Grandelli - Temporary Quarters Subsistence Expenses - Meal Costs File: B-226937 Date: June 10, 1988 DIGEST A Veterans Administration employee transferred from Michigan to New York was authorized 60 days of temporary quarters subsistence expenses. He was allowed full payment in the amount of $3,256.81 on his claim for reimbursement of his meal costs based on his itemized listing of the actual cost of each meal and an agency determination that these costs were reasonable. Additional reimbursement is denied on a supplemental claim in the amount of $950 for groceries the employee later asserted had been transported from Michigan to New York and used in temporary quarters.

Furthermore, the record shows that the $950 claimed was an estimate. Such estimate is insufficient to establish actual grocery costs, as the regulations require.

Grandelli is rot entitled to additional temporary quarters subsistence expenses claimed in the amount of $950.1/ BACKGROUND Mr. Grandelli is an employee of the Veterans Administration.
