DD Form 2675 PDF Details

DD Form 2675, titled Reimbursable Adoption Expenses, is an official Department of Defense form used by military service members to request reimbursement for qualified adoption-related costs. Active-duty and reserve component personnel pursuing adoption may use this form to apply for support through the DoD Adoption Reimbursement Program, which provides financial assistance to eligible military families.

Who Is Eligible to Submit

Active-duty service members across all branches of the military - Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard - may submit this form. Reserve and National Guard members on qualifying active-duty orders may also be eligible. Both the service member and a qualifying spouse must provide personal information along with adoption documentation. Eligibility is based on the member's active service status at the time of the adoption placement.

What Adoption Expenses Are Covered

Service members may request reimbursement for a broad range of adoption-related expenses, including:

• Legal fees and attorney costs related to the adoption process
• Court costs and official filing fees
• Home study and background investigation fees
• Placement agency fees and adoption processing costs
• Foreign adoption and document translation fees

Original receipts and supporting documents must be retained for all claimed expenses. Amounts already reimbursed by private insurance, a federal tax credit, or another government program cannot be claimed again on this form.

Reimbursement Limits and Processing

The Department of Defense sets limits on the total reimbursement amount per adoption. Service members should contact their personnel support resources or unit finance department to verify current reimbursement caps, submission instructions, and required supporting documentation. Processing times may vary by branch, command, and installation.
