Claims Services
The forms needed to file a HHG shipment claim can be found at this website. The claims process for Move.mil shipments is the same as for any other government shipment. You have 75 days from the date of delivery to note damages and complete and submit the DDForm1840/1840R thru the Move.mil website. Failure to report loss or damage within 75 days or to properly complete DDForm1840R could jeopardize your claim.
Good record keeping prior to your move and careful observation during your move will make the claims process easier!
