Vallarian emporary Quarters .-iL. Subsistence Allowance DIGEST: Employee is entitled to reimbursement for cost of groceries for family members as temporary quarters sub- sistence since old residence was vacated even though household goods. were Left there when family members temporarily moved in with employee's mother-in-law at old duty station. Moreover, family vacated residence since care for premature baby in it would have de- layed its sale. Also, employee is allowed meal costs incident to visit to family at mother-in-law's home while in nonduty status away from-his temporary lodgings at his new station. Mr. Edwin J. Fost, Chief, Accounting Section, Drug Enforce- r#3C ment Administration, Department of Justice, asks whether reclaim voucher of Mr. Ronald L. Vallarian is payable. The voucher claims the cost of groceries for his family ($136.50) and meal costs for himself only ($49) as temporary quarters subsistence allowance incident to a transfer. The principal issue is whether Mr. Vallarian and his family can be considered to have vacated their permanent residence at Mr. Vallarian's old duty station as required for entitlement to temporary quarters subsistence allowance because the residence was not sold and their furniture remained in it. A secondary issue is whether Mr. Vallarian may be reimbursed the cost of his.meals while visiting his family at the old station. Mr. Vallarian's permanent change of station from Memphis, Tennessee, to Jackson, Mississippi, was completed on October 3, 1977, when he reported at his new duty station. He moved into temporary quarters .upon hisarrival in Jackson and claimed tempo- rary quarters subsistence allowance for the period between October 3 and November 5, 1977, except for 4 days when he was away from Jackson on temporary duty. The expenses at issue are $136.50 for groceries purchased for his wife and two sons while they stayed with his mother-in-law at the old duty station in Memphis, as well as $49 meal costs spent for Mr. Vallarian on days he returned from Jackson to visit his family in Memnobnis
