handle is hein.gao/gaobacutk0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAO United States General Accounting Office Office of Washington, DC 20548 General Counsel InReply B-199868 Refer to: Sergeant Dori L. Stover, USAF 48 OMS, PSC Box 3762 APO New York 09179 Dear Sergeant Stover: Reference is made to your undated letter received h e on June 17, 1980, in which you raised several questions concerning yest quaraters allowance entitle- im entJn You say that you are serving on active duty with the Air Force and that you are living in off-base quarters with your daughter. Nevertheless, you are only being paid a Basic Allowance for Quarters (BAQ) at the without dependent rate. You indicate this is becau..e your former husband is also a member of the Air Force and is required to -ake child support payments under the terms of your divorce'decree. Since he is making child support payments, he is the one who is allowed to draw BAQ at the higher with dependent rate on behalf of the child. However, you also note that if you and your daughter were to be assigned Government quarters, his entitlement to BAQ at the with dependent rate would cease, even though the amount of court-ordered child support would remain unchanged. You question whether this is fair. You say that the BAQ you are receiving at the without dependent rate is inadequate to cover the costs of housing for yourself and your daughter, and you feel that you ought to be the parent who should rightfully be paid the allowance at the higher with dependent rate. You also question whether there is any reason why your former husband's BAQ entitlements should vary depending upon whether you and your daughter are assigned Government quarters. You therefore ask that we review the matter. Although a decision of the Comptroller General will not be issued on the basis of your letter, the following information may be of use to you. :)1/1/62(2
