| | As provided in par. C1052-B4c, the losing OCONUS activity pays an employee's travel and transportation allowances to the authorized separation destination up to those that would be payable to the actual residence.� The losing OCONUS activity pays these costs even though an employee is employed without a break in service by a different department or agency after arrival at the authorized separation destination. |

|
| | Subject to certain conditions and limitations, PCS allowances applicable at the new PDS may be authorized and paid by the acquiring department or agency.� The fact that the separation destination is the employee's actual residence and also the place of employment without a break in service doesn't preclude eligibility for certain PCS allowances.� The applicable PCS allowances aren't authorized until the employee signs a new transportation agreement (see par. C4005).� The following examples indicate the extent of eligibility in various situations involving an employee, whose actual residence is Chicago, IL, and whose OCONUS PDS from which returned for separation is in England. |

| | A PCS travel order is not appropriate for travel under the provisions of this paragraph.� Movement from the old OCONUS PDS to actual residence/allowable alternate destination is by separation order.� The acquiring department or agency is responsible for issuing a travel order, ("Request/Authorization for DoD Civilian Permanent Duty or Temporary Change of Station (TCS) Travel", DD Form 1614), authorizing travel from the point at which the responsibility of the command at the old OCONUS PDS ends and the responsibility of the command at the new PDS begins. The travel order must contain the same basic information as that for a PCS order prescribed in Chapter 3 and should include the following statement in Item 20 "Remarks or Other Authorizations":� "Transfer from another agency without a break in service following return for separation after satisfactorily completing an overseas tour of duty." |
