Which item is not typically included as a PCS entitlement?

• A. Travel allowances
• B. Shipment of household goods
• C. Per diem
• D. Family relocation bonuses

Answer: (D)

When moving under PCS, you’re typically covered by standard entitlements that address the basic costs of relocation: travel allowances to get to the new duty station, shipment of household goods to the new location, and per diem to cover lodging and meals during the move. A family relocation bonus isn’t part of that standard package. It isn’t guaranteed and is usually discretionary, offered under specific programs or circumstances rather than as a routine entitlement for every PCS move. So the item that isn’t typically included is the family relocation bonus. The other items—travel allowances, shipment of household goods, and per diem—are standard parts of a PCS relocation.
