Move-In Allowance (MIA)

Transit allowance for dependents is 3⁄4 the member's applicable rate for each dependent age 12 or older, and 1⁄2 the member's rate for each dependent under age 12. Transit allowance is tied to the U.S. GSA per diem rate or the corresponding Non-Standard Area rate for Hawaiʻi in the case of intra-state relocation.
