GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. PURPOSE. PER REF A, THE PURPOSE OF THIS MARADMIN IS TO PROVIDE DETAILED ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES FOR THE PAYMENT OF HDP-T FOR MARINES.
2.  POLICY. PAYMENT OF HDP-T IS GOVERNED BY REFS B - F AND IS USED TO COMPENSATE MARINES, BOTH ACTIVE AND RESERVE COMPONENT, FOR EXTENDED OPERATIONAL DEPLOYMENTS AS DEFINED IN REF G.
3.  ELIGIBILITY. MARINES WHO, PURSUANT TO ORDERS, PERFORM SERVICE AWAY FROM THEIR PERMANENTLY ASSIGNED DUTY STATION/PORT/BASE IN SUPPORT OF OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS ARE CONSIDERED OPERATIONALLY DEPLOYED. MARINES WHO ARE OPERATIONALLY DEPLOYED FOR MORE THAN 220 CONSECUTIVE DAYS BECOME ELIGIBLE FOR HDP-T ON THE 221ST CONSECUTIVELY DEPLOYED DAY.
    A.  EXCEPTIONS TO QUALIFYING SERVICE. SERVICE PERFORMED WHILE OPERATIONALLY DEPLOYED INSIDE THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES (CONUS) OR NON-FOREIGN AREAS OUTSIDE THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES (OCONUS) (I.E., ALASKA, HAWAII, GUAM, AND ALL OTHER U.S. TERRITORIES), DOES NOT COUNT TOWARD HDP-T ELIGIBILITY, EXCEPT:
        (1) WHEN SUCH SERVICE IS PERFORMED AS A PART OF AN ON-GOING, OPERATIONAL DEPLOYMENT THAT WOULD OTHERWISE QUALIFY A MARINE FOR HDP-T. FOR EXAMPLE, PORT VISITS TO CONUS AND NON-FOREIGN OCONUS LOCATIONS EXECUTED DURING MARINE EXPEDITIONARY UNIT (MEU) DEPLOYMENTS; AND
        (2) AS OTHERWISE NOTED IN THIS MARADMIN.
    B.  OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS. REF G DESCRIBES CRITERIA THAT MUST BE MET FOR AN EVENT TO BE CONSIDERED AN OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENT. THE EVENTS LISTED BELOW IN PARAGRAPHS B(1) - B(6) ARE CONSIDERED OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE MARINE CORPS’ HDP-T PAY PROGRAM. THIS LIST REFLECTS STANDARD OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS AND DOES NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT ALL OF THE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS THAT MARINES SUPPORT, OR THOSE THEY MAY BE DIRECTED TO SUPPORT. MARINES DEPLOYING IN SUPPORT OF EVENTS OR REQUIREMENTS NOT LISTED BELOW, SHOULD COORDINATE WITH THEIR UNIT’S OPERATIONS (G/S-3) AND ADMINISTRATION (G/S-1) BRANCHES TO DETERMINE HDP-T ELIGIBILITY BASED ON GLOBAL FORCE MANAGEMENT (GFM) REQUIREMENTS REGISTERED IN THE MARINE CORPS FORCE SYNCHRONIZATION PLAYBOOK/MARINE CORPS BULLETIN (MCBUL) 3120; GFM REQUIREMENTS ARE SYNONYMOUS WITH OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE MARINE CORPS’ HDP-T PAY PROGRAM.
        (1) MEU DEPLOYMENTS
        (2) DEPLOYMENTS UNDER THE UNIT DEPLOYMENT PROGRAM (UDP)
        (3) LAND-BASED SPECIAL PURPOSE MARINE AIR-GROUND TASK FORCE (SPMAGTF) DEPLOYMENTS
        (4) MARINE ROTATIONAL FORCE – DARWIN (MRF-D) DEPLOYMENTS
        (5) FLEET ANTITERRORISM SECURITY TEAM (FAST) DEPLOYMENTS
        (6) DEPLOYMENTS IN SUPPORT OF CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS, COUNTERDRUG OPERATIONS, LAW ENFORCEMENT OPERATIONS, HUMANITARIAN OPERATIONS, PEACEKEEPING OPERATIONS (E.G., UN MILITARY OBSERVER BILLETS), SURVEILLANCE OPERATIONS, AND FORWARD PRESENCE OPERATIONS.
