Allowances: Family Separation Allowance
Service members assigned or deployed to places outside the U.S. and Alaska, where the government will not move families, face dozens of extra expenses, from the cost of minor home repairs and yard work to babysitting and mailing packages.
Family Separation Allowance, a nontaxable monthly payment of $250, is provided as reimbursement for at least some of the daily expenses incurred when members are separated from their families.
Service members deployed away from their families for more than 30 days get this allowance.
Congress increased the monthly allowance from $100 to $250 in 2003.
