Which form authorizes starting, stopping, or changing an allotment?

• A. DA Form 5305
• B. DA Form 5841
• C. DD Form 1172
• D. DD Form 2558

Answer: (D)

Allotments from pay are managed with a dedicated authorization form. To start a new allotment, stop an existing one, or change its amount or recipient, you use DD Form 2558, Authorization to Start, Stop or Change an Allotment. This form explicitly records who will receive the money, how much, how often, and when the change should take effect, and your signature authorizes the action. Once submitted, the finance/pay office processes it to update your pay records accordingly. The other forms serve different purposes (such as designating a dependent for pay benefits or handling other administrative actions) and are not used to authorize changes to pay allotments.
