D.C. 205o r0 FILE: P-194795 MATTER DIGEST: DATE: March 6, 1980 OF: Basic allowance for quarters after issuance of travel authorization for depedents Member is transferred overseas with deforred travel of dependents due to unavailability of Government quarters. Upon arrival, member is assigned Gov- ernment quarters available for himself and dependents due to administrative error. Under 37 U.S.C. S 403(d), mem- ber is entitled to basic allowance for quarters (BAQ) at the with dependent rate as orders of competent authority prevent dependents Erom joining him and residing in Government quarters. Upon authorization of dependcnts' travel, member is entitled to con- tinuation of BAG until transportation is available for depeirdents' travel, and arrangements are made for house- hold goo6s, plus normal travel time of dependents to member's station. See 25 Comp. Gen. 220 (1945). The basic question on this case is when does a mem- ber's e:titlemont to basic allowance for quarters (BAQ) at the with dependents rate cease after assignment to family type quarters. The qu6stion arises in the situa- tion of a member who upon being transferred overseas is denied concurrent travel of dependents because of lack of adequate quarters. Upon arrival, the member is immediately assigned to adequate family type quz-ters through administrative error. Based on this situation, we have been specifically asked whether the member's entitlement to BAQ ceases upon the authorization of his dependents' travel or at some later point so as to allow the dependents time to arrange to ship household goods and commence travel. The question was submitted for an advance decision by the Principal Deputy Assictant Secretary of the Army (Installations, Logistics and Financial flanagoment). I. K- t1r-%CJ ri .1
