Hardship Duty Pay – Location (HDP-L)
All service members who are permanently assigned to or serving temporarily as additional duty/temporary duty (TAD/TDY), deployed, or attached status for more than 30 consecutive days in a designated area will be eligible for HDP-L. Eligibility for HDP-L begins on the day of arrival at the new station for service members on permanent reassignment.
Service members temporarily on duty in a designated area are not eligible for HDP-L during the first 30 days of consecutive duty. HDP-L for temporary assignment begins on the 31st day and is payable retroactive to the date the service member reported for duty at the designated location.
HDP-L entitlements will be terminated on the day the service member departs the station as a result of Permanent Change of Station (PCS) reassignment, or on the last day of the effective period. Termination dates may vary based on specific situations as defined by the DoD.
Military Hardship Duty Pay-Mission (HDP-M)
HDP-M is payable to members both officer and enlisted, for performing designated hardship missions. HDP-M is payable at the full monthly rate during any part of which, the member performs a specified mission.
Military Hardship Duty Pay-Tempo (HDP-T)
HDP-T programs are for the mobilization or deployment tempo that requires the member to perform duties in an operational environment for periods that exceed rotation norms. Military Departments determine whether or not to implement HDP-T programs.
Military Hardship Duty Pay-Restriction of Movement (HDP-ROM)
Hardship Duty Pay (HDP-ROM), restriction of movement, is pay that compensates service members who are not currently in a travel status $100 per day, not to exceed $1,500 per month who are ordered to self-isolate.
