Can you claim it for a delayed payment? I've been stuck with a coast to coast move + a 5 week TAD + TLA on my card for five months now to the tune of almost 10K. Finally was able to submit the claim and PSD says up to two months to process. I don't remember service being this slow in the past.

Interest on a travel claim
- Thread starter S.O.B.
- Start date
Actually according to he JFTR if it takes longer than 30 days you are allowed to claim interest. I don't remember the section off the top of my head but it's in there. You have to get a copy of your credit card statement and can only claim interest associated with TAD charges obviously. (Not personal stuff that might already be on there.) Kinda handy to have a card that has nothing on it until you need to travel to make things simple.
I wish my PCS travel claim only took 5 weeksMine was roughly 7 months, lost claims, letter of indebtedness to the command (saying I was overpayed, and did not submit claim on time)..... grrrr......
That's ridiculous! Can you imagine if 04s get this kind of service how are they treating E4s?
I went in and brought up that point, among others. I could type a long winded angry post, but the PSD system in my eyes has been seriously broken for many years. They lost sight of the fact that they should be customer oriented, but instead seek ignore JTFR timelines and entitlements, to the detriment of the average sailor. I am speaking broad scope here, I am sure there is the fabled unicorn (perfect PSD) out there (ha!), but I have never experienced it.
Kuwait, money in your account on average in 4 days. All you have to do is a GSA/IA in order to get that kind of customer experience!
Interesting thought...
Take 2 or 3 months and in the justification put the slow reimbursment we speak of here. IMO, it should be good enough to get it with that alone (on the rare times you have a CO actually question you when you take advanced pay)
At least on our side if it comes out of squadron funds (most TAD for schools falls under that) reimbursement is fast as it gets approved at the squadron level. PCS/TECOM/higher......lemme get back to you on that.
TAD travel is easy and I've actually become a fan of DTS but for PCS travel you have to deal with the dream team at PSD.

I have a similar question along these lines. I PCS'd from San Diego to Pensacola in March and was told that since I have follow on orders to Whiting I can't submit my travel claim until after I finally get to Whiting which could be a really long time. I'm still receiving San Diego BAH and to complicate things, for some strange reason, I all of a sudden starting receiving flight pay back dated to last October when I redesignated. I've been putting these overpayments into a savings account because I know I'll wind up giving it back. I talked to PSD over a month ago and no action has been taken. Any ideas on how I should proceed. The last thing I want is to wind up with some type of penalty. Any ideas?
