Lia ac; gl' I Dependent's Local Transportation Expenses for Outpatient Medical Care Pursuant to 10 US.C, §1040(a), dependents residing with members of the unitlormed ser- vices stationed outside the Uniteld States are entitled to transportation to the nearest appropriate medical facility at Government expense when adequate care is not available in the locality, The statute's legislative history indicates a congressional intent to allow reimbursement of all transportation expenses necessary under the circumstances, Therefore, the Joint Travel Regulations may be amended to allow reimbursement for actual expense of local transportation of a depend- ent receiving outpatient medical care outside the locality of the member's duty station when such care is determined to be medically necessary. We have been asked whether Volume 1 of the Joint Travel Regulations (1 JTR), paragraph M7108, may be amended to authorize reimbursement for the local trans- portation of dependents who have been transported from the member's overseas duty station to a location where adequate medical care is available and are receiving outpatient medical care ut that location. The regula- tion may be amended in ccordance with this decision. The question was presented in a letter dated March 4, 1981, from the Acting Assistant Secretary the Army (Manpower 'nd Reserve Affairs)$ which was assigned Control N . 81-10 by the Per Diem, Travel Transportation Allowance Committee. of and Under 10U.S.C. § 1040(a) (1976), transportation at the expense of the United States is authorized to the nearest appropriate medical facility in which adequate medical care is available for a dependent who is residing with a member of the uniformed services stationed outside of the United States on active duty for more than 30 days, and who requires medical attention which is not available in that locality. The dependent may also be transported / 32 FILE; 1982
