FILE: B-199388                DATE: February 26, 1981
MATTER OF:    Earle B. Amey --41aim for Tempo ary

                Quarters Subsistence Expenses

DIGEST:

     Employee, who transferred to new duty
     station, occupied temporary quarters
     and was joined by his family during
     second 10-day period of temporary
     quarters at new station. He claims
     reimbursement for them based upon
     higher rate applicable during first
     10-day period. Claim is denied since
     regulations governing temporary quar-
     ters provide for reimbursement based
     on 10-day periods beginning when either
     employee or a family member first
     occupies temporary quarters, irre-
     spective of when other family members
     begin to occupy temporary quarters.

     The issue in this case is whether, incident to
a transfer, an employee who preceded his family may
claim reimbursement for his family for temporary
quarters subsistence expenses at the rate for the
first 10-day period when the family begins occupying
temporary quarters during the second 10-day period
of his occupancy. We hold that the employee is
limited to the rate applicable for each 10-day period
of temporary quarters occupancy, irrespective of
when his family members begin occupying temporary
quarters.

     Mr. Lorin D. Anderson, Chief, Branch of Finance,
Bureau of Mines, U.S. Department of the Interior,
has requested our decision concerning the claim of
Mr. Earle B. Amey, an employee of the Bureau of
Mines, for additional reimbursement for temporary
quarters subsistence expenses in connection with
his transfer from Boulder City, Nevada, to Washington,
D.C. Mr. Amey preceded his family to the riew duty
station and he was reimbursed for 10 days of temporary
quarters subsistence expenses at the rate applicable
