Whalen - Actual Subsistence Expenses DIGEST: On basis of record presented, employee whose temporary duty assignment in California in spring 1970 was iaterrupted by 2-weeks' tem- porary duty in New London, Connecticut, may not be paid actual expense allowance based on his having incurred dual lodging costs by retaining California accommodations while in Connecticut. Vhile we have posed no objection to payment of actual subsistence expenses under section 6.12 of OMB Circular No. A-7, based on determination by appropriate official that it was necessary for employee to retain lodgings at first point of temporary duty while on peripheral assignents, no such determination has been made in the present case. By letter dated October 9, 1974, Mr. Charles F. Whalen, a former Department of the Nlavy, Philadelphia Naval Shipyard eployee, asks our reconsideration of the disallowance of his claim for additional sub- sistence exp enses by our Transportation and Claims Division Settlement Certificate No. 7-2477960 dated July 1, 1974. Mr. Whalen was assigned to temporary duty at the Mare Island Naval Shipyard in Vallejo, Califurnia, for a period of some 6 months begining March 23, 1970. That assignaent was interrupted by a further temporary duty assignment to New London, Connecticut, for the period from May 28 through June 8, 1970. Throughout the period covered by both assignments Mr. Wdhalem was paid a per dica at the then applicable maxim=n rate of $25 per day. In view of the fact that he maintained lodgings in California during the period of temporary duty in 1;aw London, the employee submitted a voucher claing reimbursement for the $92.40 he paid for lodgings in New London. The amount claimed is supported by vouchers from three motels in whiIch he stayed while in iew London. Disallowance of Mr. Whalen's claim was predicated on the fact that the record presented did not meet the criteria for payment of actual subsistence expenses in excess of the $25 prescribed per diem as set
