Matterof:  Charles P. Ball - Relocation Expenses

File:      B-223407

Date:      June 18, 1987

DIGEST

1.    Employee leased a house for the period of his temporary
duty. At the end of his temporary duty he was converted to
permanent duty but his lease required him to vacate the
house. He may be paid temporary quarters subsistence
expenses during the period he vacated the house and occupied
an apartment where he reoccupied the house as soon as it
became available since the record supports a determination

to the sale of his residence at his old duty station even
though he did not occupy the residence at the time of his
permanent transfer since he would have been residing in the
residence but for the action of the Government in assigning
him to long-term temporary duty at the new duty station.

DECISION

An employee's claim for temporary quarters subsistence
expenses for the period he occupied a furnished apartment
after he had vacated a house he had leased for the period of
his temporary duty assignment may be paid where subsequent to
his conversion from temporary to permanent duty, he
reoccupied the house as soon as it was again available.  The
same employee may be reimbursed real estate expenses for the
sale of his residence at his old duty station even though he
had not occupied it since he would have occupied it but for
his temporary duty assignment. 1/
