Wilton - Temporary Quarters Allowance DIGEST: Transferred employee.and his family stayed at motel at new station from June 22, to July 3, 1974, when he moved into rented house which employee purchased. Fact that settlement was not made on rented house until August 9, 1974, does not entitle employee to tem- porary quarters expenses allowance after he occupied house until July 21, 1974, since record indicates that he intended to occupy house permanently after he moved in. This decision concerns a request by Senator Frank Church dated August 18, 1975, on behalf of Neill D. Wilton for recon- sideration of the disallowance by our Transportation and Claims Division of Mr. Wilton's claim for temporary quarters expenses allowance incident to a transfer of station.

He states, in addition, that a definition of temporary quarters would save unnecessary confusion in cases similar to his. The record shows that pursuant to Travel Order No. 16164039., dated June 3, 1974, Mr. Wilton was transferred from Lincoln, Nebraska, to Boise, Idaho. In connection with this transfer Mr. Wilton was authorized temporary quarters subsistence expenses. Upon arrival in Boise, Idaho, Mr. Wilton and his family stayed at a motel from June 22, 1974, until July 3, 1974, when they moved into a residence on a rental basis. Mr. Wilson purchased this same residence and settlement took place on August 9, 1974. The
