Storer - Temporary Quarters Subsistence Matterof- Expense - Extension Period Limitation File: B-230788 Date: August 8, 1988 DIGEST A transferred employee purchased a yet-to-be constructed residence which was not scheduled for completion until a date beyond the 60-day period of temporary quarters for subsistence expenses (TQSE). The agency denied his request for an additional 15 days TQSE.

On March 23, 1987, Mr. Storer reported for duty at his new station and thereafter began his initial 60-day TQSE period. He settled on his new residence on June 9, 1987,
