   FILE:  B-213560               DATE: April 3, 1984

   MATTER OF:    Lieutenant                  USN


   DIGEST:

        Where a member of the Navy,.who is
        assigned to quarters of:the United States,
        leaves his old station pursuant to perma-
        nent change-of-station orders prior to the
        original departure date* he may be paid.a
        basic allowance for quarters commencing
        with his departure even-though his formal
        assignment to quarters was not terminated.
        because he left unaccompanied baggage-in
        the quarters.
     The question is when does a basic allowance for quar-

ters commence for a member who vacates Government quarters
incident to a change of permanent station prior to official
termination of the assignment to quarters?I A basic allow-
ance for quarters commences for the member when he departs
the old station pursuant to valid change-of-station orders
regardless of whether the assignment to Government quarters
has been officially terminated.

     Lieutenant                  USN, was scheduled to
depart from the U.S. Navy PubJlc Works Center, Guam, on
March 16, 1983. He had been assigned to Government quarters
at that facility. For personal reasons he and his depend-
ents actually departed Guam on March 7, 1983. This earlier
departure presumably was under orders and sanctioned by the
proper authorities. By prior arrangement Unaccompanied
baggage was left in the house untilMarch 11, 1983# and the
assignment to Government quarters was terminated on
March 14, 1983. Lieutenant         indicates that according
to the prior arrangements he was to have vacated the
quarters on March 14 and to have gone into a temporary
lodging allowance status until March 16.


     1This question was presented by the Disbursing Offi-

cer, Personnel Support Activity Detachment, Albuquerque, New
Mexico, and forwarded to us by the Commander, Navy Account-
ing and Finance Center, Washington, D.C. The matter has
been assigned submission number DO-N-1428 by the Department
of Defense Military Pay and Allowance Committee.
