§1492 Authority to provide travel and transportation allowances in connection with transfer ceremonies of certain civilian employees who die overseas

Summary

A covered official can give the same travel and moving cost help to certain family members of a civilian employee who dies while overseas that the military gives to families of service members who die overseas. "Covered employee" means a civilian under that official who dies overseas. "Covered official" means the military department Secretary or the head of a Defense Agency or DoD Field Activity. "Covered relative" means the primary next of kin, two other family members, and one or more additional family members if the Secretary chooses (which can include a sibling).
