OCISION                . OP THE UNITED STATES

MATTER OF:


DIGET:


DATE:   November 28, 1983


Captain Thomas D. Slagle, USAF


A member under permanent change-of-station
orders traveled concurrently with his wife,
who was traveling under separation orders.
He is not entitled to dependent transpor-
tation allowance on account of his wife as
his dependent since she was paid travel and
transportation expenses to her home of
record in connection with her separation
from active service in the Air Force. How-
ever, he may be paid a dislocation allowance
at the with-dependent rate on account of his
wife since she is considered his dependent
on the effective date of his transfer.


     This action responds to a request for an advance
decision concerning the claim of Captain Thomas D.
Slagle, USAF, for dependent travel and dependent dislo-
cation allowance on account of his wife who was sepa-
rated from the Air Force at the time of his permanent
change of station.1  We find that Captain Slagle is not
entitled to dependent transportation, but he may be paid
a dislocation allowance at the with-dependent rate.

     Captain Slagle and his wife Jacqueline, formerly
an Air Force sergeant, traveled together from Clark Air
Force Base, Republic of the Philippines (where it ap-
pears they were both stationed and resided as one house-
hold) to Minot, North Dakota, where they would reside
together. His travel was performed under permanent
change-of-station orders, effective June 26, 1982. Her
travel was performed in connection with her separation
from the service, effective June 7, 1982. Minot, North
Dakota, was Mrs. Slagle's home of record. Their travel
commenced on June 4 and terminated on June 12, 1982.
He reported at Minot Air Force Base on June 30, 1982.



1 The request for advance decision was submitted by the
  Chief of the Accounting and Finance Branch at Minot
  Air Force Base, North Dakota. The request was ap-
  proved by the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Al-
  lowance Committee and assigned control number 83-14.
