Ferraro - Reimbursement of Temporary Quarters Subsistence Expenses File: B-227497 Date: October 30, 198T DIGEST A transferred employee stayed with a relative near his new duty station and delayed occupying temporary quarters pending the arrival of his family. The employee's family decided not to move to his new duty station, and the employee then made a claim for temporary quarters subsistence expenses for a 30-day period which occurred nearly 2 years after his transfer. Paragraph 2-5.2e of the Federal Travel Regulations requires that in order to qualify for temporary quarters reimbursement, occupancy must begin not later than 30 days after reporting for duty or not later than 30 days after the family vacates the residence at the old station. Where there is no delayed travel by the family, temporary quarters may not be paid unless the occupancy of temporary quarters commences within 30 days after the employee reports for duty. DECISION This decision is in response to a request from the Director, Office of Budget and Accounting (Comptroller), Veterans Administration. It concerns the entitlement of an employee to be reimbursed for temporary quarters subsistence expenses incident to a permanent change of station in July 1983. The claim as presented may not be paid for the following reason. BACKGROUND Mr. Albert J. Ferraro, an employee of the Veterans Administration, was transferred from Jacksonville, Florida, to St. Petersburg, Florida, with a reporting date of July 18, 1983. He was authorized travel for his spouse and dependent children, transportation of his household goods, real estate sale and purchase expense reimbursement, as well as temporary quarters for a period not to exceed 30 days.
