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.
