               Matter of- Armando Reyes

               File:      B-221153

               Date:      August 21, 1986



               DIGEST

               An Air Force member sought to move his household goods under the do-it-
               yourself program upon his separation from the service. Applicable
               regulations require that in order for an incentive payment to be made for
               such a move, the member must provide certified weight certificates
               establishing the weight of goods actually moved. Since the record does
               not establish that these requirements of the program were met, and it
               appears there were other irregularities involved in the move and the sub-
               mission of the claim, incentive pay is not payable to the former service
               member. Actual expenses of the move may, however, be paid.


               DECISION

               This action is in response to a request for an advance decision regarding
               the moving expenses of Mr. Armando Reyes under the do-it-yourself moving
               program.!/ We conclude that the cost of the rental truck, an actual
               expense of the move, was properly paid, although the incentive payment is
               not payable to the former member.

               BACKGROUND

               Mr. Reyes, formerly an enlisted member of the Air Force, was authorized
               moving expenses upon his separation from the service in January 1985.
               The move was authorized from Blytheville Air Force Base, Arkansas, to
               Stuart, Florida. Mr. Reyes chose to move under the do-it-yourself
               program which provides an incentive payment to a member for moving his
               household goods himself.



               1/ The request was made by Captain Bobby G. McKinnon, USAF, Accounting
                    and Finance Officer, Headquarters 97th Bombardment Wing (SAC),
                    Blytheville Air Force Base, Arkansas, and has been assigned Per
                    Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee number 86-5.
