William B Hendricks - Temporary duty and
changef/of9itation allowancesj

An employee whose dependents reside with
him in a leased apartment at temporary
duty location may not be denied actual
subsistence expenses merely because he
does not maintain residence at permanent
duty station. Rent may be reimbursed as a
cost of lodging without reduction for fact
that apartment was larger than employee
alone needed. Costs of rental furniture
not in excess of employee's own needs may
be reimbursed as cost of lodging.


                  2. Where dependents had resided with employee
                      at the temporary duty site but were living
                 -    elsewhere at date employee was notified of
                      transfer to temporary duty location, the
                      employee is entitled to be reimbursed for
                      their transportation to new duty station
                      in an amount not to exceed the cost of the
                      dependents' transportation from the old to
                      the new duty station. Similarly, expenses
                      for transportation of household goods from
                      place of storage may be reimbursed in amount
                      not to exceed cost of transporting goods
                      between old and new station.

                  3. Temporaryquarters allowance may not be
                      paid to an employee who, prior to transfer,
                      had been detailed to area of new duty sta-
                      tion where he and his family continued to
                      occupy a rental apartment in which they had
                      resided during detail. Neither the employee
                      nor his family vacated residence in which
                      they were residing at the time the transfer
                      was authorized.
