handle is hein.gao/gaobadnqk0001 and id is 1 raw text is: ,~za ~*The Comptroller General of the United States Waskinstom, D.C. 206 Decision Vickie S. Oliver - Temporary Quarters Subsistence Matterof: Expenses File: B-235279 Date: November 15, 1989 DIGEST A transferred employee who occupied temporary quarters at the home of a relative claimed expenses for this lodging and the costs of restaurant meals itemized at the same daily amount. The employee's lodging claim is denied because she has not furnished evidence showing that her relative incurred additional expenses as a result of the employee's stay. The employee's claim for meal costs may not be allowed based on the present record because her listing of identical daily amounts for meals appears to be an estimate, and estimates are not acceptable evidence of actual expenses. DECISION This decision is in response to a request for an advance decision submitted by a finance and accounting officer of the United States Army Intelligence and Security Command, through the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee. The Army asks whether Ms. Vickie S. Oliver, a civilian employee who occupied temporary quarters pursuant to a transfer, may be reimbursed for the expenses of lodqing at a relative's home, and also whether her claim for meal costs at the same daily amount may be allowed. For the reasons explained below, we hold that Ms. Oliver is not entitled to be paid expenses for lodging with a relative. Ms. Oliver's claim for meal expenses may not be allowed based on the present record because her listing of the same daily amounts appears to be an estimate rather than a statement of actual expenses.
