PD0O54S FILE: B-J MATTER OF DIGEST: .89?43 DATE: July 10, 1978 Philip Fine - Temporary Quarters Subsistence Allowance Employee, incident to transfer to new duty station, moved into apartment and then moved to another apartment because he was not satisfied with the maintenance, care, and services provided by the management company. Employee claims temporary quarters subsistence allowance for tho period in which he lived in this apartment. Claim may not be aLowed because employee's intent when he moved in was clearly to occupy quarters on a permanent basis. This action is in response to the request for an advance deci- sion from Mary B. Wills, an authorized certifying officer of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Department of the Treasury, whether she may certify for payment the voucher of Mr. Philip Fine, an employee of IRS, for temporary quarters subsistence allowance claimed in connection with a permanent change of duty station. Mr. Fine was transferred from Brooklyn, Now York, to Wash- ington, D.C., on December 13, 1976. Mr. Fine was authorized a house-hunting trip and temporary quarters subsistence allowance while awaiting the arrival of his household goods. We have been informally advised that Mr. Fine spent December 18 through De- cember 24 in Washingtoi looking for permanent quarters. On .an- uary 15 and 16, 1977, Mr. Fine occupied a motel for two days in Washington, D. C. , while he was waiting for his household goods to arrive. Mr. Fine's furniture was delivered to an apartmnen! in Alexandria, Virginia, and he moved into this aprrtment the amine day. Mr. Fine was not satisfied with the maintenance services being provided at thr Alexandria apsrtmnnt. On February 7, 1977, his authorization for temporary quarters was amended because the 1r- conmodations at the first apartment were not considered adequate. On February 13, 1977. he moved to another.apairtmient. The issue presented in this case is whether Mr. Fine can be reimbursed temporary quarters subsistence allowance for the period during which he lived in the Alexand'ria apartment. I I
