. In accordance with policy, the HASC will have stipulated the requirement for
accommodation on the SSFA Application Form 1132A and will have approved
properties prior to these being shown to the applicant by the Contractor. As
such, appeals concerning entitlement (as in size, specification and location of
property) are to be referred to the appropriate HASC and elevated as necessary
within the DIO Ops Accommodation chain of command, or, if appropriate, the
MOD Project Manger.
c. The HASC or MOD Project Manager will liaise with the MOD Contractor’s
Operational Service Liaison Manager in order to decide whether a further
search for properties is justified.
d. If the HASC and the MOD Project Manager deem that all of the properties
shown meet the entitlement, the applicant will be required to choose a property.
Failure to choose a property will be treated exactly as if the Service person had
rejected the HASC’s offer of SFA (ie they will be deemed to have waived their
entitlement to publicly funded family accommodation and will be required to
make private arrangements at their own expense).
e. Personnel retain their right of complaint through normal Service channels and
DIO Ops Accommodation complaints process.
CESSATION OF ENTITLEMENT TO SSFA
40. Personnel will cease to have an entitlement to SSFA on the earliest of the following
dates:
a. The date when the family vacates the residence or it is shared or sublet.
b. The date when a family passage becomes available to enable the family to
accompany or join the occupant on an overseas tour of duty.
c. The 28th day following the date the occupant joins a new permanent duty
station unless there is an entitlement to retain the SSFA beyond that point.
d. The 93rd day following a change of the occupant's personal status category
from PStatCat 1, 1s/c or 2 provided the residence is necessarily retained during
the 92 day concessionary period. Guidelines for dealing with cases of
estrangement in SSFA are at paragraph 40.
e. The day following the last day of terminal leave or last day of service.
f. If following NAC review (Para 27) suitable SFA is available.
g. The day following the date a Service person ceases to be entitled to SSFA
under paragraph 3 of these regulations.
Personnel whose entitlement for SSFA has ceased for the above reasons must make a
fresh application to the HASC for SFA if there is a continued requirement.
