You are in the military, and it seems you are constantly on the move. While this can be an exciting time for you and your family, it can also be stressful. So stressful, in fact that moving follows death and divorce as the most stressful life events. Sure, you are going to get to experience new destinations, cultures, and people; however, you first need to get you and your household to that new place.

You do have benefits that cover moving due to your military status. One of these is the help provided by full DITY move or military move benefits. DITY is a Department of Defense term that means a “personally procured move.”

The military full dity move program reimburses service members for their moves. They can receive up to 100 percent of the Government Constructive Cost of the move if they hire professional overs. About 95 percent of a full DITY move can be covered if you choose to do the move yourself.

There are many expenses that are covered by these full DITY move benefits. They include the rental of a truck or trailer, the cost of packing materials; and the rental of packing blankets and furniture pads. Other moving costs that can be reimbursed include gas, oil and toll fees for a rental truck. The authorized and reimbursable methods of a full DITY move include your personal vehicle, privately owned trailers, or higher a commercial moving company that provides the “you load, they drive” method of moving, as well as shipments via parcel post.

If you make a full DITY move, you will actually have more time to make the move than you would if the government handles your move. This may be beneficial if you have children in school and need extra time to make that transfer.

There is a full process that you need to go through for your full DITY move that includes using a DITY move calculator and following DITY move regulations. You will need to be aware of all these forms and regulations to ensure that you receive your reimbursement. For instance, you should be aware that after you have completed your full DITY move, you only have 45 days to submit a claim for payment.
