C. 20548 tITEV FILE: DATE:SEP 21976 B-185508 MATTER OF: John Castaneda - Claim for Temporary Quarters Subsistence Expenses DIGEST: 1. Department of Defense employee's claim for reimbursement of temporary quarters subsistence expenses incurred incident to transfer to new official duty station in the Canal Zone is allowable where claimant intended to move to family-type quarters when they became available but lived in permanent bachelor-type Government quarters during 46 days of the 60-day entitlement period. 2. The description of temporary quarters in FTR para. 2-5.2c and 2 JTR para. C8250 as any lodging obtained from private or commercial sources does not prohibit the payment of temporary quarters subsistence allowance when permanent-type Government- owned quarters are occupied temporarily. This is in response to a request by the Per Diem, Travel, and Transportation Allowance Committee, PDTATAC Control No. 75-34, for an advance decision whether Mr. John Castaneda is entitled to temporary quarters subsistence expenses for the cost of lodging, meals, and laundry incurred for the period of July 16 through August 30, 1974, during which time he occupied Government-owned quarters. The pertinent facts as they appear in the record are that Mr. Castaneda 'Was transferred to his new official duty station at the Defense Mapping Agency in the Canal Zone effective July 2, 1974, to be joined later by his wife and two children. Upon ar- riving in the Canal Zone on July 2, 1974, he was assigned to quarters which were acknowledged to be for transient personnel, and he remained in those quarters until July 16, 1974, when he was assigned to permanent-type Government quarters suitable for a bachelor or unaccompanied employee of his grade level. Upon arrival of dependents on November 1, 1974, the employee and dependents continued to reside in these quarters, on a tem- porary basis, by special permission of the Housing Officer until November 29, 1974, when family quarters became available.