    C.  MANAGEMENT OF QUALIFYING DEPLOYED DAYS. IN ACCORDANCE WITH REFS G AND H, EACH DAY MARINES SPEND OPERATIONALLY DEPLOYED WILL BE ACCOUNTED FOR VIA PERSTEMPO, WHICH IS RECORDED WITHIN THE MARINE CORPS TOTAL FORCE SYSTEM (MCTFS). MARINES WHO ARE OPERATIONALLY DEPLOYED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS MARADMIN AND FOR MORE THAN 220 CONSECUTIVE DAYS, AS REFLECTED IN INDIVIDUAL PERSTEMPO RECORDS, BECOME ELIGIBLE FOR HDP-T ON THE 221ST CONSECUTIVELY DEPLOYED DAY.
        (1) PERSTEMPO REPORTING GUIDANCE. PERSTEMPO REPORTING WILL BE EXECUTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS MARADMIN AND REFS H - I AND WILL SERVE AS THE PRIMARY MEANS FOR DETERMINING HDP-T ELIGIBILITY. PERSTEMPO REPORTING MUST BE CONSISTENT WITH APPLICABLE DEPLOYMENT/TEMPORARY DUTY ORDERS.
            (A) INDIVIDUAL PERSTEMPO RECORDS MUST INDICATE THAT MARINES ARE DEPLOYED IN SUPPORT OF AN OPERATIONAL EVENT TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR HDP-T. AS SUCH, THE “DEPLOYMENT PERSTEMPO EVENT INDICATOR CODE”, NOTED IN REF H, MUST BE EQUAL TO “Y” INDICATING A DEPLOYMENT AND THE “PERSTEMPO EVENT CATEGORY CODE” MUST BE EQUAL TO “A” INDICATING AN OPERATION. INDIVIDUAL MARINES CAN REVIEW/SELF-AUDIT THEIR PERSTEMPO RECORDS WITHIN MARINE ON-LINE (MOL); THE ABOVE DOD PERSTEMPO CODES ARE REFLECTED AS “WA” WITHIN MCTFS/MOL.
            (B) PARTICIPATING IN EXERCISE-RELATED PERSTEMPO EVENTS WHILE OPERATIONALLY DEPLOYED WILL NOT IMPACT HDP-T ELIGIBILITY. FOR EXAMPLE, A MARINE CONDUCTING FORWARD PRESENCE OPERATIONS (I.E., MCTFS/MOL PERSTEMPO CODE EQUAL TO “WAO”) WHILE OPERATIONALLY DEPLOYED WITH THE 15TH MEU WHO IS SUBSEQUENTLY TASKED TO SUPPORT A JOINT OR COMBINED EXERCISE (I.E., MCTFS/MOL PERSTEMPO CODE EQUAL TO “WBJ”) IS STILL CONSIDERED OPERATIONALLY DEPLOYED FOR THE PURPOSES OF HDP-T.
            (C) UNLESS SPECIFIED OR OTHERWISE KNOWN, OPERATIONAL DEPLOYMENTS WILL BE INITIALLY REPORTED IN PERSTEMPO AS FORWARD PRESENCE OPERATIONS (I.E., DOD’S “YAO”) IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE NEGATIVE IMPACTS ON HDP-T ELIGIBILITY. FORWARD PRESENCE OPERATIONS ARE REFLECTED IN MCTFS/MOL AS PERSTEMPO CODE “WAO”.
