Modjeaka - What constitutes Temporary Quarters DIGEST: Transferred employee arranged in advance to rent former residence after date of closing on sale because temporary quarters, although available, were expensive and not convenient. Claim for temporary quarters subsistence ex- peases for period of continued occupancy of former residence may not be certified for pay- ment since the residence at the old duty station was not vacated within the meaning of FTR para. 2-5.2c. An authorized certifying officer of the Department of Labor has requested our determination of the propriety of payment of the claim of Mr. Gerald L. Modjeska for reimbursement for temporary quarters subsistence expences incident to a transfer. In January 1976, Mr. Modjeask was transferred by tie Depart- ment of Labor from Round Lake, Illinois, to Deerfield, Wisconsin. Incident thereto, Mr. Modjeska placed his residence in Round Lake for sale and atte pted to secure temporary living quarters at the new duty station. However, because of the large size of his family, nine members, Mr. Modjeoka was unsucctsaful in locating suitable temporary quarters in Deerfield and he elected therefore to rent his former residence from the purchaser until permanent quarters could be obtained at his new duty station. The contract for sale of Mr. Midjeska's former residence provides for continued occupancy by Mr. Hodieaka and his family for up to 45 days from the date of settlement at a stipulated rental of $23 per day. Mr. Modjeska's faily remained in their former residence for 15 days after settle- ment for which period Mr. Modjeska is seeking reimbursement in the mount of $425 for rent ($345) and subsistence ($80). The record shows that the closest available suitable temporary lodgings were in Madison, Wiscc.isin, the nearest cfty to Deerfield, where two motel rooms were available at a cost of $24 per day. The certifying officer recommands that payment of Mr. Modjeaka's claim be authorized.
