This decision is in response to a request dated May 13, 1977, .from the Director, Finance and Accounting, Office of the Regional Director (Region VIII), Department of Health, Education, and Welfare for an advance decision as to the propriety of paying several claims of Mr. Jack M. Bunten, an employea of the Social Security Adminis- tration, for mileage costs for travel from hia residence to his official duty station and return on days Immediately preceding and following temporary duty travel. Mr. Bunton claims mileage on the ground that he carried official equipmeat or records on these trips bttween his home and his office. Our Office has long herd that there is no authority for reimzursirg an employee for travel between his residence and his office. This is an expense thet must be borne by the employee. 19 Comp.
