For more information contact your local Personal Property Office. Moves You no longer need receipts, but you should provide a signed list of expenses incurred, e.g., rental costs, toll costs, etc., with your claim. The list of expenses is to defray the amount of income taxes on your DITY move income. There are no more vehicle restrictions - all vehicles qualify. Certified weight tickets are still required for incentive payments on all claims.
Sailors can now use a toll-free hotline to check on the status of their DITY move claims.
Call the toll-free number to find out if and when your claim was received, when the claim was processed, the amount of a refund check, if warranted and when the check was mailed. Online counseling is under development to enable Sailors to get counseling and complete an application for shipment without going to a Personal Property Shipping Office. Beepers The Personal Property Shipping Office has two hours to contact the Sailor for direct delivery of the household goods at the destination or the shipment goes into temporary storage. Beepers are now being issued at all FISCs and numerous Personal Property Shipping Offices worldwide to eliminate the storage requirement. When the carrier calls to report the shipment has arrived, the service member is beeped and has two hours to get home to receive his property and avoid storage.
