Notes:

  1. If a civilian clothing allowance is authorized, members will submit the Civilian Clothing Allowance Worksheet (CG-5150) to Commandant (CG-1222), who will issue the member a memo and send a copy to their SPO.
  2. Coast Guard Investigative Service (CGIS) members will submit the CG-5150 to the CGIS Program Manager for review and signature - Address: Director, Coast Guard Investigative Service, Stop 7140, 4200 Wilson Blvd. Suite 740, Arlington, VA 20598-7140. The CGIS Program Manager will then forward the CG-5150 to Commandant (CG-1222) for processing.
  3. By law, an officer is authorized a civilian clothing allowance only if the officer’s permanent duty station (PDS) is located outside the United States.  If the officer is ordered TDY, the TDY order must be outside the United States and the officer is required to wear civilian clothing at least 50% of the time in the performance of their official duty.
  4. The ICCA is not payable to a member upon reassignment during a period of continuous active duty unless three or more years have elapsed between such assignments, or if the member has been out of a qualifying assignment for less than 12 months and subsequently assigned to a qualifying assignment.
  5. A TDYCCA is not authored to a member who is already required to wear civilian clothing at their PDS for which an ICCA has been authorized. The TDYCCA is payable to members who do not wear civilian clothing at their PDS, are ordered TDY, and are required to wear civilian clothing at the TDY location.
  6. A member who was not authorized the maximum TDYCCA amount due to the length of the first TDY, who later performs additional qualifying TDY, is authorized the lower amount.  Over a 36- month period, the total TDYCCA amount a member may be authorized will not exceed the amount in rule 7.