        (2) CAVEATS, EXCEPTIONS, AND SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES
            (A) LEAVE. PER REF H, LEAVE IS NOT A REPORTABLE PERSTEMPO EVENT. THEREFORE, LEAVE TAKEN WHILE OPERATIONALLY DEPLOYED IS NOT CONSIDERED DEPLOYED TIME FOR THE PURPOSES OF PERSTEMPO REPORTING AND WILL INTERUPT CONTINUED ACCURAL OF CONSECUTIVELY DEPLOYED DAYS WITHIN INDIVIDUAL PERSTEMPO RECORDS. HOWEVER, THE FOLLOWING EXCEPTIONS ARE PROVIDED TO ALLOW OPERATIONALLY DEPLOYED MARINES OPPORTUNITIES TO TAKE LEAVE WHILE MAINTAINING ELIGIBILITY TO RECEIVE HDP-T. UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES, HDP-T ELIGIBILITY WILL BE DETERMINED THROUGH MANUAL RECONCILIATION OF INDIVIDUAL PERSTEMPO RECORDS AND LEAVE OR OTHER SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION AS SPECIFIED IN REF I.
                1.  NON-CHARGEABLE LEAVE. NON-CHARGEABLE LEAVE (E.G., NON-CHARGEABLE REST AND RECUPERATION LEAVE) HAS NO EFFECT ON PAYMENT OF HDP-T OR CONTINUED ACCURAL OF CONSECUTIVELY DEPLOYED DAYS. MARINES ON NON-CHARGEABLE LEAVE ARE STILL CONSIDERED OPERATIONALLY DEPLOYED FOR THE PURPOSES OF HDP-T AND FOR THE DURATION OF THE NON-CHARGEABLE LEAVE PERIOD, NOT TO EXCEED THIRTY (30) TOTAL DAYS. FAILURE TO RETURN TO THE OPERATIONAL DEPLOYMENT WITHIN THIRTY TOTAL DAYS WILL RESET (I.E., CONSECUTIVELY DAYS DEPLOYED COUNTER TO ZERO AND PAYMENTS CEASE) HDP-T ELIGIBILITY EFFECTIVE THE FIRST DAY OF THE NON-CHARGEABLE LEAVE PERIOD.
                2.  CHARGEABLE LEAVE - EXCLUDING EMERGENCY LEAVE. FOR THE PURPOSES OF HDP-T, CHARGEABLE LEAVE PERIODS OF NINE (9) CONSECUTIVE DAYS OR LESS, TAKEN WHILE OPERATIONALLY DEPLOYED, ARE CONSIDERED DEPLOYED DAYS. WHEN CHARGEABLE LEAVE PERIODS, EXCLUDING EMERGENCY LEAVE, EXCEED NINE CONSECUTIVE DAYS, THE FIRST NINE LEAVE DAYS ARE CONSIDERED DEPLOYED DAYS AND HDP-T ELIGIBILITY RESETS ON THE TENTH DAY OF THE CHARGEABLE LEAVE PERIOD AND DOES NOT RESTART UNTIL THE MARINE RETURNS TO THE OPERATIONAL DEPLOYMENT.
                3.  EMERGENCY LEAVE. FOR THE PURPOSES OF HDP-T, EMERGENCY LEAVE IS UNPLANNED CHARGEABLE LEAVE TAKEN FOLLOWING NOTIFICATION, VIA AN OFFICIAL AMERICAN RED CROSS MESSAGE, THAT A FAMILY EMERGENCY OR CRISIS HAS OCCURRED THAT REQUIRES THE MARINE’S PRESENCE.
      A.  EMERGENCY LEAVE PERIODS NOT EXCEEDING NINE CONSECUTIVE DAYS WILL BE TREATED THE SAME AS REGULAR CHARGEABLE LEAVE PERIODS OF NINE CONSECUTIVE DAYS OR LESS (I.E., ALL LEAVE DAYS WILL BE CONSIDERED DEPLOYED DAYS FOR THE PURPOSES OF HDP-T).
