Financial Assistance

Very few people have ever made money from a permanent change of station move. Generally, there will be more expenses than you will be reimbursed for.

You may have to buy and/or register new vehicles, put down first and last month's rent, restock your pantry, buy curtains, pay utility deposits and more. It is best to begin planning for your move financially at least six months before you move. Try to anticipate your expenses and put away money.

Above all, do not get Advance Pay and spend it on a vacation or buying spree. That money is just an advance and will have to be repaid. When you get to your new home, you may end up in financial trouble. You may get assistance with planning your move financially and dealing with financial problems from the Military and Family Readiness Center.
