Mattimore, USAF File: B- 221938 Date: February 3, 1987 DIGEST 1. An Air Force chaplain with no dependents assigned to family-type housing rather than to bachelor quarters upon a permanent change-of-station transfer is not entitled to a dislocation allowance, notwithstanding his belief that his assignment to family housing caused him to incur miscellane- ous relocation expenses that should be reimbursed through payment of the allowance. The governing provisions of stat- ute authorize payment of a dislocation allowance to trans-- ferred service members without dependents only if they are not assigned to government living quarters of any type at their new duty station. 2. The Joint Travel Regulations may not be revised to autho- rize the payment of a dislocation allowance to service couples, without dependents, assigned to government family quarters upon a permanent change-of-station transfer. Under the applicable statutes two active duty service members who are married cannot claim one another as dependents for allow- ance purposes. Therefore, both must be considered members without dependents and neither is entitled to a dislocation allowance when assigned to government quarters upon a permanent change-of-station transfer. DECISION This action is in response to a request for an advance deci- sion regarding the propriety of paying a dislocation allow- ance to Colonel William F. Mattimore, an Air Force chaplain without dependents, who was assigned military family housing rather than bachelor quarters upon his permanent change-of- station transfer in August 1985 to Hanscom Air Force Base 0.3T794 8- 1j5 _ IcX
