PCS Form · DD 1561 (FSA)

Start your Family Separation Allowance — filled and ready to sign.

When the service keeps you away from your dependents for more than 30 days, FSA is a flat monthly allowance you have to apply for. Fill the member section of the DD 1561 here (auto-filled from your move if you're signed in), download the completed official form, then print and sign it for your command.

Tip: sign in to your move and the form auto-fills from your saved details — and remembers them for the next one.

We fill it — you print it, wet-signit, and submit it. There's no e-signature on this form.

Who signs: You certify it; your command/admin verifies and forwards it.
Where it goes: Your admin/PSD, then finance to start the entitlement.

This fills the member section (Part I) of the official DD 1561. The certification checkboxes (8a–g), your signature, and the certifying-officer section are completed by hand — you print it, wet-sign it, and submit it through your command/admin. We never store your SSN.
