MATTER


DIGEST:


OF:   Ernest E. Gray - Temporary Quarters Subsistence
      Allowance Dual Rate Reimbursement Limitation

  Navy employee transferred from Guam, to
  San Diego, California, moved into temporary
  quarters on Guam, at a temporary quarters
  maintenance allowance based on $49 per day,
  prior to travel to San Diego where he moved
  into temporary quarters with allowance
  based on $35 per day. Employee errone,usly
  contends that Joint Travel Regulations (JTR)
  provide that initial allowance rate should
  be utilized to compute his allowance regard-
  less where temporary quarters are located.
  However, Navy correctly interpreted JTP by
  establishing dual allowance rates of $49
  for Guam and $35 for San Diego.


     This action is in response to letters dated November 22, 1976,
file symbol MT;GA:tez, from the Central Disbursing Officer, Navy
Regional Finance Center, Sar. Diego, requesting aa advance decision
on a reclaim voucher submitted by Mr. Ernest E. Gray, a civilian
employee of the Unitad States Navy, for temporary quarters subsia-
tence expenses he incurred while in temporary quarters at San Diego,
California.

     Mr. Gray performed permanent change of station travel from
Guam to San Diego, California, under permanent change of station
orders which authorized a temporary quarters subsistence allowance
for 60 days.  While at Guam,,the employee and his dependents
vacated their permanent residence and occupied temporary quarters
on November 6, 1975, and remained there until November 17, 1975,
when they departed for the continental United States. They
arrived in San Diego on the same date and immedtately occupied
temporary quarters, where they remained until permanent quarters
ware occupied on January 17, 1976.

     Payment to Mr. Gray for temporary quarters subsistence expenses
covering the first 10-day period of November 6-15, 1975, was limited
to 75 percent of the $49 per diem *.te authorized for Guam. For the
first 2 days, November 16-17, 1975, of the second 10-day period,
