MATTER


DIGEST:


0108


DATE:   Fbruary 13, 19T5


OF: Jack P. Collins - Subsiatence Allowance -
    Loan Fee

 1. Transferred employee's claim for tem-
    porary quarters experses for con-
    tinued occupancy of former residence
    after household goods were removed
    ray not be allowed. Residence at old
    duty station was not vacated within
    the meaning of FTR para. 2-5.2c. Nor
    my  claim for temporary quarters expense.!
    for occupancy of residence at new duty
    station before household goods were
    delivred  be allowed. Evidence shows
    employee's intent was to 'ccupy new resi-
    dence on a permanent as!s.


2.  aount  of $637, paid by employee as a
    loan fee to obtain a mortgage on his
    new residence is not reimbursable since
    &t is a finance charge under the Truth
    in Lending Act and Regulation Z. See
    para. 2-6 2d of the FTR.


     This decision arises from a request dated September 9, 1977,
from William J. Buckingham, an authorized certifying officer of
the Energy Research and Development Administration, now the Depart-
ment of Energy,-concerning the propriety of reimbursing Mr. Jack P.
Collins for certain expenses he incurred in connection with a change
of his permanent duty sation.

     Mr. Collins, an employee at the Schenectady Naval Reactors, was
transferred to the Richland Operations Office in Richland, Washington.
Mr. Collins sold his house in Scotia, New York, and bought another
in Richland.  He reported to his new duty station on February 7, 1977,
and claimed reimbursement for shipment of hiusehold goods, temporary
quarters, real estate expenses,and miscellaneous expenses.

     Mr. Collins was reimbursed for all the subsistence expenses he
claimed except $106.50, representing the cost of meals for himself
and his family on January 24 and 25, and February 12, 1977. Of that