                    B.  EMERGENCY LEAVE PERIODS EXCEEDING NINE CONSECUTIVE DAYS SHALL BE TREATED THE SAME AS REGULAR CHARGEABLE LEAVE FOR THE FIRST NINE DAYS OF THE EMERGENCY LEAVE PERIOD. EFFECTIVE THE TENTH DAY A MARINE IS AWAY FROM AN OPERATIONAL DEPLOYMENT IN AN EMERGENCY LEAVE STATUS, CONTINUED ACCRUAL OF CONSECUTIVELY DEPLOYED DAYS AND IF APPLICABLE, HDP-T PAYMENTS CEASE (I.E., THE “DEPLOYMENT COUNTER FREEZES”) FOR THE DURATION OF THE EMERGENCY LEAVE PERIOD, NOT TO EXCEED THIRTY TOTAL DAYS. HDP-T PAYMENTS AND CONTINUED ACCURAL OF CONSECUTIVELY DEPLOYED DAYS WILL RESUME, FROM WHERE IT STOPPED ON THE 9TH DAY OF THE LEAVE PERIOD, UPON RETURN TO THE OPERATIONAL DEPLOYMENT. FAILURE TO RETURN TO THE OPERATIONAL DEPLOYMENT WITHIN THIRTY TOTAL DAYS WILL RESET HDP-T ELIGIBILITY EFFECTIVE THE FIRST DAY OF THE EMERGENCY LEAVE PERIOD.
            (B) HOSPITALIZATION
                1.  OPERATIONALLY DEPLOYED MARINES THAT ARE HOSPITALIZED AWAY FROM THEIR PERMANENT DUTY STATIONS (PDS) ARE STILL CONSIDERED OPERATIONALLY DEPLOYED FOR THE PURPOSES OF PERSTEMPO REPORTING AND HDP-T. HOWEVER, IF A LINE OF DUTY INVESTIGATION DETERMINES THAT INJURIES ARE DUE TO THE MEMBER’S MISCONDUCT, THEN HDP-T ELIGIBILITY RESETS EFFECTIVE THE FIRST DAY OF THE HOSPITALIZATION AND DOES NOT RESTART UNTIL THE MEMBER RETURNS TO THE OPERATIONAL DEPLOYMENT AND RESUMES HIS OR HER NORMAL DUTIES.
         2.  MARINES THAT ARE HOSPITALIZED AT THEIR PDS ARE NOT CONSIDERED OPERATIONALLY DEPLOYED. HDP-T ELIGIBILITY RESETS EFFECTIVE THE FIRST DAY OF HOSPITALIZATION AT THE PDS.
         3.  UNDER THE PAY AND ALLOWANCES CONTINUATION (PAC) PROGRAM, PAY AND ALLOWANCES SHALL CONTINUE TO BE PAID TO MARINES, WHO, IN THE LINE OF DUTY, ARE WOUNDED, INJURED, OR BECOME ILL WHILE SERVING IN A COMBAT OPERATION, COMBAT ZONE, HOSTILE FIRE AREA, OR WHILE EXPOSED TO A HOSTILE FIRE EVENT, AND ARE HOSPITALIZED FOR TREATMENT OF THE WOUND, INJURY, OR ILLNESS. PER SECTION 372 OF TITLE 37, U.S.C. AND REF J, MARINES IN RECEIPT OF HDP-T WHO ARE HOSPITALIZED UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES WILL CONTINUE TO BE PAID HDP-T PER PAC GUIDELINES, REGARDLESS OF LOCATION OF HOSPITALIZATION.
            (C) TEMPORARY DUTY (TDY), CONCURRENT TDY, AND DIRECTED RETURNS TO PDS
                1.  PER REF F, OPERATIONALLY DEPLOYED MARINES WHO ARE ELIGIBLE FOR HDP-T AND DIRECTED TO PERFORM TDY OR CONCURRENT TDY AWAY FROM THEIR DEPLOYED UNIT AND IN A FOREIGN LOCATION REMAIN ELIGIBLE FOR HDP-T FOR THE DURATION OF THE TDY PERIOD.
                2.  PER REF F, OPERATIONALLY DEPLOYED MARINES WHO ARE ELIGIBLE FOR HDP-T AND DIRECTED TO PERFORM TDY OR CONCURRENT AWAY FROM THEIR DEPLOYED UNIT AND IN A CONUS OR NON-FOREIGN OCONUS LOCATION ARE CONSIDERED OPERATIONALLY DEPLOYED AND REMAIN ELIGIBLE FOR HDP-T FOR THE FIRST NINE DAYS OF THE TDY PERIOD. WHEN TDY PERIODS EXCEED NINE CONSECUTIVE DAYS, HDP-T ELIGIBILITY RESETS EFFECT THE TENTH DAY OF THE TDY PERIOD.
