MEMORANDUM FOR AFBCMR
FROM: AF/DPRCC
SUBJECT: Application for Correction of Military Records -See
Attached Roster
This responds to your request for a BCMR advisories on members
formerly assigned to Anderson AFB, Guam, who PCS ' d before a
correction payment was made restoring a previous COLA reduction.
By way of background, The Per Diem, Travel, and Transportation
Allowances Committee (PDTATAC) reviewed cost reports submitted by
the command which resulted in a COLA reduction for Guam. Part of
the reduction was based on increases in CONUS prices not matched by
corresponding price increases in Guam. After careful review of COLA
rate setting procedures, the Per Diem Committee principals and USD
(Personnel and Readiness) decided that COLA should not be reduced
based on CONUS price growth. Accordingly, the principals voted to
restore COLA rates to the 31 May 99 level, effective 1 August 99,
and initiate a complete review of the COLA program. In addition,
the Committee principals and OSD approved restoration of the lower
COLA received during June and July.
There is no legal authority to change the COLA rate with a
retroactive effective date of 1 June. Therefore, PDTATAC sent rate
changes to all pay systems to pay a COLA dollar amount for 16-30
September 99 that will matched the amount of COLA missed during
June and July. Members received this one-time catch-up in their 30
September 99 pay. On 1 October 99, the COLA rates returned to their
previous level.
The above method repaid members still assigned to Guam, but did not
reimburse members who had already departed. These members were
advised to seek restitution through the Board for Correction to
Military Records.

Insight of this information, we recommend the Board approve these
requests. If the board decides to grant these requests, we suggest
the records be changed to reflect the COLA index for these members
was not reduced on I June 99. Specifically, we recommend their
records show the COLA index was 122 rather than 118 from I June 99
until their date of departure. Please see the attached roster for
specific information on each member (i.e. name, rank, SSN, number
dependents, and date departed Guam). Our point of contact for this
advisory is XXXXX, DSN 227-0682.
