End of Military Service

 

Members separating or retiring from active duty are entitled to reimbursement of relocation expenses.  Read about these entitlements to be sure the final claim is correct.

In some cases, members use leave prior to their expiration of time in service (ETS)/Separation or Retirement date. Travel is paid to the transition point, the location where the out-processing takes place, prior to the ETS/Separation or Retirement date. All other entitlements cannot be paid until after the actual date of the ETS/Separation or Retirement.

Note:  The reviewer signature is not required.
