Funding Your Move Prior to Reimbursement

If your family needs financial assistance to help pay for travel expenses before you are reimbursed, check out these options.

Government Travel Card (GTC)

  • All Airmen on official government travel will be issued a GTC for permissible expenses while on official travel orders. GTCs may not be used while on leave status
  • Unpaid GTC bills charge a $29 late payment fee after it becomes 60 days delinquent. Unpaid GTC bills can impact an airman’s personal credit score. Mission Critical Status prevents GTCs from going delinquent for members in certain situations. Consult your losing unit’s Agency Program Coordinator for details and to be placed in Mission Critical Status prior to departure

Base Pay Advance

  • One-month base pay (minus deductions) can be advanced 30 days prior to departure or 60 days after arrival
  • Review all options before taking a PCS pay advance. This must be paid back within 12 months. Certain situations require your unit commander’s signature. Contact the Finance office for more information

Air Force Aid Society

  • Active-Duty members can apply for a standard loan to assist with pet transportation costs. Members must submit a current LES, a quote of the total cost (not paid) and a budget worksheet. Grants may be authorized based on need
  • Loans are repaid by allotment, usually within 12 months (NTE 24 months)
