DD Form 2912, the official Temporary Quarters Subsistence Expense (TQSE) Sub-Voucher, is the DoD document civilian employees and eligible dependents use during a permanent change of station move. It covers meals, housing, laundry, and daily necessities while awaiting permanent quarters at the new duty station. TQSE must be authorized by the civilian finance organization before occupying temporary quarters. Maximum allowances follow the Joint Travel Regulations based on grade and number of dependents. The standard benefit period is 30 to 60 days depending on circumstances, and a separate sub-voucher must be filed for each 10-day segment.
Itemize daily costs for each period including housing, breakfast, lunch, dinner, laundry, and miscellaneous amounts. Receipts are required for housing and significant meal costs. Submit the completed document with your DD Form 1351-2 Travel Voucher through your human resources or finance office. The remarks section should disclose any overlapping reimbursement requests for the same period. False entries are subject to federal penalties, so verify all amounts before submission.
Before your move, consider using a Military Power of Attorney to authorize others to act on your behalf. Track all spending using a Government Travel Card. Keep organized records and receipts throughout the process so your human resources contact can verify each entry quickly and accurately.
