  MATTER   OF:  Elizabeth B. Mullis- Temporary duty and
                relocation expensest  permanent duty
                station
  OIGEST:
            On November 11, 1978, an employee of the Air
            Force stationed at Robins Air Force Base (AFB),
            Georgia, married another Air Force employee
            who had recently transferred from Robins AFB
            to St. Louis, Missouri. Prior to marriage the
            employee signed a transfer agreement indicating
            that she was being transferred to St. Louis but
            she was initially assigned to temporary duty in
            St. Louis, her transfer being authorized
            2 months later.  In the circumstances employee
            is allowed transfer benefits as it seems that
            the transfer was intended by all concerned prior
            to employee's marriage and issuance of temporary
            duty orders.

     The question presented asks whether an Air Force
civilian employee is entitled to temporary duty (TDY)
allowances, including local transportation between her
home and worksites in the St. Louis area, and what
effect her move into an established home would have on
her entitlement to miscellaneous expense incident to
her relocation,-in the circumstances related.

     Lieutenant Colonel C. G. Nieman, USAF, Chief,
Accounting and Finance, Headcuarters Warner Robins Air
Logistics Center (AFLC)., Robins Air Force Base (AFB),
Georgia, has asked for our decision in the matter. His
request was forwarded here by the Per Diem, Travel and
Transportation Allowance Committee (Control No. 79-10).

     The employee concerned, Mrs. Elizabeth B. Mullis
(formerly Mary E. Berryhill) performed temporary duty
in the St. Louis, Missouri area pending her permanent
change of station to that area from Robins AFB, Georgia.
This assignment was initiated by orders dated Novem-
ber 8, 1978, as amended by orders of November 27, with
the stated purpose of assisting with certain processing
until the permanent change of station of permanently
assigned personnel.
