When do Subsistence Expense Allowance (SEA) benefits commence for evacuees?
(1) U.S. Safehaven: SEA benefits will commence from the day following arrival at the official safehaven location, per DSSR 632. No SEA will be paid for travel enroute to official safehaven location. (2) Alternate Approved Safehaven (outside the U.S.): If an alternate foreign safehaven is approved prior to the EFMs evacuation, SEA benefits will commence from the day following arrival at the approved alternate safehaven location. If an alternate safehaven is approved after evacuees have arrived at that location, SEA will commence no earlier than the date the Department received the request for the alternate safehaven. If the request for an alternate safehaven is denied, no SEA is authorized until the evacuee arrives at the authorized safehaven.
