RMKS/1. THE PURPOSE OF THIS MESSAGE IS TO ADVISE FINANCE
OFFICES THAT THERE IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH BAH 
(TABLE RATE) PAID WHEN SG03 TRANSACTION IS PROCESSED.
2. PROBLEM:  SERVICE MEMBERS ASSIGNED TO FAMILY TYPE GOVT
QTRS AT THEIR OLD PDS (QTR-ASGN 1 AND QTR-ADQ 1, OR QTR-ASGN 0
AND QTR-ADQ 0) ARE PAID TABLE RATE BAH (FID 35) FROM THE
DDLDS THROUGH THE DAY PRIOR TO ARRIVAL IN SG TRANSACTION. PAY
ACTIVITIES ARE ALSO RELEASING A 3501 TRANSACTION TO START THE
TABLE RATE BAH EFF DATE OF DDLDS.  THE DUAL CREDIT IS CAUSING
OVERPAYMENT FOR THE IN-TRANSIT PERIOD.
3. THE SG03 TRANSACTION STARTS THE 68 FID (BAH) ENTITLEMENT
EFF DATE OF ARRIVAL BUT IS NOT STOPPING THE 35 ENTITLEMENT. 
SERVICE MEMBER SHOULD BE PAID FID 35 AT $.30 RATE ON DAY
OF ARRIVAL.
4. INTERIM SOLUTION: IN ORDER TO AVOID OVERPAYMENT TO SERVICE
MEMBERS, PAY ACTIVITIES ARE ADVISED NOT TO RELEASE 3501 TO POST
BAH (TABLE RATE). SG03 WILL AUTOMATICALLY PAY TABLE RATE BAH  
FOR IN-TRANSIT PERIOD AND WILL START THE CORRECT ENTITLEMENTS
AT THE GAINING PAY ACTIVITY.
5. IN THE EVENT 3501 IS RELEASED FOR TABLE RATE BAH, AND PRIOR
TO THE RELEASE OF SG03, PROCESS A 3504 FOR $.30 RATE EFF DAY
OF ARRIVAL.  TABLE RATE BAH WOULD BE STOPPED WITH THIS 
TRANSACTION AND WILL NOT AFFECT THE 68 FID THAT WAS 
STARTED BY THE SG03.
6. 3504 TRANSACTION MAY GENERATE A DEBT FOR THE 
PERIOD OF IN-TRANSIT OVERPAYMENT.  IF DEBT IS
NOT SYSTEM GENERATED, AND MEMBER IS DETERMINED TO BE 
OVERPAID, PROCESS A DQ01 TO COLLECT THE DUPLICATE BAH 
TABLE RATE PAID IN ERROR.
7. A PROBLEM TICKET HAS BEEN SUBMITTED FOR A SYSTEM CHANGE
TO STOP THE 35 FID TABLE RATE FOR IN-TRANSIT PERIOD THE
DAY BEFORE ARRIVAL WHEN SG03 IS PROCESSED.
8. REQUEST ENSURE WIDEST DISSEMINATION.//
