DECISION


FILE: B-195506

MATTER OF:


DIGEST:


THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
OF THE UNITED STATES
WASHINGTON. 0. C. 20546
                                   728


   DATE: October 26, 1979

- Temporary Quarters


Allowance


After reporting to his new duty station and beginning
occupancy of temporary quarters, employee was absent
from station for 14 days while on annual leave. He
may be paid a temporary quarters allowance for the
days he was on ahnual leave absent any indication
that his taking of leave caused an unwarranted exten-
sion of the period of his occupancy of temporary
quarters. The fact that the employee was away from
his old or new duty station or that he was on annual
leave is not determinative of his entitlement.


     This 'action is in response to a request for a decision by
Virginia G. Leist, an authorized certifying officer of the Internal
Revenue Service, regarding payment of. the reclaim voucher of
             for a portion of the temporary quarters allowance which
was withheld by the fiscal management branch.            claimed
temporary quarters in connection with a permanent change of duty
station.

     The record reveals that           was transferred from Corbin,
Kentucky, to Louisville, Kentucky., where he reported to duty on
June 25, 1978. Although            began to occupy temporary
quarters within thirty days thereafter, he was on temporary duty
until August 18, 1978, and chose to claim temporary quarters sub-
sistence expenses beginning on that date. He took. annual leave
in New York from August 18 until August 26, and from September 1
to September 5, he was on annual leave in Atlanta. The running of
'the 30-day period for occupancy of temporary quarters was suspended
'from September 6 to September 29, while he again was assigned to
temporary duty. The certifying officer has paid            a
temporary quarters allowance for the period from August 18 to
October 10, exclusive of the 24 days of temporary duty, but denied
temporary quarters subsistence expenses for the periods from August 18
to 25, and September 1 to 5, when he was on annual leave in different
cities.
