[Air Force Employee's Claim for Living Quarters Allowance]

A civilian Air Force employee claimed a living quarters allowance and a transportation agreement, contending that the use of his entitlement to return his daughter to the United States incident to his military retirement did not affect his entitlement to his own transportation back to the United States, provided that he exercised it within one year of his retirement. GAO held that the claimant was not eligible for a civilian quarters allowance or a transportation agreement, since he used a portion of his entitlement to return his daughter to the United States incident to his military retirement but before his civilian employment commenced. Accordingly, the claim was denied.
