RAT may be authorized when you sign another tour agreement. For personnel assigned to most of Europe, the initial overseas tour is three years. Subsequent, or renewal, tours are up to two years in length. When you sign a renewal agreement to stay another tour, you may become eligible for RAT travel. Generally, employees hired from the Continental United States (CONUS) will be eligible for RAT travel. So what is RAT? RAT is a free trip back to the CONUS, usually the location from which you moved, for you and your eligible dependents. You may take your RAT after you sign your renewal agreement, for a period six months before the start of the new tour up to 12 months before the end of the tour. That end date is important - you must take your RAT and return overseas no later than 12 months before the end of the tour. If you wait longer, you lose the entitlement, with few exceptions. You will be issued orders to obtain your RAT tickets. You must take home leave or annual leave for the time you are in the US. Your travel time, however, to and from your home of record or other single authorized point is not chargeable to leave. You are entitled to leave free travel time only if you are eligible for home leave.

In conjunction with a move from the Continental United States (CONUS) to Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS) or from overseas geographical location to another, you may be eligible to take one advance of your salary (an amount up to six pay periods of your salary). Repayment will start immediately after arriving at the new location. You decide how you want to pay it back, within the limits that it all must be paid back within 26 pay periods. Your advance is paid with your regular paycheck, not as a cash or check payment on demand. You may request your advance either before you leave CONUS or after you arrive overseas, so you will have access to the money for the initial expenses you will incur coming over here, and in case there is a delay in receiving your regular pay. This advance is interest free. Remember, there is NO Locality Pay in the overseas area.

LQA is paid to most employees recruited from the Continental United
States (CONUS). It is in addition to other allowances and in most instances
covers most of the costs of housing, heat, electricity, water, and sewer
service. In most situations, LQA is not authorized based on the
availability of government quarters. The maximum allowable rates depend on
the location of your duty assignment, your grade, and whether you have
dependents living with you or not. LQA is a reimbursement, based on your
actual expenses. It is adjusted periodically and automatically for changes
in monetary exchange rates. After the first year, you will need to show us
receipts for your actual expenses to adjust your payments. If you have
major changes to expenses during the year, you may also ask for an
adjustment at that time to avoid under- or over-payments. LQA is also not
have questions about your LQA eligibility or expenses.

TQSA is offered to most employees hired from the Continental United Stated (CONUS) to help offset the expenses of temporary lodging, meals, and laundry expenses for up to 90 days upon arrival. That is the expected time period in which you should be assigned government quarters. Extensions of up to 60 days may be granted for compelling reasons beyond an employee’s control. TQSA advances are only authorized in increments of 30-day period. BE SURE TO KEEP ALL RECEIPTS for hotels, meals, and laundry/dry-cleaning as well as other expenses over $75.00. Once you arrive at your new duty station, the Civilian Personnel Advisory Center (CPAC) will provide you with the appropriate forms that need to be completed for claiming TQSA. TQSA is paid at your new duty location only.
