DATE: April 12, 1982


MATTER OF: Herman H. Janzen


DIGEST:


Employee in Seattle, Washinlgton, who was
assigned to temporary duty in Atlanta,
Georgia, departed early and traveled by
way of Minneapolis and Aitken, Minnesota*
He qualified for a supersever fag',s by
departi.g early and, within the construc-
tive cost of full fare travel, he claims
costs of travel between Minneapolis and
Aitken. Although reasonable and necestary
costs incurred as a resllt of early 4epar-
ture may be paid, not to exceed the savings
attributable to such early departure, the
employee's presentation if a lump-sum receipt
from his relative does not demonstrate that
he in fact incurred reasonable and necessary
costs which may be reimbursed by the Government.


     This decision responds to a request from an authorized
certifying officer with the Department of Health arid Human
Services concerning the reclaim voucher submitted by
Mr. Herman H. Janzen for certain travel expenses incurred
in connection with temporary duty travel.   The issue pre-
sented is whether Mr. Janzen .ay be reimbursed the   1O0
amount paid to his brother for round trip transportation
between Minneapolis and Aitken, Minnesota, when he trav-
eled to a temporary dtuty assignment in Atlanta, Georgia.
We hold Mr. Janzen may not be reimbursed the amount in
issue.

     Mr. Janzen, an employee of the Department of Health
and Human Services whose duty station is Seattle, WashW
ington, was authorized temporary duty travel to Atlanta,
Csorgia, to attend a training course which began on Monday,
November 3, 1980. He departed his duty station at 8 a.m.
on Friday, October 31, 1981, arriving in Minneapolis,
Minnesota, at 1:30 p.m. en route to his interim desti-
nation Aiken, Minnesota. The following morning he
traveled with his brother by automobile to Aitken in
lieu of travel by air to that point. They returned
to Minneapolis by automobile Sunday, November 2, in
time for Mr. Janzen. to leave at 6:30 p.m. for Atlanta.
