Will CONUS COLA be paid when the member and the family are in different locations (e.g., Exceptional Family Member, arduous sea duty)?

CONUS COLA is generally paid at the “with dependent” rate based on the location of the member’s permanent duty station (PDS), as with BAH. When the family does not reside with the member, CONUS COLA may be based on the residence of the member’s primary dependent if (a) the member is serving an unaccompanied tour outside CONUS or (b) the member’s PDS is in CONUS, but a Secretarial determination is made that, because of conditions at the member’s PDS, the dependent must reside separately from the member.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
