Schultz - Actual Subsistence Expense - Laundry Expenses DIGCST: 1. An Internal Revenue Service employee who had been in an actual subsistence expense travel status requested reimbursement for laundry expenses which were incurred after he had returned to his permanent duty sta- tion arod after his official travel status had ended. ederal Travel Regulations para- graph l-8.1a permits reimbursement of an employee's expenses on an actual subsis- tence expense basis only for expenses which are incurred during official travel. Since these expenses were incurred after employee's travel status had ended, they are not reimbursable. I Cl 2. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) disallowed employee's claim for laundry expenses because he stayed for less than 7 consecu- tLive days as was required by 4 Comp. Gen. 88 (1924). That decision is no longer applicable because it was based or an IRS regulation that no longer exists. Virginia Leist, an authorized certifying officer of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Centrdl Region, Cincinnati, Ohio, requests an advance decision as to whe.her an employee's laundry expenses may be reimbursed as actual. expenses of several trips to two high rate geographical areas (IIRGAs). For the reasons stated below, we hold that the laundry expen- ses are not reimburamble because they were incurred after the employee's travel status ended. Mr. Carl J. Schultz, a special agent with the IRS in the Louisville District, was assigned to 19 days of temporary a duty at two IRGAs during March 1902. Mr. Schultz spent 9 con- secutive days in Miami, Florida, and 11 duys in periods rang- ing from 1 to 4 consecutivu days, in Lexington, Kentucky. When he returned from these two IILGA cities, he claimed laundry expenses totaling $28.69 over the 19 days, at $1.51 for each day. The IRS refusud to allow Mr. Schultz's laundry expenses