                3.  PER REF F, MARINES WHO ARE DIRECTED TO RETURN TO THEIR PDS FOR OFFICIAL PURPOSES AND EXPECTED TO RETURN TO THE OPERATIONAL DEPLOYMENT ARE CONSIDERED OPERATIONALLY DEPLOYED WHEN SUCH ABSENCES ARE LIMITED TO NINE CONSECUTIVE DAYS OR LESS. WHEN INTERUPTIONS TO OPERATIONAL DEPLOYMENTS, INCIDENT TO DIRECTED RETURNS TO PDS, EXCEED NINE CONSECUTIVE DAYS, HDP-T ELIGIBILITY RESETS ON THE TENTH DAY THE MARINE IS AWAY FROM HIS OR HER OPERATIONAL DEPLOYMENT. FOR EXAMPLE, A MARINE WHO IS OPERATIONALLY DEPLOYED TO AFGHANISTAN IS DIRECTED TO TRAVEL TO TAMPA, FLORIDA FOR A WORKING GROUP THAT LASTS TEN (10) DAYS. THE FIRST NINE DAYS THE MARINE SPENDS IN TAMPA COUNT TOWARD HDP-T ELIGIBILITY EVEN IF TAMPA IS THE MARINE’S PDS. THE MARINE’S HDP-T ELIGIBILITY RESETS ON THE TENTH DAY.
                4.  HDP-T ELIGIBILITY FOR MARINES THAT DO NOT RESUME THEIR OPERATIONAL DEPLOYMENTS FOLLOWING TDY, CONCURRENT TDY, OR A DIRECTED RETURN TO PDS, TERMINATES AND RESETS EFFECTIVE ON THE DATE THE MEMBER ORGINALLY DEPARTED THE DEPLOYED UNIT.
            (D) CONFINEMENT. PER REF H, MARINES WHO ARE CONFINED, OR OTHERWISE RESTRICTED FROM PERFORMING NORMAL DUTIES DUE TO MISCONDUCT, DURING AN OPERATIONAL DEPLOYMENT ARE NOT CONSIDERED OPERATIONALLY DEPLOYED AND HDP-T ELIGIBILITY RESETS EFFECTIVE THE DATE OF CONFINEMENT OR FAILURE TO PERFORM NORMAL DUTIES. HDP-T ELIGIBILITY RESTARTS UPON RELEASE FROM CONFINEMENT AND/OR RESUMPTION OF NORMAL DUTIES.
    D.  UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED IN THIS MARADMIN, HDP-T ELIGIBILITY REQUIRES BOTH AN OPEN PERSTEMPO REMARK INDICATING THE MARINE IS OPERATIONALLY DEPLOYED AND A GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION CODE INDICATING THAT THE MARINE IS SERVING IN A FOREIGN OCONUS AREA. ACCURAL OF CONSECUTIVELY DEPLOYED DAYS, FOR THE PURPOSES OF HDP-T, STARTS ON THE DATE THAT BOTH OF THESE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.
    E.  MARINES ARE NOT ELIGIBILE FOR HDP-T FOR PERIODS OF SERVICE PERFORMED UNDER PERMANENT CHANGE OF STATION (PCS) ORDERS (E.G., MARINE SECURITY GUARDS (MSG), UNACCOMPANIED AND ACCOMPANIED OCONUS PCS TOURS OF DUTY, ETC.).
