Direct Access does not allow a payment for Hostile Fire Pay / Imminent Danger Pay (HFP/IDP) and Hardship Duty Pay for Location in a Designated Area (HDP-L (DA)) to exceed $325 in a month. Direct Access will deduct any dollar amount over $325.
For example, a member was authorized HDP-L (DA) and HFP/IDP that also required a retro payment that spanned 5 pay periods. The total payment due the member should’ve been $730, but due to the DA limit of $325, DA issued a debt for the excess of $405.
If a retro adjustment is required for HDP-L (DA) and/or HFP/IDP, a PPC Customer Care Ticket must be submitted requesting a retro adjustment be processed manually.
