Rosenlof - Temporary Quarters Subsistence Matter of: Expenses B-227381 File: Date: September 29, 1987 DIGEST A transferred employee purchased a residence under construction. Pending its completion, he and his family lived in other quarters and were reimbursed temporary quarters subsistence expenses. Upon construction completion, the employee and his family moved into the new house on a rental basis pending settlement, and he claims a continuing right to temporary quarters based on fact that the temporary quarters authorization period which covered in part the new house rental period, was issued before he began that occupancy. The claim is denied. Under paragraph 2-5.2 of the Federal Travel Regulations, tne allowance is authorized only while the employee is in temporary quarters. Once an employee occupies a residence with the intention to make it his permanent residence, entitlement to temporary quarters terminates. DECISION This decision is in response to a request from an Authorized Certifying Officer, Department of the Interior. It concerns the entitlement of an employee of the Bureau of Reclamation to be reimbursed temporary quarters subsistence expenses during the period he occupied the house that became his permanent residence. We hold that the employee may not be so reimbursed, for the following reasons. BACKGROUND Mr. Kent N. Rosenlof, an employee of the Bureau of Reclama- tion in Salt Lake City, Utah, was transferred to the Bureau's Denver, Colorado, office, with a reporting date of October 29, 1986. The travel authorization issued to him authorized, among other things, round-trip travel to seek permanent quarters, not to exceed 10 days and temporary quarters not to exceed 30 days less the prior period actually spent househunting.
