handle is hein.gao/gaobadmko0001 and id is 1 raw text is: THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL OECISION • OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINQTON. D.C. 20548 FILE: B-213777 DATE: August 8, 1986 MATTER OF: Richard E. Garofalo - Temporary Duty Lodging and Other Expenses DIGEST: 1. An employee who performed temporary duty travel asserted a claim for lodg- ing expenses incident to that travel. That claim was denied in decisions B-213777, October 2, 1984, and June 3, 1985, since Federal Travel Regula- tions, paragraph 1-8.5 requires docu- mentation of lodging expenses and documents submitted failed to convinc- ingly support his claim. He has now provided additional information. Since that information demonstrates both pay- ment and the amount thereof, the claim may now be allowed. 2. An employee who was being reimbursed temporary duty travel on an actual expense basis asserted a claim for laundry and dry cleaning expense. Normal laundry and dry cleaning is deemed an accumulated expense and is to be pro rated over temporary duty period. Since his total daily expenses were considerably less than the maxi- mum daily rate authorized, he may be reimbursed the daily pro rata cost of laundry and dry cleaning during that period. 3. Employee used quarters during temporary duty that did not have telephone ser- vice included within the cost of the quarters. He may be reimbursed as part of his cost of lodgings for the monthly service charge for tele- phone service, but he may not be reim- bursed for installation charge absent a finding that the installation of the telephone was a matter of official necessity. 3 C-73 7
