B-194807 1 (1980-05-27)

handle is hein.gao/gaobadihb0001 and id is 1 raw text is: THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL OECISION .F O THE UN ITE D STATES WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 FILE: B-194807 OATE May/ 7, 198/ MATTER OF: BAQ and TLA for members on sea or field duty DIGEST: 1. The prohibition contained in 37 U.S.C. § 403(c) against payment of BAQ to members without depend- ents while on field or sea duty of 3 months or more applies to tempo- rary as well as to permanent duty assignments. 2. Temporary lodging allowance (TLA) may be paid under current regula- tions on return to permanent station of a member without depen- dents who must give up his perma- nent housing while on temporary duty away from his permanent sta- tion for extended periods. How- ever, it may be prudent to amend the regulations to specifically provide guidelines for payments of TLA in this situation. TLA may be authorized regardless of whether the member actually loses entitlement to BAQ for the period of temporary duty, by being assigned to field or sea duty pro- vided 'it is clear that the member reasonably anticipated loss of BAQ under the temporary duty deploy- ment and that is the reason the member relinquished his quarters. The Commandant of the Marine Corps has requested our decision on several questions concerning the entitlement to basic allowance for quarters (BAQ) and temporary lodging allowances (TLA) of members who are assigned to temporary additional duty away from their permanent sta- tions in Hawaii. The request has been assigned Control Number 79-12 by the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee.
