Can the member claim FCA as a result of utilizing the CTA benefit?
No, there is normally no entitlement for a member to claim Family Care Assistance (FCA) as a result of CTA. FCA is payable when the CF is the sole cause of the separation. There may be an entitlement to CTA when a member is away from their place of duty for service reasons and in receipt of FCA. DCBA should be consulted in those cases, staffed through appropriate channels.
