Assistance and entitlements for military moves: criteria
Assistance with the reimbursement of military moving expenses is available to all military personnel. A number of criteria are taken into account when determining the amount of assistance:
- Length of service
- Family situation
- Volume to be moved
In addition, you should be aware that some financial assistance is available exclusively to defense and armed forces personnel. We recommend that you contact your unit for further information.
The aid and rights dedicated to military relocation: the right to cubage
The cubage entitlement is a threshold defined by the Ministry of the Armed Forces and corresponds to the maximum volume limit taken into account when reimbursing the military for the move. Therefore, when calculating the entitlement to a cubage, several factors are taken into account: the member’s seniority, his family situation, the number of dependent children and the number of children with access rights. With the PFMD Muter Loger, you can estimate your cubing rights in just a few clicks.
The aid and rights dedicated to military relocation: the real volume
With the PFMD Muter Loger, access a free volume simulator to calculate your m3 volume. Simple to use, you will simply need to fill in your furniture, room by room, to get your volume. Beyond this online simulation, with the PFMD Muter Loger, a moving expert travels to your home, anywhere in the world, to perform a technical visit to define your actual volume, which will be taken into account in the moving quotes.
The aid and rights dedicated to military relocation: the reimbursement ceiling
The reimbursement limit is the maximum amount that will be reimbursed to the member. Indeed, this is calculated according to several parameters: your age, the volume of the move (corresponding to the must to cubage), the distance traveled between the place of departure and the place of arrival (in km), a coefficient depending on the volume and potential surcharges related to floors, carrying or lift for example. With the PFMD Muter Loger, you can estimate your refund limit in just a few clicks. You can also benefit from the assistance of a moving expert. All our relocation experts are trained and qualified to manage professional transfers in the defence fields.
