MATTER OF:Bac Allowance for Quarters;- Sergeant First
             Class                 USA
DIGEST:Where it is shown in records that a service member
         who resided off post, requested BAQ at the without
         dependent rAte and his request was approved con-
         temporaneously by company, battalion, snd brigade
         commanders, but dut to administrative breakdown,
         not by installation contander, such member may
         receive AQ for the period in question bawed upon
         delayed approval by proper authority even where
         there is a delay in the issuance of a statement of
         nonavailability since Such statement is not an
         order authorizing A4 but rather documentation of
         existing facts clearly discernible from other records.

     This action is taken in response to a letter dated March 20,
1975, with enclosures, file raference ATZK-CM.FA, from the Finance
and Accounting Office, Headquarters United States Armor Center and
Fort Knox, Fort Knox, Kentucky, requesting an advance decision
concerning the propriety of making payment of basic allowance for

Sergeant First Class               j USA, SSAN           I for
the period December 10, 1972, through September 18, 1974, or in
the alternative, for the period February 12, 1973, through Septem-
ber 18, 1974, in the circumstancea described. That letter Was
forwarded to our Office by the Office of the Comptroller of the
Ary (file referenqe DACA-FAF-P), and assigned Department of
Defense Military Pay and Allowance Committee Control Number DO-A-1237.

     The record .shows that the member, who was stationed at
Port Knox, Kentucky, moved into an off-post mobile hoe on Dacem-
bar 10, 1972. By Disposition Form dated February 12, 1973, the
member requested MAQ at the without dependent rate, which
request was approved by hie ccn&ny comuander on February 15,
1973, by his battalion comnander on February 16, 1973, and by the
brigade commander on February 20, 1973. That request was then
forwarded to the Comnander of the Armor Center and approval was
recounuded. Hlowever, the Finance and Accounting Offiker states
that they have been unable to determine whether any final action
was ever taken on that request.
