handle is hein.gao/gaobadnxn0001 and id is 1 raw text is: #A~uin..Comptrofer General ot the United Ste WeWagww, D.0, 2064.1 Decision Matter of: Regina W. Bonds Vile: 1-239153 Date: July 30, 1991 Mrs. Regina W. Bonds, an employee of the Farmers Home Administration, was transferred from Nacogdoches, Texas, to Beaumont, Texas, and teported for duty on July 17, 1989. On the day she reported for duty at her new station, she requested and was granted 30 days of annual leave to begin the following day because of a faitily emergency. According to Mrs. Bonds, her husband had undergone arthroscopic surgery on July 6, 1989, and she had to returu to Nacogdoches to care for him during his recovery period. On September 5, 1989, she returned to the Beaumont office for duty from ainual leave. She had been authorized 60 days of tempcrary quarters occupancy and she claime'd temporary quarters subsistence expenses beginning September 5, 1989. Between September 5' and November 3 she occupied temporary quarters in Beaumont and returned to her2,residence in' Nacogdoches on weekends to be with her husband. On Novem- ber 6, 1989, she requested an additional 60-day period of temporary quarters because the circumstances she encountered during the-earlier period were continuing. That extension was eventually approved with a not-to-exceed date of November 16, 1989, including the 30--day period she was on annual leave. A The agency now questions'her entitlement to:.be reimbursed for temporary quarters occupancy since the Fedeal <ravel Regula- tion requires that the period of temporary qtarters for which a claim is made must begin within 30 days of,, the date a transferred employee reports for duty at the 'new duty station. However, if we conclude that Mrs. Bonds is entitled to reim- bursement for the first 60 days, the agency asks whether she may be paid for any part of the additional 60 days since thare is nothing in the record to show that she made any attempt to seek permanent quarters in the vicinity of her new duty station.l/ 1/ Decision requested by Ms. Susan C. Lauga, Authorized Certifying Officer, National Finance Center, USDA, case reference FSD-l WDM.
