Assistance for Military Duty Absence (DND)

Assistance for Military Duty Absence (AMDA) is available when other caregivers are not available to care for your dependants and:

• Your absence is required at your permanent workplace for military duty or tasks outside of regular working hours for 30 minutes or more
• You are outside of your place of duty for duty travel, an attached posting, a military operation, exercise, training, or other military duty or task
• You are posted to a location to which you cannot move your dependants
• You experience a travel delay beyond your control when returning to your home from a military tasking

Assistance for Military Duty Absence

You are entitled to be reimbursed for either the daily amount established by Treasury Board or the difference between the amount paid for dependent care during the absence and the amount normally paid for care, whichever is less. Funds reimbursed based on a declaration may be used by the member to offset costs for a caregiver to travel to the dependants, or vice versa, or both.