    F.  MARINES ARE NOT ELIGIBILE FOR HDP-T FOR OPERATIONAL DEPLOYMENTS THAT CONCLUDED PRIOR TO 17 SEPTEMBER 2014.
4.  PAYMENT AMOUNT AND FREQUENCY. DISBURSEMENT OF HDP-T PAYMENTS TO ELIGIBLE MARINES IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR ABOUT 15 DECEMBER 2014. MARINES DO NOT NEED TO REQUEST PAYMENT OR INITIATE ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION TO RECEIVE HDP-T; HOWEVER, MARINES WHO BELIEVE THEY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR HDP-T, BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED PAYMENT BY 15 JANUARY 2015, SHOULD CONTACT THEIR UNIT S/G-1 OR SUPPORTING PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION CENTER FOR AN ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATION. HDP-T WILL BE PAID AT A RATE OF $495 PER MONTH, PRORATED DAILY AT $16.50; THE PRORATION DOES NOT APPLY TO THE 31ST DAY OF A MONTH. THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLES FOR PAYMENT ON THE 31ST ARE PROVIDED:
    A.  EXAMPLE 1:  A MEMBER ELIGIBLE FOR HDP-T FOR THE PERIOD MARCH 31 THROUGH APRIL 29 WILL RECEIVE HDP-T ONLY FOR THE PERIOD APRIL 1-29.
    B.  EXAMPLE 2:  A MEMBER ELIGIBLE FOR HDP-T FOR THE PERIOD MARCH 31 THROUGH MAY 15 WILL RECEIVE THE FULL MONTHLY AMOUNT OF HDP-T OF $495 FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL, AND DAILY HDP-T FOR THE PERIOD MAY 1-15.
    C.  EXAMPLE 3:  A MEMBER ELIGIBLE FOR HDP-T FOR THE PERIOD MARCH 10 THROUGH MAY 10 WILL RECEIVE DAILY HDP-T FOR THE PERIOD MARCH 10-30, THE FULL MONTHLY AMOUNT OF HDP-T OF $495 FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL, AND DAILY HDP-T FOR THE PERIOD MAY 1-10.
    D.  EXAMPLE 4:  A MEMBER ELIGIBLE FOR HDP-T FOR THE PERIOD JANUARY 31 THROUGH MARCH 10 WILL RECEIVE THE FULL MONTHLY AMOUNT OF HDP-T OF $495 FOR THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY, AND DAILY HDP-T FOR THE PERIOD MARCH 1-10.
5.  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
    A.  SAILORS ASSIGNED TO MARINE UNITS.  SAILORS ASSIGNED TO, AND OPERATIONALLY DEPLOYED WITH, MARINE UNITS WILL HAVE PERSTEMPO EVENTS ENTERED INTO AN OFFICIAL PERSTEMPO TRACKING SYSTEM, SUCH AS MCTFS OR THE PERSTEMPO SYSTEM. IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL COMMAND SOP, A VALIDATED AND SIGNED PERSTEMPO LIST OF PERSONNEL ELIGIBLE FOR HDP-T WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE SERVICING PSD FOR MONTHLY HDP-T PROCESSING AND PAYMENT. VALIDATION MUST INCLUDE A REVIEW OF THE SAILORS LEAVE AND TDY TO ENSURE THERE IS NO BREAK IN ELIGIBILITY.
    B.  PER REF B, HDP-T SHALL BE PAID IN ADDITION TO ANY OTHER PAY AND ALLOWANCES TO WHICH THE MEMBER IS ENTITLED. HOWEVER, THE COMBINED TOTAL MONTHLY AMOUNT OF HARDSHIP DUTY PAYS PAYABLE UNDER REF B (I.E., HDP–LOCATION, HDP-MISSION, HDP-T) CANNOT EXCEED $1,500.
    C.  PER REF D, AUTHORITY TO MAKE HDP-T PAYMENTS EXPIRES ON OCTOBER 1, 2016. CONSECUTIVE DAYS THAT MARINES SPEND OPERATIONALLY DEPLOYED THAT OCCUR THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 WILL BE COUNTED FOR THE PURPOSES OF HDP-T.
    D.  COMMANDING OFFICER'S ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION FOR RETIRED OR SEPARATED MARINES OR THOSE NEARING RETIREMENT OR SEPARATION
        (1) REPORT REQUIRED UNIT DIARY ENTRIES AFFECTING HDP-T IN ACCORDANCE WITH REF I AND PRIOR TO REPORTING DROP THE ENTRY (TTC 378).
