DECISION


FILE:  B-191742


, If J\, .


THE  COMPTROLLER GENERAL
OF   THE UNITED STATES
WASHINGTON. 0. C. 20548


DATE:   August 1, 1978


OF:  HM1 Robert P.
     and HM2 Sybil


Hockensmith, USN
L. Hockensmith, USN


Husband and wife, both Navy members, are
each entitled to a dislocation allowance
(DLA) (without dependents rate) upon
permanent changes of station where at the
old station the husband was assigned to
quarters aboard a ship homeported at
Pearl Harbor and the wife occupied
quarters on land near Pearl Harbor, her
duty station, and both were transferred
to Long Beach, California, where they
occupied non-Government quarters together.
Although the husband stayed with his wife
in her quarters when he was not required
on board ship at the old duty station, the
move involved transfer from a station where
the members were assigned separate quarters
and thus was not a move of a single house-
hold to preclude payment of two DLA's.


     This action is in response to a letter from the Officer in
Charge, Navy Finance Office, Long Beach, California (HGA:AD:4650/1
SER:532), requesting an advance decision concerning whether pay-
ments of dislocation allowances (DLA) may be made to both
HM2 Sybil L. Hockensmith, USN,             and HM1 Robert P.
Hockensmith, USN,             incident to permanent changes of
station they received in June 1977. The request was assigned
PDTATAC Control No. 78-16 and forwarded to this Office by the Per
Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee.

     HM1 Hockensmith and HM2 Hockensmith are husband and wife and
both are members of the Navy. Mr. Hockensmith was assigned to a
ship homeported at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and Mrs. Hockensmith was
assigned to a shore activity at Pearl Harbor when in June 1977
they both received permanent change of station orders to a shore
activity at Long Beach, California, where they were not assigned
to Government quarters.

     While she was assigned to Pearl Harbor, Mrs. Hockensmith did
not occupy Government quarters and she received basic allowance
