The Secretary may provide rations or money instead for specified Coast Guard members, civilian personnel, and field parties. The section regulates payment and use of that money and bars a ration for anyone receiving a subsistence allowance.
(a) Enlisted Coast Guard members, civilian officers and civilian crews of vessels, and field working parties must receive a ration or money instead, in the Secretary’s amount and under the Secretary’s limits and regulations. (b) Under those regulations, the money must be paid on proper vouchers or payrolls to entitled individuals or Commandant*-designated mess financial officers. (c) Money paid to such an officer may be deposited in public-money depositories or an insured bank and must be spent and accounted for under the Secretary’s regulations. (d) This section does not change subsistence-allowance laws, but a person receiving such an allowance may receive neither a ration nor money instead.
Enlisted members of the Coast Guard, civilian officers and civilian crews of vessels, and working parties in the field shall be allowed a ration or commutation thereof in money, in such amount and under limitations and regulations prescribed by the Secretary*.
Money for commuted rations shall be paid, under such regulations as the Secretary shall prescribe, on proper vouchers, or pay rolls, to individuals entitled to receive it, or to the officers designated by the Commandant* to administer the financial affairs of the messes in which such individuals may be subsisted.
Money paid for commuted rations to the designated officer may be deposited in general or limited depositories of public money or in any bank in which deposits are insured. Such funds shall be expended and accounted for under such regulations as the Secretary shall prescribe.
Nothing contained in this section shall be construed as modifying or changing in any manner the provisions of law pertaining to subsistence allowances for enlisted members, but no ration or commutation thereof shall be allowed an individual receiving a subsistence allowance.
