| Member Family Subsistence Supplemental Allowance Amount | | Description | Member Family Subsistence Supplemental Allowance Amount is the dollar amount paid to a DoD Military Service member for family subsistence supplemental allowance (FSSA).
Usage
Member Family Subsistence Supplemental Allowance Amount is used to document the dollar amount paid to a DoD Military Service member for family subsistence supplemental allowance (FSSA).
FSSA is paid to a DoD Military Service member based upon the certified application for FSSA that states the member's gross household income is within 130 percent of the poverty line (as determined under Title 7 USC, Sect. 2014, Para. (c)) by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). FSSA supplements the member's basic allowance for subsistence (BAS) to obviate the member's need for benefits under the food stamp program.
Member Family Subsistence Supplemental Allowance Amount represents the actual FSSA amount vice the amount claimed by the member on his/her FSSA application. | |
