AF IMT 100 Form – Request and Authorization for Air Force Separation

What Is the AF IMT 100 Form?

The AF IMT 100 form is the official Air Force Request and Authorization for Separation. It applies to all separation categories: honorable discharge, general discharge, entry-level separation, release from active duty (REFRAD), and retirement. The form is 2 pages long, contains 82 fillable fields, and is authorized under 10 U.S.C. 8013.

The form has four main parts. The first part records personal information: full name, Social Security Number, grade, date of birth, and unit of assignment. The second part documents the type of separation and the regulatory authority for the action. The third part covers post-separation entitlements, including terminal leave days approved, permissive temporary duty (TDY) authorization, and travel allowance to your home of record. The fourth part records your future mailing address and any Special Separation Benefit (SSB) or Voluntary Separation Incentive (VSI) elections.

A Privacy Act Statement on the form explains authorized uses of your personal information. Providing your Social Security Number is voluntary but is required to process pay and entitlements. Both the service member and the authorizing officer must sign the completed form before it can be submitted to the unit personnel office.

Processing time for the AF IMT 100 form typically ranges from 30 to 90 days depending on the type of separation and unit staffing. Entry-level separations (fewer than 180 days of service) are usually processed within 30 days. Retirement actions and separations involving disability review may take longer due to additional coordination required with AFPC. Service members should track their out-processing checklist to confirm the form has been received and entered into the personnel system before their projected departure date.
