Purpose, in the publication’s words

This instruction establishes guidelines for managing and processing allegations of delinquent financial obligations. Federal law and policy (listed in Attachment 1) authorizes allotments from Regular Air Force, United States Space Force, Air Force Reserve, and Air National Guard members’ military pay to satisfy certain financial obligations. Military members are expected to pay their just financial obligations. Air Force Instruction (AFI) 1-1, Air Force Standards, includes general guidance on personal financial responsibility as one element of a strong Air Force culture. Attachments 2 and 3 of this publication contain fact sheets on federal policy and guidelines related to military personal indebtedness to aid both commanders and members. 4 DAFI36-2906 23 AUGUST 2023
