DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Office of the Secretary 

Military Pay Allotment Policy Change 

Notice 

AGENCY: Under Secretary of Defense 

(Comptroller), DoD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Secretary of Defense 

approved establishment of policy that 

prohibits the use of discretionary 

military pay allotments to acquire 

personal property. His purpose in doing 

so is to eliminate one mechanism that 

predatory lenders use to take advantage 

of service members who finance 

purchases using the military pay 

allotment system. 

To address predatory practices, the 

changes will prohibit active duty service 

members from establishing new 

allotments for the purchase, lease, or 

rental of vehicles (e.g., an automobile, 

motorcycle, or boat); appliances or 

household goods (e.g., a washer, dryer, 

or furniture); electronics (e.g., a laptop, 

tablet, cell phone, or television); or 

other consumer items that are tangible 

and movable. This change is effective 

January 1, 2015. 

DATES: The policy change becomes 

effective January 1, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Written questions may be 

mailed to: Office of the Under Secretary 

of Defense (Comptroller), Attention: 

Director, Resource Issues, 1100 Defense 

Pentagon, Washington, DC 20301–1100. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

further information, please contact Ms. 

Sandra V. Richardson, Director, 

Resource Issues, Office of the Under 

Secretary of Defense (Comptroller), 1100 

Defense Pentagon, Washington, DC 

20301–1100, 

sandra.v.richardson.civ@mail.mil, (703) 

697–7150. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Allotments remain authorized for 

service member payments to 

dependents and relatives, payment of 

premiums for insurance, repayment of 

indebtedness to the U.S. Government, 

mortgages, savings or other deposit 

accounts (for other than the prohibited 

purposes described above), and for 

Combined Federal Campaign charitable 

contributions, among other things. 

Existing allotments involving the 

purchase, lease, or rental of personal 

property may remain in effect and the 

amount of such allotments may be 

changed. This policy change does not 

affect military retiree or Department of 

Defense civilian employee allotments. It 

affects active duty service members 

only. 

This policy will be incorporated in 

the next published update to DoD 

Financial Management Regulation, 

Volume 7A, Chapters 40 and 42. 

Authority: 10 U.S.C. 113. 

Dated: November 24, 2014.

by the customer or by phone, which 

allows the Exchange to contact the 

customer for special events, sales, 

address customer complaints as well as 

provide information about shopping at 

the Exchange. The information provides 

valuable data to the Exchange, which is
