            THE  COMPTROLLER GENERAL
            SOF  THE   UNITED STATES
            W ASHINGTCN. D.C. 2054a-

-IV,


MATTER   OF:   Staff Sergeant Beauregard Daniel, Jr.


DIGEST:


A member's  claim for personal and
dependent travel from his last duty
station to his requested place of
retirement, Salina, Kansas, is dis-
allowed since, although it appears
that the member may have contem-
plated Salina, Kansas, as his home
after retirement he has shown no
evidence of residence at that place
and the fact that his family from whom
he is, separated have established
a residence there does not provide
basis for payment.


    This action is in response to a letter dated February 10, 1975,
from Staff Sergeant Beauregard Daniel, Jr., USA, Retired, con-
stituting an appeal from a Transportation and Claims Division (now
Claims Division) settlement dated February 5, 1975, which disallowed-
his claim for personal and dependent travel from his last duty station
to New Orleans, Louisiana, his then indicated selected place of
retirement for the reason that there was nothing in the record to
show that the member and his dependents ever established a
residence at that location.

    The member  contends thathe was not attempting to collect home
of selection travel and transportation allowances toNew Orleans;
rather, he considers Salina, Kansas, as his home of selection for
the purpose of these benefits.

    The record shows that by Letter Orders Number S4-1, dated
April 1, 1974, issued by Headquarters, United States Army Air
Force Command,   the member was released from active duty on
April 30, 1974, and retired under the provisions of 10 U. S. C.
3914.  Pursuant to the authority of those orders, the member had
his household goods shipped under Government Bill of Lading
No. H- C, 854, 394, to Salina, Kansas, which was indicated in
correspondence in the file to be his selected home for retirement
purposes.
