handle is hein.gao/gaobadkrk0001 and id is 1 raw text is: DECISION . FILE: B-207144 MATTER OF: DIGEST: THE COMPTROLLER OENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON. 0 •C. 20548 DATE: October 5, 1982 Lieutenant Colonel William A. Terrio, USA, Retired Service member's claim for personal and dependents' travel from Heidelberg, Germany, where he retired from active duty, to a place con- tended to be his home of selection upon retirement, Gold Hill, Oregon, is disallowed, since he has remained in Germany and has shown no evidence of actual and continuous residence in Oregon, and the fact that he might ultimately move to Oregon does not provide basis for payment. Lieutenant Colonel William A. Terrio, USA, Retired, requests reconsideration of our Claims Group's March 8, 1982 denial of his claim for expenses of personal and dependent travel in 1980 from Germany to a home of selec- tion in Gold Hill, Oregon, based upon his retirement in 1979. The claim was disalloved since his stay in Oregon of less than 2 months before returning to Germany did not evidence an intent to establish a home of selection. The denial is sustained. Colonel Terrio retired from active Army service at Heidelberg, Germany, effective June 29, 1979. On about June 27, 1980, he and his son traveled by automobile from Heidelberg to Frankfort, Germany; by air to Seattle, Washington; and by automobile to Gold Hill, Oregon. Airline tickets used by him and his son submitted with his claim for reimbursement of the cost of their trans- portation indicate that they returned by air to Frankfort on August 11, 1980. He did not submit airline tickets in support of his further claim for reimbursement of trans- portation costs for his wife and daughter, and he states that they did not accompany him on the trip to Oregon. However, he suggests that he should nevertheless be allowed dependent travel allowances on their account because they were listed as his dependents in his 1979 retirement orders. After returning from Gold Hill, Colonel Terrio continued to live in Heidelberg Qf-1),313 1
