Whitley - Temporary Quarters - Subsistence Expenses - Reconsideration DIGEST: Employee, who was transferred from Greenville, Mississippi, to Dyersburg, Tennessee, moved into a residence under construction in Dyersburg which he had contracted to buy and which he subsequently did buy. Even though he did not incur househunting trip and tempo- rary storage expenses, the fact that there may have been a savings to the Government is no basis to allow employee reimbursement for temporary quarters subsistence expenses incurred while living in the house he bought, even though incomplete, since those quarters were not temporary. This is in response to a letter of December 6, 1982, from Mr. Henry W. Whitley, which was forwarded to our Office by a congressional source, requesting reconsidera- tion of our decision Henry W. Whitley, B-198026; June 11, 1980, which disallowed his claim for temporary quarters subsistence expenses because the employee occupied perma- nent quarters. For the reasons stated below we sustain our prior decision. FACTS Mr. Whitley was transferred from Greenville, Mississippi, to Dyersburg, Tennessee, pursuant to orders effective October 24, 1979, and was authorized relocation expenses including 30 days temporary quarters allowance. Upon arriving at his new duty station, Mr. Whitley made arrangements to purchase a home which was still under construction. At that time only the bedroom facilities had been completed; however, the contractor agreed to allow Mr. Whitley to move in with his furniture at no charge until construction was completed to the point where it would be feasible for his family to also occupy the house.
