OF T H E U N ITE D 8TATE E- ,WASHINGTON. 0 C. 20548 Lip C 0 - FILE: B-211380 MATTER OF: DIGEST: DATE: October 12, 1983 Ensign John Kiers., USN A naval officer or enlisted member above grade E-6 who is without dependents is entitled to a basic allowance for quarters while assigned to a ship at its homeport if he elects not to occupy available Government quarters. The member continues to receive the allowance for the first 90 days the ship is deployed. He is also entitled to receive the allowance for 90 days after transfer to a deployed vessel if the homeport of that ship is the same as the homeport of his previous assignment and he was receiving the allowance at the homeport at the time of the transfer. Is Ensign John Kiers, USN, entitled to a basic allowance for quarters for the period subsequent to his assignment to the USS Santa Barbara while the ship was on an extended deployment?' We conclude that Ensign Kiers is entitled to a basic allowance for quarters for a period of 90 days following the day he reported to the ship. Facts Pursuant to permanent change-of-station orders, Ensign Kiers (grade 0-1) was transferred from USS Davis, which was in its homeport of Charleston, South Carolina, to the USS Santa Barbara on January 29, 1983. On that day, the ship was in the 67th day of a 204-day deployment from its homeport of Charleston, South Carolina. Prior to reporting, Ensign Kiers was receiving a basic allow- ance for quarters at the without-dependents rate. Because the disbursing officer on the USS Santa Barbara is uncertain of the entitlement of Ensign Kiers to the allowance in view of 37 U.S.C. S 403(c) (Supp. IV 1980), 1 R. F. Gonzalez, Disbursing Officer on the USS Santa Barbara (AE-28), requested a decision in this case. The request was cleared through the Department of Defense Military Pay and Allowance Committee and assigned submission number DO-N-1417. 0 ., < , I-,
