Which components are typically adjusted during a PCS move?

• A. Health insurance premiums only.
• B. Travel miles.
• C. Uniform allowance only.
• D. Changes to location-based entitlements and housing allowances.

Answer: (D)

When you PCS, the part that typically changes is anything tied to where you’re stationed. Location-based entitlements, especially housing allowances, are recalculated for the new duty location because local housing costs vary from place to place. So changes to location-based entitlements and housing allowances are the adjustments you’d expect with a move. Health insurance premiums generally stay with the plan rather than the move, travel miles aren’t an entitlement recalculated due to relocation, and uniform allowances are set by policy and don’t automatically shift because you’ve changed stations.
