THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON, D.C. 20s4e dc FILE: B-194065 DATE: June 8, 1979 MATTER OF: Kenne . awford - Temporary Quarters Subsistence Expensef DIGEST Employee's family moved into their residence at new duty station prior to employee's departure from his old duty station and prior to arrival of their house- hold goods. His family ate their meals in restaurants. Notwithstanding that use of a motel would have been more costly to the Government, he may not be reimbursed expenses for family's meals. They occupied residence in which they intended to remain and therefore their quarters were not temporary so ast entitle employee to reimbursement. zqeffA 4V Mr. Kenneth C. Crawford, an employee of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric ANistrL fNAA) ,has requeste that NOAA submit his claim for temporary quarters subsistence expenses to this Office for decision. The record shows that Mr. Crawford was transferred from New Orleans, Louisiana, to Fort Worth, Texas, pursuant to orders approved on September 18, 1978. Since he knew of his selection and had given his oral acceptance of the position in Forth Worth on August 24, 1978, his family departed early for Texas in order that his children could start the new school year there. Mr. Crawford's family arrived in Bedford, Texas, on August 28, 1978, and took up residence in a home which Mr. Crawford had owned for 3 years. Mr. Crawford could not be released from his old position in New Orleans until October and his household goods were not moved from New Orleans until September 28, 1978. Mr. Crawford claims temporary quarters subsistence expenses for the meals consumed by his family in Bedford from August 28, 1978, until September 27, 1978. The National Oceanic and Atmos- pheric Administration denied his claim on the grounds that his home was not temporary quarters as required by the regulations. See Para. 2-5.2f of the Federal Travel Regulations. (FPMR 101-7, May 1973).
