TDY vs TLA: What’s the Difference?
TDY (Temporary Duty) and TLA (Temporary Lodging Allowance) are two different military entitlements, but both require temporary housing near your duty station:
- TDY — You are on a temporary assignment away from your permanent duty station. Lodging is typically reimbursed through per diem.
- TLA — You are PCSing (Permanent Change of Station) and need temporary housing while waiting for permanent quarters. TLA covers up to 60 days of lodging.
At TLA Ramstein by DODSC®, we serve both TDY and TLA guests with the same high-quality fully furnished homes. Whether your stay is one week or two months, we have the right apartment for your needs.
