View Full Version : Reimbursement for Hotel when PCSing?
MIKOSWIFEY 10-04-2007, 04:11 PM When is your reimbursement for the 10 days you're allowed in a hotel supposed to come in? We gave them all our receipts, still no reimbursement and it's been about a month. Is it random? Do we need to call if it's not here by the 15th? I hate this bs with reimbursement. They should give you a card that the hotel can just use to charge the military directly. We spent over 1k on hotel stay, and only about 650 is reimbursable.
MelissaMc424 10-04-2007, 04:16 PM Check with Finance.. ours took a month and a half to come in, and DH had to have the person at PSD (our finance) resubmit the paperwork 3 times before we finally got our money.
MIKOSWIFEY 10-04-2007, 04:19 PM Ugh I was afraid of them screwing it up. Thanks Melissa!
rosebud* 10-04-2007, 04:31 PM the only time you get hotel reimbursement is when you check out of your current housing and need to stay in a hotel or you check into housing and need to stay in a hotel. for on the drive hotels that is supposed to be covered in the travel they give you. ( i can't remember how much it is, something like 10 days up to 180 a day or something like that. )
MIKOSWIFEY 10-04-2007, 04:34 PM No they (travel and finance both) told us we were getting reimbursed for 10 days.

We were reimbursed for both nights in the hotel while in transit and 4 nights in the Navy Lodge, his plane ticket from Great Lakes to TX, and food/gas... Our hotel reimbursement was submitted as part of our travel pay (since PSD screwed our Travel Pay and we got less than 1/3 of what we should have before the trip out here)
rosebud* 10-04-2007, 04:38 PM :shrug I know when I asked dh about it, he said hotels during travel were supposed to come out of the advance they give you. the 10 days is for hotel use when you are not traveling but still in transit. i even made him ask the finance guy.
MIKOSWIFEY 10-04-2007, 04:39 PM yeah we didnt bother with food or gas etc, since it was only a 4 hr drive. They for sure are reimbursing us the 10 days though.
Do they reimburse the deposits you put down on utilities? Someone mentioned you can get those reimbursed.

I've never heard of them reimbursing that, because it's your "option" to have utilities... You know how the military is.
MIKOSWIFEY 10-04-2007, 04:41 PM it was after we got to Augusta, Rosebud so it wasn't incl in transit, it's after we got here and had to find a place to live in. That's what you were saying right? I might be misunderstanding you.

Not sure what she meant, but my in transit meant the trip out here (travel time) being in the Lodge is kinda different, since he was checked into his command.

yes.. if you have to stay in a hotel after you get to your destination.. or before you leave your previous destination. that counts in the 10 day hotel reimbursement. sorry I keep repeating myself today.. it's a disease I can't stop it. :giggle
MIKOSWIFEY 10-04-2007, 04:44 PM LOL ok you were making me paranoid. I hope they reimburse it soon because we got a HELL of a cell phone bill the last 2 months. :lmao
