Civilian employees located in foreign areas are eligible for different compensation authorities compared to employees located in the United States or its territories or possessions. Besides basic pay, certain foreign allowances are often used as recruitment or retention incentives to make foreign service more economically feasible. One type of allowance is called a ‘‘living quarters allowance,’’ or ‘‘LQA,’’ and allows an agency to reimburse the cost of rental housing as well as utilities (such as electricity, natural gas, and water service).

In addition, for those job candidates eligible, the amount of the benefit varies by rank (i.e., GS grade), presence overseas with or without family, and overall family size. Detailed rules concerning eligibility and other matters are found in the State Department’s Department of State Standardized Regulations, sections 031.12 and chapter 130. To more effectively administer LQA, the General Services Administration (GSA) has created a new agency form, GSA Form 5039, Living Quarters Allowance Eligibility Questionnaire.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    The General Services Administration routinely hires, reassigns, 
promotes, or

transfers Federal employees to duty stations in foreign areas (i.e., 
outside of the United States and its territories and possessions). 
Civilian employees located in foreign areas are eligible for different 
compensation authorities compared to employees located in the United 
States or its territories or possessions. Besides basic pay, certain 
foreign allowances are often used as recruitment or retention 
incentives to make foreign service more economically feasible. One type 
of allowance is called a ``living quarters allowance,'' or ``LQA,'' and 
allows an agency to reimburse the cost of rental housing as well as 
utilities (such as electricity, natural gas, and water service). Under 
this authority (conveyed by the Overseas Differentials and Allowances 
Act of 1960, Pub. L. 86-707, Sept. 6, 1960, codified at 5 U.S.C. 
5923(a)(2)), not all job candidates or overseas employees are 
necessarily eligible (for example, if Government-provided housing is 
made available). In addition, for those job candidates eligible, the 
amount of the benefit varies by rank (i.e., GS grade), presence 
overseas with or without family, and overall family size. Detailed 
rules concerning eligibility and other matters are found in the State 
Department's Department of State Standardized Regulations, sections 
031.12 and chapter 130.
    To more effectively administer LQA, the General Services 
Administration (GSA) has created a new agency form, GSA Form 5039, 
Living Quarters Allowance Eligibility Questionnaire. This form collects 
basic demographic and housing-related information and also includes 
questions meant to coordinate housing benefits between the U.S. 
military and other Federal agencies (for example, if two spouses work 
for different Federal agencies). Individuals who complete this pre-
employment questionnaire are considered job candidates and may be 
members of the public (if not already Federal civilian employees). The 
purpose of the data collection from job candidates is to ensure that 
eligible applicants receive allowance consideration, in the correct 
amounts based on the position and family size, and ineligible 
candidates are not erroneously provided with this significant monetary 
benefit.
