The claim adds a figure of 1,200 families that the claimant's passage never states, so it departs from the post and is graded as unverifiable. The November 30 end date for safe haven entitlements is supported by sources published before the post, but the 1,200 figure is not in the passage; the sources give about 1,300 Navy families and dependents.

What was said
… shocking, Nicole, because Navy leaders said to them that they pleaded with senior leaders inside of the Pentagon, telling them that none of these families have any of their personal belongings, but the Pentagon shut them down and essentially said, "Too bad." Those safe haven entitlements that the families had been getting are going to end on November 30th.

Deadline: White House · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Contradicts. Military.com gives the number of evacuated Navy families and civilian dependents as roughly 1,300, not 1,200, so the claim's specific figure does not match the reporting.[1]
Supports. Military.com reports that Navy leaders told families the DOD financial and logistical support would lapse on Nov. 30, consistent with the post's claim about the end date.[1]
Supports. A Navy guidance release says families must select a resettlement location by Nov. 30 and that safe haven allowances step down from Oct. 12 through Nov. 30.[2]
Context. The claim's "1,200 families" figure does not appear in the claimant's passage, which refers only to the families generally and to the Nov. 30 end date, so the claim departs from the post.
Context. MS NOW reporting, cited by Democratic lawmakers, says payments stop once a family signs a permanent lease, which families were told to do by Dec. 1; this is consistent with the Nov. 30 timing but gives no family count.[3]
