Entitlement to Per Diem Incident to an Evacuation

An advance decision was requested involving the amount of per diem payable incident to an evacuation when an Air Force member's family goes to a designated place and resides in a two bedroom apartment in the basement of the member's uncle's house. No entitlement to per diem exists in Joint Travel Regulations incident to an evacuation. Regulations provide that, when residence-type quarters are occupied at a designated place, the per diem allowance will terminate. In the case in question, the residence-type quarters were occupied.
