# §302-6.3. Eligibility for TQSE allowance when transferred to or from a foreign area.

- (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](/cfr/41/302-3.100.md) 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](/cfr/41/302-3.100.md) of this chapter).
