Under i'egulations prescribed by the military services,
travel allowances may be paid upon a serviceman's stparation or
release from active duty; the amount paid is nct to exceed
travel costs from his last duty station to his home of record or
the place from which he was called cr ordered to active duty.
Joint Travel Regulations entitle military members tc receive
additional separation travel allowances for dependents, but tht
requlat4.ons allow payment for dependent travel only to placos
where they intend to reside. A military member can receive a
travel allowance without regard to actal travel, but hiL or her
family may not. An examination of separaticn mileage paymencs
made during February 1977 at seven Air Force staticns Indicated
that, for 30% of the payments, the future @ailing address of the
separdting member was different and/cr closer to the poirt cf
separation than the home of record or place from which tte
member was called to active duty. If mileage allowances had been
paid according to the future sailing address, there was a
potential for saving about $8,350 or $87 per case. Tota]
poteatial Air Force savings were about $1.3 million annually.
Unnecessary expenses might be avoided by paying separation
mileage allowances according to the intended future residence of
the member and by putting all mileage payments on an
after-the-fact basis. (RES)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaaygn0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
