handle is hein.gao/gaobadcwg0001 and id is 1 raw text is: DECISI FILE: SB-18 MATTER C DIG EST: I This action concerns a request dated December 5, 1975, from Samuel B. Gilreath, Jr., a disbursing officer for the Corps of Engineers, Department of the Army, as to the propriety of certify- ing for payment the voucher of Mr. James P. Thorne for a supple- mentary post allowance incident to the transfer of his official duty station from Mobile, Alabama, to Frankfurt, Germany, in November, 1974. The record indicates that the claimant, Mr. Thorne, accepted a position as Reproduction Foreman, U.S. Army Engineer Division, in Frankfurt upon the understanding that Government quarters would be provided for him and his family. Upon arrival on November 8, 1974, Mr. Thorne was advised by the Civilian Personnel Office that he was eligible for Government quarters and that he should not seek housing on the local economy since assignment to such quarters would be made in 4 to 12 weeks. He was subsequently informed that by reason of his wage grade, WS-6, he was eligible only for assignment to excess housing, which would not be available for an indefinite period. Because of the unavailability of Govern- ment housing and other factors, the claimant requested a release from his transportation agreement, which was granted. After reassignment to his former duty station, the U.S. Army Engineer District, Mobile, Alabama, Mr. Thorne departed on January 21, 1975, for authorized travel to Mobile. PUBLISHED DECISION 55 Comp. Gen........... 8 ~- THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL O N .OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 DATE: JUL 21 1976 15662 James P. Thorne - Supplementary Post Allowance Civilian employee and his family transferred to new duty station at Frankfurt, Germany, occupied nonhouse- keeping transient-type quarters during which their cost for restaurant meals substantially exceeded the cost of such meals if prepared in housekeeping quarters. Since supplementary post allowance is available to defray extraordinary subsistence costs which exceed that portion of employee's salary and post allowance ordinarily spent for food and household expenses while occupying housekeeping quarters, employee may be granted allowance, not to exceed amount prescribed by Department of State Standardized Regulations $ 235 (August 27, 1974).
