Can IDP and HFP be received at the same time?

Can IDP and HFP be received at the same time?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only during PCS
• D. Only during deployment

Answer: (B)

IDP and HFP are both danger-related pays, but they’re treated as mutually exclusive. The pay system doesn’t allow stacking multiple hazard pays for the same time period, so you can’t receive both at once. When you’re in a location that qualifies for one, that pay applies for that period, and you won’t also receive the other. If circumstances change, you would receive the applicable pay for the new period, but not concurrently.
