PCS Household Goods Weight Allowance

Posted February 6, 2010 / Last Updated May 8, 2018

 

Below is the amount of weight the Military will pay to move or what is known as a PCS weight allowance for household goods. The amount of weight allowed is based on pay grade and if you have dependents or not. Military gear (PRO- Gear) that is packed separately and declared to the mover as such is NOT configured into this weight allowance as PRO-Gear is shipped “free” so to speak.
