Civilian Clothing Allowance Authorizations

Introduction 

Welcome to PPC's MAS Civilian Clothing Allowance Authorizations page!

On this CIVILIAN CLOTHING ALLOWANCE AUTHORIZATIONS OVERVIEW tab, you will find the most common requested tools and within the menu (three lines top right), all the resources about that FY.

Civilian Clothing Allowance

Authorized for enlisted members who are required to wear civilian clothing more than 50% of the time in the performance of their duty at their permanent duty station. Members who are merely permitted to wear civilian clothing, rather than required, are not entitled to this allowance. The command will complete and submit the Civilian Clothing Allowance Worksheet (CG-5150) to Commandant (CG-1332).
a. Coast Guard Activities Europe and Coast Guard Far East Section. Commanding Officers of CG Activities Europe and the CG Activities Far East are authorized to approve and monitor the civilian clothing allowance payment for enlisted members serving under their command who are required to wear civilian clothing (50% or more of the time) in the performance of their official duties.
b. All Other Enlisted Members. Submit the CG-5150 to Commandant (CG-1332) using the submission instructions on the CG-5150.
c. Coast Guard Investigative Service (CGIS). In accordance with the Investigations Manual, COMDTINST M5527.1 (series) this clothing allowance is authorized to enlisted members assigned to duty as Special Agents with the Coast Guard Investigative Service (CGIS). CGIS agents are required to wear civilian clothes during their CGIS assignment. See note B on the CG-5150 for submission instructions.

FY 2016 Notes:

1.  If a civilian clothing allowance is authorized, members will submit the Civilian Clothing Allowance Worksheet
(CG-5150) to Commandant (CG-1332) for processing. If a civilian clothing allowance is authorized, a memo will be issued to the member and a copy sent to the SPO.

2.  By law, an officer is authorized a civilian clothing allowance only if the officer’s permanent duty station (PDS) is outside the United States.

3.  Coast Guard Investigative Service (CGIS) members will submit the CG-5150 to the CGIS Program Manager for review and signature.. The CGIS Program Manager will forward the CG-5150 to Commandant (CG-1332) for processing.

4.  The ICCA is not payable to a member upon reassignment during a period of continuous active duty unless three or more years have elapsed between such assignments, or if the member has been out of a qualifying assignment for less than 12 months and is subsequently assigned to a qualifying assignment.

5.  A member is not authorized a TDYCCA when the member is already required to wear civilian clothing at their PDS for which an ICCA has been authorized. The TDYCCA is payable to members who are not required to wear civilian clothing at their PDS, are ordered TDY, and are required to wear civilian clothing while on duty at the TDY location.

6.  A member who was not authorized the maximum TDYCCA amount due to the length of the first TDY, who later performs additional qualifying TDY, is authorized the lower amount. Over a 36-month period, the total TDYCCA amount a member may be authorized will not exceed the amount in rule 7.
