T6HU COMPTROLLER GENEIRAL
OP THE UNITEO S1TATES
WASHINGTON. O.C. 20548



      DATE: December 16, 1983


MATTER OF: Lieutenant Colonel Sheldon A. Goldberg, USAF


DIGEST: 1.


The dependent of a service member
stationed overseas may be author-
ized early return to United States
at Government expense to attend
college only if conditions in the
Joint Travel Regulations are met
and if the travel is authorized in
advance. If not, the dependent may
travel on space-available transpor-
tation under Department of Defense
regulations. If the service member
does not seek authority for early
return and is not able to take ad-
vantage of space-available travel,
no payment for returning the
dependent to college is authorized.


           2. The dependent of a service member
               was authorized travel from Tacoma,
               Washington, to Maxwell Air Force
               Base, Alabama, in connection with
               the member's permanent change of
               station from West Germany, to
               Maxwell. Since the dependent was
               already in the United States, and
               had attained the age of 21 while in
               the United States, the orders may
               not be considered as authorizing
               travel as a dependent at Government
               expense.

     Lieutenant Colonel Sheldon A. Goldberg, USAF, requests
reconsideration of our Claims Group's May 18, 1983, denial
of his claim for payment of travel expenses for his depend-
ent son from Tacoma, Washington, to Maxwell Air Force Base,
Alabama. The claim must be disallowed since no authority
exists for dependent travel from a location other than the
member's former station outside the United States to the new
station inside the United States when the dependent, because
of age, was no longer eligible as a dependent at the time
the travel was performed.
