Needs and Uses: DoD Instruction (DoDI) 1342.24, "Transitional Compensation (TC) for Abused Dependents," establishes policy in accordance with section 1059 of Title 10, United States Code. In order to validate eligibility for the benefit and to ensure payment to the appropriate claimant, the Services obtain information from the abused dependents or their legal representative. This includes personal identifiable information such as name, social security numbers, dates of birth, etc. In order to collect this information, DoDI 1342.24 directs the Service representatives to use DD Form 2698, "Application for TC." The potential claimant travels to the office of the Service representative at the closest military installation. The Service representative provides the potential claimant with a blank hard-copy of DD Form 2698 to ensure they meet the eligibility requirements for the pay, identify the number of dependent children in the payee's custody, and obtain the current address of the eligible dependent(s) or their legal representative. The claimant will complete Section I and the Service representative will complete Sections II and III of DD Form 2698. The form is then scanned and sent electronically via secure email to Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) to complete Section IV. Once confirmation of eligibility is made by DFAS, the claimant will begin receiving benefits. All records, both electronic and hard-copy, are filed/stored on a secure database and/or in a secure workspace in accordance with DoD records management protocol.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Frequency: As required.
