Form (SF)1190, Foreign Allowances Application, Grant and Report
Under
authority delegated to the Department of State by the Comptroller General of
the United States, SF-1190 is prescribed to provide a uniform method of: (1) applying for payment of allowances and
the difficult-to-staff incentive differential (and post hardship differential
and danger pay if application required by employing agency) by employees; and
(2) recording the authorization of allowances and the difficult-to-staff
incentive differential to employees for payment and audit procedures. (Post hardship differential and danger pay
are already granted to eligible employees under the provisions of Section 520
and Section 651, respectively, of these regulations and need not be authorized
on SF-1190. Nonetheless, provision is
made on the form for approval of payment of post hardship differential and
danger pay for agencies which desire to use such approval.)
Agencies

for: Temporary Quarters Subsistence
Allowance, Living Quarters Allowance, Extraordinary Quarters Allowance, Foreign
Transfer Allowance, Home Service Transfer Allowance, and Education Allowance.
