Possi Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 My client got a job with NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigation Service) and is paid by DFAS. (Defense Finance Accounting Svc). Is this considered active duty military for moving expenses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gail in Virginia Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 Good question. I don't know. My guess would be not because I don't think they are eligible for base housing or considered to have rank unless they carry it over from previous military service. But I cannot say definitively. Curious to see what others say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklcpa Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 I don't know either. It is connected to the Navy but is a civilian-run agency. Being paid by DFAS also isn't indicative; I have a civilian nurse that works for a VA hospital and her W-2 is issued by DFAS too. Employees of NCIS don't have to be military or have military experience, but it may be helpful. I think your best bet is to ask the client.

I didn't know it was merely connected to the Navy but civilian-run. I have my answer. Thanks, y'all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaxCPANY Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 Augh, yet one more misuse of "comprise" which is synonymous with "include", not "compose"! From Words on Writing (by Erin Hart): "When using the word comprise, follow these five guidelines. Comprise is a stand-alone verb—it does not need a helping verb like “is” or “was” or a modal verb like “will” or “might” to create future tense. Prepositions like “of” do not grammatically follow comprise. Comprise is a transitive verb and must be followed by a noun or series of nouns. Going from large to small is essential when using comprise—the whole comprises the parts. Comprise can be interchanged grammatically with “contain” but not with “compose.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
