Werner - Household Goods Shipment - Use in Temporary Quarters Matter of: B-232375 File: Date: May 31, 1989 DIGEST 1. A transferred employee's household goods were shipped and were placed in commercial storage at destination. Most of those household goods were then moved to his temporary quarters. Those household goods and the rest of the household goods in storage were later moved to his permanent quarters. Under chapter 2, part 8, of the Federal Travel Regulations, the government's cost of transportation and temporary storage shall not exceed the cost on a construc- tive basis of transporting the goods in one lot from old to new station, temporary storage, and movement of the goods in one lot from storage. Since the expenses previously paid by the government were less than constructive costs, the employee may be reimbursed the additional cost of moving his household goods from temporary to permanent quarters, not to exceed the constructive cost limitation. 2. A transferred employee whose household goods were shipped under the actual expense method exceeded the constructive cost of transporting the goods in one lot, temporary storage at the destination and movement of the goods to permanent quarters, because a portion of his goods were moved from storage into temporary quarters and later to permanent quarters. The expenses incurred by the employee in excess of constructive costs may be reimbursed as a temporary quarters subsistence expense since the goods were used to furnish temporary quarters. Aaron L. Howe, B-217435, Aug. 29, 1985. DECISION This decision is in response to a request from an Authorized Certifying Officer, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Department of the Interior. It concerns the entitlement of a BLM employee to be reimbursed certain expenses incurred for the transportation and storage of his household goods incident to a permanent change of station.
