If a dependent must leave Federal housing because the employee died, the Secretary can pay to move them to the nearest available housing of at least the same standard and can pay up to 60 days of rent. If the employee’s last permanent station was outside the 48 contiguous States, the Secretary can pay to take the dependents to the nearest port of entry in those 48 States.
