Under authority delegated to the Department of State by the Comptroller General of the United States, SF-1190 is prescribed to provide a uniform method of: (1) applying for payment of allowances and the difficult-to-staff incentive differential (and post hardship differential and danger pay if application required by employing agency) by employees; and (2) recording the authorization of allowances and the difficult-to-staff incentive differential to employees for payment and audit procedures. (Post hardship differential and danger pay are already granted to eligible employees under the provisions of Section 520 and Section 651, respectively, of these regulations and need not be authorized on SF-1190.
