McCann, USA, Retired Service member received retirpment orders relieving him from active service on September 30, 1980, and plPcing him on the retired list ettective October 1, 1980, He was paid-a mileage allowance for travel to his. home of selection based on the rate in effect on September 30, his last day of active -duty, He is not entitled to the higher mileage rate which became effective the following day becaIuse under Appen- dix J of the Joint Travel Regula- tion, the last day of active duty is the effective date for datermining allowances for travel to a member upon retiring. This action is in. response to a letter from Lieutenant Colonel Thomas P. McCann, USA, Retired, requesting further consideration of his claAm for an increase in his maileage allowance entitlement f6r his travel to his home oE selec- tion after retirement from the.Army in 1980, He claims he should have been paid at the 18.5-cent-per-mile rate which became effective October 1, 1980, rather than the 10-cent per mile rate previously in pffect. By settlement dated July 31, 1981, our Accounting and Financial Management Division disallowed the claim for the reason that the date for determining his entitlement was September 30, 1980, since that was his effective date of retirement for travel and transportation allowance purposes. We sustain that disallowance for the reasons stated below. Colonel McCann, by orders dated August 12, 1980, was relieved from active service on September 30, 1980, and placed on the retired list on the date following. He was paid the mileage allowance at the rate of 10 cents per mile, which was the rate in effect on September 30, 1980. FILE:
