THE' L-4ftI JTE 0.9TATES8 'NAH I N G TO0 N, 03 2 20 5 4 83 FILE: B-l96774 DATE: August 19,~J~ MATTER OF: Joseph B. Marcotte, Jr. DIGEST: 1. Employee whose household effects were shipped under actual expense method, seeks monetary credit for value of packing services he pro- vided. Under actual expense method contract for shipment is between Government and carrier. As there is no regulation under the actual expense method which authorizes an allowance for ser- vices voluntarily provided by an employee, even though the expense of such services would be reim- bursable if provided by an autho- rized carrier, employee may not be credited for value of packing services. 2. Employee who occupied temporary quarters at new duty station was disallowed reimbursement for . expenses of groceries on basis that Regional Office required receipt.s for all grocery expenses. Paragraph 2-5.4b of the Federal Travel Regulations (FPMR 101-7) (May 1973), in effect, provides head of agency with discretion to require receipts for subsistence expenses other than for lodging and laundry and cleaning expenses, for which receipts are required by the FTR. As agency-wide regu- lations do not require receipts for groceries or delegate author- ity to require receipts, but require only that such claims be reasonable in amount, claim may be allowed if otherwise proper.