        (2) DETERMINE HDP-T ELIGIBILITY FOR FORMERLY ASSIGNED MARINES WHO RETIRED, SEPARATED, OR WERE OTHERWISE DISCHARGED BETWEEN 17 SEPTEMBER 2014 AND THE DATE OF THIS MARADMIN.  WHEN HDP-T ENTITLEMENT NEEDS TO BE REPORTED AFTER RETIREMENT, SEPARATION, OR DISCHARGE, THE ADMINISTRATIVE UNIT/IPAC THAT EFFECTED THE SEPARATION WILL COORDINATE WITH THEIR SUPPORTING MANPOWER INFORMATION SYSTEMS SUPPORT OFFICE (MISSO) AND THE DISBURSING/FINANCE OFFICER TO CORRECT THE MEMBER’S MASTER MILITARY PAY ACCOUNT TO ENSURE PROPER PAYMENT.
        (3) MARINES WHO RETIRED, SEPARATED, OR WERE OTHERWISE DISCHARGED BETWEEN 17 SEPTEMBER 2014 AND THE DATE OF THIS MARADMIN WHO BELIEVE THEY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR HDP-T, BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED PAYMENT BY 15 JANUARY 2015, SHOULD CONTACT THEIR SEPARATING COMMAND FOR AN ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATION.
    E.  PER REF A, FOR MARINES CURRENTLY DEPLOYED, AS OF THE DATE OF THIS MESSAGE, CONSECUTIVE DAYS DEPLOYED ACCRUED PRIOR TO 17 SEPTEMBER 2014 COUNT WHEN DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY FOR PAYMENT; HOWEVER, MARINES CANNOT BE PAID FOR DEPLOYMENT DAYS THAT OCCURRED BEFORE 17 SEPTEMBER 2014. FOR EXAMPLE, IF A MARINE WAS DEPLOYED FOR 210 CONSECUTIVE DAYS AS OF 17 SEPTEMBER 2014, HE OR SHE BECAME ELIGIBLE FOR HDP-T PAYMENT ON 28 SEPTEMBER 2014, THE 221ST DAY OF CONSECUTIVE DEPLOYMENT. IF A MARINE WAS DEPLOYED FOR 230 CONSECUTIVE DAYS AS OF 17 SEPTEMBER 2014, HE OR SHE BECAME ELIGIBLE FOR HDP-T ON 17 SEPTEMBER 2014; HOWEVER, HE OR SHE WILL NOT BE RETROACTIVELY PAID  HDP-T FOR ANY CONSECUTIVELY DEPLOYED DAYS BACK TO 08 SEPTEMBER 2014, THE 221ST CONSECUTIVE DAY OF DEPLOYMENT.
    F.  MARINES ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR HDP-T FOR CONSECUTIVELY DEPLOYED DAYS ACCURED ON OPERATIONAL DEPLOYMENTS THAT ENDED PRIOR TO 17 SEPTEMBER 2014. FOR EXAMPLE, A MARINE WHO WAS OPERATIONALLY DEPLOYED FROM 22 JANUARY 2014 UNTIL 16 SEPTEMBER 2014 IS INELIGIBLE FOR HDP-T FOR THAT DEPLOYMENT PERIOD.
    G.  DEPLOYMENT EXTENSION REQUESTS, VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY, HAVE NO IMPACT ON HDP-T ELIGIBILITY; OPERATIONALLY DEPLOYED MARINES WHO VOLUNTARILY REQEST TO EXTEND THEIR CURRENT OPERATIONAL DEPLOYMENT REMAIN ELIGIBLE FOR HDP-T.
6.  REQUESTS FOR OFFICIAL HDP-T ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATIONS FOR SITUATIONS AND CIRCUMSTANCES NOT COVERED WITHIN THIS MARADMIN SHOULD BE SENT TO CMC (MPO) FOR FURTHER COORDINATION AND FINAL RESPONSE. REQUESTS SHOULD BE SUBMITTED VIA STANDARD NAVAL LETTER, ORIGINATE FROM BATTALION/SQUADRON-LEVEL COMMANDERS OR INSTALLATION PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION CENTER (IPAC) DIRECTORS, PROVIDE RELEVANT DETAILS RELATED TO THE REQUEST, AND CONTAIN A RECOMMENDED DECISION.
7.  THIS MARADMIN APPLIES TO ALL ACTIVE AND RESERVE COMPONENT MARINES.
