This question was presented for advance decision by the A6CO69,z Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Manpower, Reserve Affairs & Logis- tics) in a letter dated March 30, 1979. The matter was assigned PDTATAC Control No. 79-7, by the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee. Travel of a member and transportation of dependents and house- hold goods to a home of selection in connection with retirement from the uniformed services must be accomplished within 1 year of the retirement. Public Law 89-680, approved October 15, 1966, 80 Stat. 957, amending 37 U.S.C. §§ 404(c), 406(d), and 406(g), restated this .-~ f;J 4D 6 pR b MrV1_.- THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL ECISION . OF THE UNITED STATES VWASHINGTON, O.C. 20548 .E: B-194599 DATE: May 22, 1979 41TER OF: Shipment of household effects to selected home 3EST: 1. Authority to promulgate regulations granting exceptions in deserving cases to the 1-year limitation for travel of a member and trans- portation of dependents and household goods to a home of selection incident to retirement has existed since the enactment of Public Law 89-680. Regulations implementing the authority were not issued until August 1, 1976, and a determination was made that entitlements under these regulations would be prospective only. Construction or amend- ment of regulations so as to encompass cases arising prior to August 1, 1976, is not proper in view of long-standing rule that rights fixed there- under may only be amended with prospective application.

A member who does not make a selection of a home ,2 incident to retirement within 1 year of retirement, but has assurance prior to expiration of 1-year limitation that recall to active duty is imminent, may have household goods shipped to home of selec- tion on subsequent retirement following a period of active service.
