As at 13 Jul 12
b. On Marriage/Civil Partnership. Whilst there is no entitlement to SFA prior to
the date of marriage/civil partnership, if circumstances and availability permit, the
HASC may be able to make SFA available up to 2 weeks prior to the date of
marriage/ civil partnership to assist the Service applicant in moving in furniture and
possessions. However, occupation of the property by the Service person and/or
their intended spouse/civil partner is not permitted until the date of marriage/civil
partnership.
c. Early Mover Status. Early Mover Status (EMS) allows Units effected by a
relocation to plan a staggered relocation of families by up to 12 months either
preceding or following the expected date of the Unit move. Prior to an application
for EMS, Units must liaise with DIO Ops Accommodation (or other housing provider
if overseas) to ensure that sufficient SFA properties are available at the new
location as there is no entitlement to SSFA. Where a Unit has been granted
authority by the PACCC to award EMS, qualifying Service personnel are then
permitted to apply for SFA (together with DA and removals) at the new duty station.
EMS may also be granted to those assigned to join a Unit that is about to relocate
within 12 months, allowing them to relocate directly to the new duty station in order
to avoid the need for a double move. Full details are given within JSP 752
(Chapter 7 para 01.0108).
d. Change in circumstances. When requiring re-allocation following a change in
circumstances, or becoming entitled to SFA due to an impending change of
PStatCat, or by virtue of appointment.
