MATTER OF;

DATM: February 19, 1982


William T, Lebo - Reimbursement for
Dependents' Relocation Travel


When employee and dependents are authorized to traVel
botween off(c~ial duty stations by commercial air or
privately owned vehicle (POV) in connection with a
permanent change of station, employee's election to
travel uqaccompanied by POV does not limit his
entttlemeut to reimbursement for dependentol air
travel from alternate point of origin to constructive
cost of dependents' concurrent travel by POV since
dependents are not required to accompany employee,
There is no requirement for authorization of depend-
ents' separate travel by mode approved in travel
order. Reimbursement for dependents' travel from
alternate point of origin may not exceed construc-
tive cost of common carrier transportation between
old and new duty stations,  M. K. Farnsworth,
B-183563, May 4, 1976, modified.


     This action is in response to the request of Mr. 11, 0, Miller,

U.S. Department of Defense, for an advance decision concerning
the entitlement uf Mr. William T, Lebo to reimbursement for the
constructive cost of the transportation of his wife and daughter
to his new permanent duty station,

transfer from the Air Force Audit Agency, Fairborn, Ohio, to the
Defense Audit Service, Arlington, Virginia, he was authorized
travel for himself, his wife and daughter between official duty
stations by commercial air. Travel by privately owned vehicle (POV)
was also approved as advantageous to the Government, In anticipa-
tion of his transfer, Mr. Lebo sold his home in Fairborn and
temporarily moved his dependents to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, where
they were residing when he accepted the new position.
