FILE:  B-212335               DATE: February 28, 1984

MATTER OF: Rosemarie E. Naguski


DIGEST:

  1. An employee assigned to long term train-
      ing may receive temporary duty allowances
      or permanent change-of-station allowances
      but not both. When an employee is au-
      thorized only temporary duty allowances
      the issuance of a Government bill of
      lading for the transportation of an em-
      ployee's household goods in itself does

      the General Services Administration for
      handling under its doubtful claims pro-
      cedures. Any certification for payment
