Peyskr DIGESr; Where employee attends lunchnon pat.d for by Government whill, on travel to high rate geographical area, his reimbursement for actual subsistence expenses, ctherwiA'e l.,mited to 45, should be r luced by the value of lunch furnished by Government, Mr Daniel B. Peyser, an employee of the V.S, Metric, Board, appeals the Claims Group's denial of hin claim for additional travel expenses incident to temporary duty. Specifically, Mr. Peyser appeals the Claims Group's deter- mination that he is not entitled to an additional q9.15 actual subsistence expensesreimburtement The $9.15 was the cost of a worlshop luncheon ahtnded by Mr. Peyser? Because the cost. of that luncheon was paid by the Metric Board Lhe agency reduced the $45 limitation on his actual subsistence expense reimbursement for that day by the amount uf $9.15. We concur with the action of the Claims Group in sustaining the Metric Board's disallowance of mr. Peyser's claim. According to the record, Mr. Peyser performed temporary duity in Ufashville, Tennessee, a high rate geographical area, from September 23 to September 25, 1980. His travel orders, among other things, authorized him actual subsistcnce expenses up to $45 a day. On September 24, 1980, the claimant indicates that his official duties required him to attend a worfshop Luncheon. When Mr. Peyser claimed his actual expenses for September 24, he was informed that his reimbursement was reduced by the cost of the luncheon. Specifically, he was told that the luncheon was paid for by the U.S. Metric Board out of appropriated funds and thus the amount ($9.15) had to be deducted from his maxiinum entitlement og $45. lie was reim- bursed $35.85. Since his expenses for 'September 24, even without lunch, were $60.07, Mr. Peyser seeks payment of the withheld $9.15. The Claims Group, relying on 42 Comp. Gen, 549 (1963), informed Mr. Peystr that an appropriate deduction from his actual subsistence expense reimburserent was required for the luncheon since it Was paid for by the Government.
