2. ISSUE 223801.  Basic Needs Allowance (BNA) Background.  
Reference (a) announced Navy policy and command screening 
procedures for the implementation of a new taxable allowance, 
Basic Needs Allowance, which provides additional income to 
sailors who fall below 130% of the federal poverty guidelines 
(FPG) for the area of the permanent duty station.

3. ISSUE 223802.  Eligibility to BNA requires that a sailor 
meet all of the criteria listed in paragraph (3) of reference 
(a). Sailors should further determine their eligibility based 
on their total gross household income (GHI) before starting an 
application.  Resources available to assist Sailors include 
but are not limited to their Command Pay and Personnel 
Administrators (CPPAs), Personal Financial Managers 
(PFMs) at the local Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC), 
and their Command Financial Specialists (CFSs).  Additional 
resources can be found at: 
https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/References/Pay-Benefits/N130C/.

The application procedures are listed in paragraph (7) of 
reference (a).    

4.  ISSUE 223803: Required BNA Documents. Specific tools and 
templates are required to be utilized during command screening,
notification, and application processes.  All items can be found 
at: https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/References/Pay-Benefits/N130C/.

The following required documents are to be used in the execution 
of BNA.

(a) Application Cover Sheet - Required to be utilized for application 
and command screening.  

(b) NAVPERS 1070-613 Screening Notification - Utilized for all 
official notifications once a Sailor is screened as potentially eligible.

(c) Other source of household income used in filing taxes - Applicant 
must provide (if applicable) all income source from the previous calendar 
year, as well as the current monthly income.

CPPAs will submit all required documents to MNCC via eCRM to initiate 
adjudication process.

NOTES: The following are key notes for the command and the member regarding 
BNA:

(a) CHANGES TO HOUSEHOLD INCOME.  If there is any change in household 
income after commencement of BNA payments it is incumbent upon the member 
to notify MNCC as soon as possible to preclude any possible underpayments 
or overpayments.

(b) POSTING TO THE LES AND MMPA.  BNA will reflect on the member's Leave 
and Earnings Statement (LES) and on the Master Military Pay Account (MMPA) 
as "SAVED TAXABLE PAY".
