Ballentine File: B-206 508 Date: March 9, 1987 DIGEST An employee, who moved with his family and household goods from his old duty station in Detroit, Michigan, to an apart- ment in St. Louis, Missouri, pending either his disability retirement or transfer to Houston, Texas, is not entitled to temporary quarters subsistence expenses. When his applica- tion for disability retirement was denied, he reported for duty at Houston and established an apartment residence there for himself only, and did not provide any evidence that he - had sought other permanent quarters. Neither the apartment in St. Louis or Houston constituted temporary quarters, and the expenses in St. Louis were not incident to the transfer as required by Federal Travel Regulations. DECISION The subject of this decision is the appeal of the disallowance by our Claims Group of the claim by Mr. Krim M. Ballentine, a former employee of the U.S. Marshals Service, for temporary quarters subsistence expenses incurred in connection with his transfer from Detroit, Michigan, to Houston, Texas. We sustain the disallowance of the claim since the expenses claimed were for permanent rather than temporary quarters for himself and his family, and were not incurred incident to establishing a residence at the new duty station. BACKGROUND Mr. Ballentine was advised that he would be transferred from Detroit, Michigan, to Houston, Texas, where he was to report on November 28, 1982. He suffered an injury while perform- ing active duty tralning with his military reserve unit, and could not work for 9 rniths. Additionally, he applied for a disability retiri-nl-t. As a result his reporting date in Houston was postpon-. '1 a determination by the Office O3~-~ j ,j -3(/
