Temporary lodging allowance is authorized for the cost associated
with occupying temporary lodging upon arrival. It is authorized for a period of
up to 30 days. Claims for TLA are filed through the finance office. Once the
paperwork is received, military pay will add the payment to your next paycheck.
Military Pay needs the following documents to reimburse you for TLA: completed
AF Form 1357, lodging receipt, and 3 copies of PCS orders - every time you file
for TLA.
The housing allowance is available from the Per Diem, Travel
and Transportation Allowance Committee's Web Site.
