Cook - Temporary Quarters Subsistence Expenses - Interruption for Approved Sick Leave DIGEST: An injured employee on sick leave was transferred from Hong Kong to Dallas, Texas. On arrival in Dallas he reported by telephone to his supervisor and was officially entered on duty on January 17, 1983, without physically appearing at the office. Following surgery and recupera- tion, he returned to Dallas and reported for duty on March 7, 1983. He claims temporary quarters expenses for January 11 through 14 and March 6 through 26, 1983. The claim is allowed. While that inter- ruption of temporary quarters occupancy did not involve official necessity as that term is used in FTR para. 2-5.2a, it does constitute a proper basis to permit extension of the 30 consecutive days since the period of surgery and recuperation was covered by approved sick leave. See B-165902, January 23, 1969. This decision is in response to a request from the Acting Assistant Regional Commissioner, Immigration and Naturalization Service, Southern Region, Dallas, Texas, concerning the entitlement of an employee to be reimbursed for temporary quarters subsistence expenses incident to a permanent change of station in January 1983. We hold that the employee is entitled to be reimbursed. FACTS The employee, Mr. Bobby L. Cook, was stationed in Hong Kong, China. On December 7, 1982, he sustained a knee injury which was apparently of sufficient severity to require surgery. Due to a number of problems associated with surgery in Hong Kong and since Mr. Cook had already completed the minimum required overseas service time for transfer purposes, he sought and received a reassignment to the Dallas Office of the Immigration Service.
