Known as Hardship Duty Pay-Restriction of Movement, those who are unable to isolate at home will be eligible to receive up to $100 a day, up to 15 days a month. “HDP-ROM may only be paid in the case where your commander (in conjunction with military or civilian health care providers) determines that you are required to self-monitor and orders you to do so away from your existing residence at a location not provided by or funded by the government,” states the requirements. Service members are also not required to turn in receipts in order to receive the aid.
