REFERENCE(S)
1. Financial hardships are sometimes encountered by employees at posts where
inadequate medical facilities exist when travel is required to another area for
hospitalization or treatment. These hardships generally are confined to maternity
cases since our overseas hospitalization and medical travel programs provide sub-
stantial.coverage for conditions, other than maternity,, which require hospitalization.
The following program concerned with travel and medical separation allowances for
maternity cases at hardship posts without adequate medical facilities for child
delivery was established to overcome these financial burdens. The list of posts
where child delivery facilities are considered to be inadequate is attached.
2. Travel
The Organization is not authorized to reimburse employees for dependent
travel for maternity reasons. However,, the Rest and Rehabilitation (R&R) Travel
Program previously authorized by the Organization for designated hardship posts
may be used for maternity travels Accordingly., an employee at such a post whose
wife is pregnant may use the authorized R&R travel for purposes of maternity evacu-
ation. Maternity evacuation travel at Government expense shall be authorized by
Chiefs of Station or Base only under the R&R Program to and from an evacuation city
with adequate medical facilities within the limits prescribed under the R&R Program
for the post. Only the cost of transportation will be reimbursed (no per diem
authorized). If an employee already has used his authorized R&R travel, maternity
evacuation travel will be at the employeets expense.
3. Separation Allowance
a. A separation allowance at the standardized rate is authorized
in such cases from the time of the wifets separation from her husband
until the time of her return to the post of assignment, provided all
of the following requirements are met:
(1) The post of assignment appears on the current list
of posts where child delivery facilities are considered to be
inadequate (see Attachment);
(2) The evacuation city is located outside the employee's
country of assignment; and,
(3) The period of absence is contemplated to be 90 days
nr mnrca.
b. When Government quarters in the evacuation city are occupied
~~?-by the wife at-no before or after hospitalization, the sepa-
'
ration allowance
01 be reduced by `50 per `cent.

several weeks of anticipated confinement and return travel should not be attempted
until the mother and child are clearly in condition to do so.
