NEW: 2027 Business Rules
The PPA shared 2027 draft Business Rules for DoW’s military moving program on Friday. We plan to submit MFA’s feedback by the October 26 deadline.
We’re analyzing the draft documents to compare them to the market realities of today’s program. We want your input. Let us know what you think looks like an improvement and what could pose logistical or economic challenges.
Please share your insights, recommendations, and questions with MFA Executive Director Katie McMichael: [email protected].
Because these guidelines apply to every business participating in the Defense Personal Property Program, it’s important for everyone involved in the military moving to understand what they cover.
We plan to give a deep dive soon, but in the meantime, we’re sharing the draft rules below.
