                             TH  E COMPTROLLER GENERAL
 DECISION                     OF   THE UNITED STATES
                              WASHINGTON. D.C_. 20549




FILE:  B-181178                     DATE:   February 18,1975

MATTER OF: Andres Perez;-Velez - Temporary Quarters Allowance


DIGEST:

    Since employee's reemployment was effective more than 1 year
    after his separation by reason of transfer of functions, 5
    U.S.C. 5724(a)(c) and implementing regulations which consti-
    tute authority for granting employee who is reemployed within
    1 year of date of separation the same travel, transportation
    and relocation benefits payable to other employees incident
    to transfer of official station are inapplicable and employee
    is not entitled to reimbursement for temporary quarters sub-
    sistence expense.


    This action is a reconsideration of Settlement Certificate
Z-2479461, October 18, 1973, by the Transportation and Claims Divi-
sion of the United States General Accounting Office, disallowing the
claim of Mr. Andres Perez-Velez for additional reimbursement for tem-
porary quarters subsistence expense incident to Mr. Perez-Velez's
reporting to his first official duty station at Corpus Christi, Texas
as an employee of the Department of the Navy and holding Mr. Perez-Velez
to be indebted to the United States in the amount of $1,965.86 due to
an erroneous payment for temporary quarters subsistence expense.

    The settlement indicates that pursuant to Travel Order T-1018/72,
dated July 6, 1971, which showed the purpose of travel as New
Appointee from Overseas Area Mr. Perez-Velez was authorized tempo-
rary quarters subsistence Expense for himself and his family, not to
exceed 60 days.  It further appears that Mr. Perez-Velez occupied tem-
porary quarters in the Naval Air Station BOQ from July 12, 1971, until
joined by his family on July 25, 1971, when the entire family moved
into a local motel.  Permanent quarters were occupied on September 4,
1971.  Reimbursement had been made for temporary quarters subsistence
expense in the amount of $1,965.86. Mr. Perez-Velez claimed an
additional $317.00

    In denying Mr. Perez-Velez's claim, our Transportation and Claims
Division concluded that paragraph C8254 of Joint Travel Regulations,
Volume 2, effective January 1, 1970, specifically precluded reimburse-
ment of temporary quarters subsistence expense for a new appointee
