a complete Out-Processing packet is received from the Student in SharePoint. The Out-Processing packet should be submitted through the SharePoint within 30 days of receiving your RFO/Assignment Instructions. We strive to return PCS orders and approved leave form within 2 weeks from receipt, based on leave start date and PCS report date.
Q: My PCS orders state “Early Report Authorized” – how early may I sign in?
You may sign in no earlier than (NET) the days stated on your PCS orders. Signing in early and going right back out on leave exclusively for the purpose of changing your BAH rate is not authorized.
Q: What is the process for using approved Permissive TDY (PTDY) for house hunting during PCS movement if there is no military housing office in area?

Permissive TDY will end on the date specified on your DA Form 31, or the date you sign into your new duty station, whichever comes first. USASD does not require a housing stamp on your DA Form 31! The USASD In-Processing staff will sign you in off leave and process your packet IAW your PCS orders and approved leave form PTDY dates.
