What reimbursement percentage is allotted for additional dependents aged 12 and over under TLE?

The reimbursement percentage allotted for additional dependents aged 12 and over under the Temporary Lodging Expense (TLE) program is set at 35%. This percentage reflects the government's policy to assist service members with lodging costs incurred during certain periods of relocation. The reasoning behind this allocation is to provide necessary financial support for families that may have additional lodging expenses when they have dependents requiring accommodations while transitioning to a new duty station.

In the context of TLE, it's important for service members to understand how these percentages are calculated and the overall benefits available to them. The chosen percentage is designed to help ensure that military families are adequately supported during times of relocation, recognizing the increased demands and potential costs that come with caring for older children.
