C. 20548 FILE: B-193885 DATE: June 8, 1979 MATTER OF: Irving R. Warnasch blaim for Real Estate and Temporary Quarters Expense DIGEST: 1. Employee, who transferred from New York, New York, to Atlanta, Georgia, claims temporary quarters expenses at location near his new residence in Florida. Claim may be allowed since temporary quarters need not be located in vicinity of either old or new duty station. Also, employee nec- essarily occupied temporary quarters although he had purchased new residence because his family had to remain at old residence in connection with its sale, utilities were not connected in new residence, and employee had to buy beds and other fur- niture for new house. 2. Employee, who transferred to Atlanta, Georgia, claims real estate expenses for purchase of residence which is not located near new duty station. Claim may not be allowed since employee does not commute to station daily and Atlanta is not in remote area. However, since employee states that he does not regularly report to his new duty station, his claim may be reconsidered if he submits evidence that his new duty station was designated primarily for per diem purposes. See Robert H. Van Winkle, B-184004, April 27, 1976. This action is in response to the appeal by Mr. Irving R. Warnasch, an employee of the Small Business Administration (SBA), of the determination by our Claims Division denying his claim for real estate and temporary quarters subsistence expenses incident to a change of official duty station. The question presented for decision is whether Mr. Warnasch is entitled to reimbursement for real estate and temporary quarters expenses where his new residence and his temporary quarters were not located at his new duty station.
