FILE: B-193412 DATE: August 3, 1979 MATTER OF: Ronald H. Brown -LComputation of Subsistence Expenses While Occupying Temporary Quarters Transferred employee submitted two claims on same date for subsistence while occupying temporary quarters, one for himself while occupying tempo- rary quarters at new station from March 1 to May 3, 1977, and one for wife and two children at old station from May 2 to May 30, 1977. He is entitled to subsistence from May 1 to May 30, 1977. Employee may claim for period when he occupies temporary quarters by himself or when his family vacates old residence. Also, he may claim sub- sistence for family for period when he is away from his station on temporary duty, receives per diem, and is not entitled to subsistence. Mr. Ronald H. Brown, Special Agent, United States Secr t. Service, has appealed the disallowance by our CTa~ims Ivision of'his claim for subsistence of his family while they occupied temporary quarters from May 1 to May 30, 1977, incident to his transfer of station. The appeal involves two questions: (1) whether an employee is required to claim subsistence ex- penses while occupying temporary quarters only for the 30-day period that begins when he occupies temporary quarters at his new station even if his family remains at the residence at his old station;/and (2) whether an employee may receive subsistence expenses for his family while he is away from hi station on a temporary duty assignment and is paid per diem For.the reasons stated below, we answer the first question in the negative and the second question in the affirmative. The answers to the two questions increase Mr. Brown's entitlement to reimbursement, and our Claims Division will issue a settlement for .the amount due if the claim is otherwise proper. Mr. Brown was transferred from Atlanta, Georgia, to Washington, D.C., and was authorized 30 days subsistence while occupying temporary quarters. He occupied temporary quarters at his new station from March 1 to May 3, 1977, except for periods of temporary duty away from his station. He also was away from Washington on temporary duty from May 4 to June 15, DIGEST:
