Military members who must relocate have the option of moving their belongings themselves and being reimbursed by the government for their work. A military do it yourself or dity move is a volunteer program with certain dity move regulations. If you are facing a relocation and are considering the option of doing it yourself, there are several key points to consider.
First of all, military family centers offer a Relocation Assistance Program that provides valuable information on the moving process. The dity move program is only one program that provides assistance with moving. Other programs, such as a Government Bill of Lading can help with shipping some household goods. The dity program can be used in conjunction with this and other programs. In other words, a full dity move can be covered by one or more than one program.
Dity moves are covered by insurance, provided by the government. This coverage is 25,000 dollars. However, it is considered the responsibility of the people moving or the moving company hired to properly pack and transport the belongings. If items are lost or damaged during the move, the government is not responsible.
While military moving may be a difficult process, there are programs that make it easier. Among these programs, the dity option may be a useful one to take advantage of. The key is understanding what programs are a good fit for you and your family. Understanding the dity move regulations can help you make a more informed decision about a move.

Its useful to know that the move doesnt have to be paid from from just one program. The option to use more than one gives it a little more flexibility.
