§1353 Travel Expenses and Expense of Transporting Remains of Officers and Employees Dying Outside of United States

Summary

When Service officers, inspectors, or other employees are sent to work in a foreign country, moved from one post to another at home or abroad, or become eligible for voluntary retirement while working overseas and return to the United States, they must be paid their travel costs under rules the Attorney General sets. The Attorney General may, in a written order, also pay to move their wives and dependent children and to transport household goods (including packing, shipping, temporary storage, and local handling). The Attorney General may, in a written order, pay to bring home the remains of those who die while serving in or traveling to a foreign country and pay ordinary burial and preparation costs.
