Highlights

An employee requested reconsideration of the denial of a claim for living quarters allowances and return transportation while stationed overseas. The employee obtained a nonappropriated fund activity position in Italy from 1961 to 1966 when he was appointed to an appropriated fund position. Employees of nonappropriated fund activities became eligible for overseas allowances and differentials in January 1964. Therefore, the employee's eligibility for living quarters allowance should be determined by the employing agency in light of the circumstances at the time of his appointment to the activity in 1961. The employee's presence in the foreign country in 1966 did not entitle him to negotiate a transportation agreement with his employing agency.
