However, we cannot charged RATA to Special Trust Fund (FC 05). There are other SUCs who are granting RATA from STF but was later disallowed by COA since it violates the DBM Circular No. 548 dated 2013 which states that the grant of commutable or reimbursable RATA of SUCs should be charged against the respective agency’s appropriation or budget for the purpose, or in case of deficiencies to the agency savings. The Special Provisions of GAA 2018 for SUCs likewise state that tuition fees and school charges which will accrue to FC 05 shall ‘in NO CASE be used for the payment of allowances and other benefits authorized by law’.
Section 8.0 of DBM NBC No. 548 dated May 15, 2013, an OIC, who are not assigned or who do not use government motor transportation, of a position, authorized in an agency staffing pattern and entitled to RATA, may be allowed to collect the RATA for the position on reimbursable basis, if stipulated in the office order designating him/her as such. For OICs who are assigned or who use government motor transportation, the OIC may be allowed to collect on the RA on reimbursable basis.
Those designated as OICs to positions in agency internally created organizational units whose staffing are not authorized by DBM, thus are considered as ad-hoc arrangements, are not entitled to RATA.
In my opinion, if the office order designating them to the position includes to receive rata, they are entitled.
