For a member with one dependent, what percentage of TLE reimbursement is applicable?

The percentage of Temporary Lodging Expense (TLE) reimbursement applicable to a service member with one dependent is 65%. This percentage reflects the Department of Defense's established guidelines for reimbursing service members for the costs of lodging while they are being assigned to a new duty station.

Understanding TLE is important, as it is designed to help cover living expenses incurred during a permanent change of station (PCS). The reimbursement percentage varies based on the number of dependents. For one dependent, the 65% rate is specifically set to provide adequate financial support while accounting for the additional costs that may arise from having a family member accompany the service member during the transition.

While the other percentages may correspond to different scenarios or multiple dependents, for a member with just one dependent, the correct percentage to be applied is indeed 65%. This ensures that service members are fairly compensated during the often stressful and financially demanding period of relocating for military orders.
