I know it is a $142 per diem allowance when traveling with personally owned vehicle for hotel and meals. However, do they pay extra for spouse also. It refers to a 75% additional amount for each dependent. I'm assuming this would be an additional $106.50. Can anyone confirm? Thanks!
What is travel allowance when medically separating in POV?

I have the same question. I am clearing this week, hopefully Tues. and I can ask this question to Finance as I clear. I have the exact same question. I will return and report.
Thanks, looking forward to what you find out. Also,wondering if need to save all receipts while traveling. Do you automatically get the $142 daily or only the exact amount you incur in expenses.
Dependent travel.
Accompanied by Service Member
Service members are authorized dependent PCS travel and transportation allowances when completing a PCS move including:
If the dependents moved to the new duty station and were not accompanied by the service member, a separate DD 1351-2 must be submitted for the dependents’ period of travel. When submitting a separate DD 1351-2, be sure to include all lodging receipts (regardless of amount) and receipts for any reimbursable expense exceeding $75.
Per Diem Allowances:
Per diem for the dependent traveling with Service Member:
Accompanied by Service Member
Service members are authorized dependent PCS travel and transportation allowances when completing a PCS move including:
- Transportation-in-kind plus per diem
- Reimbursement for common carrier transportation procured at personal expense plus per diem
- MALT for POC Travel, plus per diem for the required travel days between authorized points.
- Note: MALT is used as mileage reimbursement for service members and their dependents during a PCS move. When a member and dependents relocate on a service member’s PCS move, MALT reimbursement is authorized for two POCs, if used. MALT is paid on a per mile basis for the official distance of each portion of the travel. The MALT Rate per authorized POC is $.20/mile for PCS travel beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2019.
If the dependents moved to the new duty station and were not accompanied by the service member, a separate DD 1351-2 must be submitted for the dependents’ period of travel. When submitting a separate DD 1351-2, be sure to include all lodging receipts (regardless of amount) and receipts for any reimbursable expense exceeding $75.
Per Diem Allowances:
Per diem for the dependent traveling with Service Member:
- 75% of the member’s per diem rate for each dependent age 12 or older;
- and 50% of the member’s per diem rate for each dependent under age 12.
- One Dependent Traveling Separately. The dependent is authorized the same per diem rate the member would have been authorized for travel (100% per diem).
- Two or More Dependents Traveling Separately. When two or more dependents travel together but separate from the member, the member is authorized per diem at a rate of:
- 100% for one dependent, age 12 or older; and
- 75% for each of the other dependents, age 12 or older, traveling with that dependent; and
- 50% for each dependent under age 12, traveling with that dependent.
Thank you!
Hello soldieradvocate,
You are welcome...
The info I posted came directly from the references I cited earlier in this thread.
You probably saw: "...and receipts for any reimbursable expense exceeding $75."
I think it was $25 when I computed travel claims 40-50 years ago or so.
Dependents include the spouse. So...if traveling separately, "

Well I just got out of my finance brief and I got a little different information. oh well. My wife and I will be reimbursed at a rate of 120$/day. We get .17, not .20 cents per mile (per POV). For our dependents, we got 75% of our amount (both are over 12).
My question, and I forgot to ask them, is how many days am I authorized? Our trip is just over 1200 miles, and I think the max or recommended max is 350 miles a day. So, that takes us to exactly 3.5 days. Does this round up to four? Or do I have to squeeze our trip in 3 days. Anyone know?
