In order to support military members and their families, alternatives to the home state definition are specified in the Commission Rules. For the purposes of the PT Compact only, active duty military and military spouses may define their home state as one of the following:
Home of Record means the state in which the military member entered the military.
Permanent Change of Station or "PCS" means the state of the duty station to which the active-duty military member and/or spouse is most recently assigned.
State of Current Residence means the state in which the active duty military member of spouse is maintaining legal residency.
If active duty military or spouse is selected during the online purchase process, the individual will be required to submit proof of military status and home state to the Commission at https://ptcompact.org/military. See the Guidance for Active Duty Military and Spouses Regarding Flexibility in Selecting Home State.
