OP THE UNITEODSTATES WASHINGTON. 0.C. 05S48 9 U'NIT0 FILE: B-215773 DATE: December 3, 198h MATTER OF: Joseph F. Heavey - Reimbursement for Temporary Quarters Subsistence Expenses DIGEST: Veterans Administration employee who was transferred seeks reim- bursement for cost of first month's subsistence expenses after relocation on the basis that he occupied temporary quarters. Employee and family resided during that time in a home he eventually purchased. The employee's claim for temporary quarters subsistence expenses is denied because the record contains insufficient indicia of his intention to tempo- rarily reside in the home. Further, the amended travel regu- lations are not applicable here since the employee reported to duty prior to the October 1, 1982, effective date of the amendment. This decision is in response to a request for review of an employee's temporary quarters subsistence expense reimbursement claim from Conrad R. Hoffman, Director, Office of Budget and Finance, Veterans Administration (VA), Washington, D.C. The VA has denied the employee's claim for $3,345, citing several items of evidence which suggested that the employee did not reside in temporary quarters since he intended to reside permanently in the home he inhabited during the first month after his relocation. The Director asks our Office to review the claim in view of a change in the Federal Travel Regulations, FPMR 101-7 (September 1981) (FTR), para. 2-5.2c., which altered the definition of temporary quarters for reimbursement purposes. For the reasons that follow, we find insufficient indicia of the employee's intent to reside temporarily in his new home and advise that the employee's reimburs- able expenses are governed by the regulations in effect
