May an SM receive OCONUS TLE, living allowances, or Per diem if temporarily living with your in-laws in South Korea? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/may-a-sm-receive-oconus-tle-living-allowances-or-per-diem-under-this-situation <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>We recently PCS to South Korea and staying at mother-in-law&#39;s house that is one mile away from the post instead of Lodging at a motel for TLE. My wife is South Korean national and she is not the owner of the house but she is a resident of the address according to her registration record. So there is no reason for us to lodge at a motel when her home is only one mile away.<br /><br />Housing decided that we are not authorized to live at In-law&#39;s due to ownership of the house is not under any of my dependents so we are waiting for a available on-post housing. Unfortunately, it&#39;s taking over 4-weeks and housing is denying to pay us TLE, Per-diem, or food allowance just because we are not lodging. I understand about TLE but we do spend quite a bit of money for living allowances.<br /><br />What can I claim?
