Imminent Danger Pay (TTC 236/293/294/297/899)

Section 1

Effective December 31, 2011, the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) changed the entitlement to IDP from a monthly non-prorated entitlement to a monthly prorated entitlement.  For each day served in a designated IDP area, a Marine is entitled to 1/30th of the maximum monthly amount ($225).  Prior to December 31, 2011, IDP was a monthly special pay of $225.  It was payable in the full amount without being prorated for each month during any part for which a Marine was assigned to a designated IDP area.  Active and Reserve Component members who qualify, at any time during a month were entitled to the full amount of IDP regardless of the actual period served on Active Duty or Inactive Duty for training.  Refer to the DOD 7000.14-R Financial Management Regulation, Volume 7A, Chapter 10, Figure 10-1, for the designated IDP areas.

Section 2

IDP is now based on days spent, based on 30 days per month, in a designated IDP area per the DOD 7000.14-R Financial Management Regulation, Volume 7A, Chapter 10, Paragraph 100101.B and Figure 10-1.  The 31st of a month, whether the first day in the IDP area or at any other point during the duty, is considered a day of non-entitlement. February is treated as a 30 day month. a.  Effective 1 January 2012, a Marine is not entitled to IDP for the number of days while on leave, Temporary Additional Duty or rest and recuperation (R&R) from a designated IDP area.  Effective with software Release (SR) 1-2013 (April 2013), MCTFS will systematically deduct IDP during periods of non-entitlement. b.  A Marine receiving IDP who is wounded or injured as a result of hostile action is entitled to Hostile Fire Pay (HFP), see Paragraph 90702. c.  A Marine who is injured or suffers an illness (not from hostile action) that results in hospitalization for the injury or illness is entitled to IDP for each month member is hospitalized and receiving treatment for the injury or illness.
