Q. WHAT IS AN ACCRUAL/PARTIAL PAYMENT?
An accrual is a partial payment of TDY expenses incurred when on long-term TDY (over 60 days but
normally less than 139 days). Orders over 139 days are normally PCS.
Q. WHEN SHOULD ONE REQUEST AN ACCRUAL?
An accrual should be requested after 30 days of TDY have elapsed. Each request for an accrual should
indicate the 30 day period being requested : 1st, 2nd. A final settlement is required upon completion of
travel and it is at that time when advances will be collected.
Q. HOW WOULD ONE COMPLETE THE PAPERWORK?
The top of the DD 1351-2 must read “## Accrual”. Complete blocks 1-10 with the required information.
Block 15 (Itinerary) should begin with the 1st TDY day through the 30th day. Block 16 must reflect the
expenses for the 30 days (lodging, rental car, etc.). If a control number has been issued by the billeting
office for use of commercial meals and/or lodging, it should also be placed in block 16. For subsequent
accruals, please attach a copy of all previous payment vouchers.
Q. WHAT DOCUMENTS ARE REQUIRED?
A DD 1351-2 form marked “ACCRUAL” with two copies of: orders, lodging receipts and any items of
expense in excess of $75.00.
