MATTER OF:


DIGEST:


7/644


1. Transferred employee, who was authorized
    temporary quarters subsistence e;npenseu,
    arranged for wife and two children to
    stay with his mother-in-law,  He tlaims
    8,l5 per day for their meals and   l.67
    per day for their laundry expense. Ageicy
    determined that expenditures were un-
    reasonable since statistical data showed
    that reasonable'expenditure would be  4,75
    per day for meals, Agency determination
    i roveread since agency failed to consider
    that employee's mother-in-law prepared
    the meals and reasonableness of amounts
    paid,


         2. Transferred employee, who was authorized
             temporary quarters subsistence expenses,
             agreed to pay mother-in-law for lodging
             for his wife and two children. Agency
             determination, that a6 per day for lodging
             was unreasonable is reversed as arbitrary.
             We find rate reasonabla since $6 was con-
             siderably less than commercial rate,
             mother-in-law experienced inconvenience
             in providing cleaning services for house
             and yard and linens, and there was signi-
             ficant increased use of host's utilities,

     Mr, George H. Beail, an employee of the Department
of the Army, has appoaled the action of our Claims Divi-
sion (now Claims Group) which by settlement certificate
Z-1817468 dated June 30, 1976, disallowed his claim for
additional temporary quarters subsistence expenses (TQSE)
reprosenting the amounts h6 paid his mother-in-law -ttrib-
tatbltw -Toom-board--and --lund ry- expensets-that- she-pre-o'_  -
vided to his wife and two children. For the following
reasons, we hold that Mr. Beail is entitled to additional
TOSE reimbursement.

     Tncident to a transfer from Washington, D.C., to
Anchorage, Alaska, Mr. Bez.il's family occupied temporary
quarters in his mother-in-law's home in Walla Walla,
Washington, from May 6, 1974 through July 4, 1974. In
