(a) Employees may not receive a TQSE allowance under this part when transferred to a foreign area. However, an employee may qualify for a comparable allowance under the DSSR (Government Civilians, Foreign Areas) (see § 302-3.100 of this chapter).

(b) Employees may receive a TQSE allowance under this part when transferred from a foreign area and temporary quarters are occupied in the United States. An employee may also be authorized a comparable allowance, prescribed by the Department of State, at the foreign area preceding final departure subsequent to the necessary vacating of residence quarters (see § 302-3.100 of this chapter).
