Conditions for Entitlement to Quarters Allowance.
Section 41
SEC. 41. Conditions for Entitlement to Quarters Allowance.—Except as may be authorized by law, government officials and employees who, by virtue of their positions, are furnished free quarters or are charged only a nominal rate in government-owned buildings, such as dormitories or living quarters in hospitals, state colleges, universities and schools, foreign posts and elsewhere, shall forfeit entitlement to any quarters allowance. Where portions of rented private buildings are authorized to be utilized for officials' quarters, the excess of rental cost over the quarters allowance of the official shall be borne by him. Those who enjoy free quarters in government-owned or rented buildings but who are not entitled to quarters privileges shall be charged the corresponding cost of rentals therefor. Unless fixed by law or regulations, the rate of quarters allowance or rental, as the case may be shall be determined by the Office of Budget and Management.
