MATTER   OF:


Robert V. Brown - Temporary quarters
subsistence expenses


09049,1


DIGEST:


Department of Defense employee given
training assignment at a location other than
his then permanent station, may not be reim-
bursed temporary quarters subsistence ex-
penses as an incidence of training. However,
because the training assignment in his par-
ticular case was to be followed by transfer to
a new duty station and because selection for
training was tantamount to notice of transfer,
employee may be paid expenses for occupancy
of temporary quarters at the training location
as incident to the ultimate permanent change
of station.


    Mr. Robert V. Brown, a Department of the Air Force
employee, has appealed the decision reached in Transpor-
tation and Claims Division (now Claims Division) Settlement
Certificate No. Z-2507390, October 17, 1974, denying his
claim for a temporary quarters subsistence expenses allowance.

    On July 19, 1971, Mr. Brown was issued permanent
change of station orders directing him to travel from his then
permanent duty station in Weisbaden, Germany, to Maxwell Air
Force Base, Alabama.  Among  other entitlements, Mr. Brown
was thereby authorized temporary quarters subsistence ex-
penses for himself and his five dependents for 30 days. Having
occupied temporary quarters with his family at Maxwell Air
Force Base during the period from August 13, 1971, through
September 11, 1971, the employee was subsequently paid a
temporary quarters subsistence expenses allowance in the
amount of $1, 678. 33. On February 17, 1972, the July orders
were amended to clarify the fact that the assignment to Maxwell
Air Force Base was not a change in permanent duty stations but
was instead for the purpose of long-term, full-time training.
Based on correction of his orders, Mr. Brown was eventually
found to be indebted to the Government for the $1, 678. 33 tem-
porary quarters subsistence expenses allowance paid to him.
Of the total amount of that indebtedness, $324. 58 has been
collected by the Air Force.
