Schluck - Temporary quarters subsistence expenses - Vacating residence at old duty station DIGEST: Employee's family joined him in temporary quarters at his new duty station for 10 days, but, due to the unexpected canceling of a contract for the purchase of a new home at his new duty station, returned to and oc- cupied their former residence pending the purchase of another home. Since the record shows objective evidence of his family's intent to vacate their former residence when they joined him at his new duty station, the employee is entitled to temporary quarters subsistence expenses for his family under para. 2-5.2 of the Federal Travel Regulations for the 10-day period. The issue presented is whether an employee may be reimbursed temporary quarters subsistence expenses for his family where they joined him in temporary quarters at his new duty station for 10 days, but then moved back into the family home at his old duty station pending the purchase of a new home. Mr. Patrick T. Schluck, an employee of the Internal Revenue Service, was authorized relocation expenses, including 30 days temporary quarters, for his move from Greenville, Mississippi, to Houston, Texas. His reporting date in Houston was June 2, 1980. His family subsequently joined him in Houston where he had entered into a contract for the purchase of a house which was to be ready for occupancy sometime prior to July 15, 1980. While awaiting availability of this house, the Schluck family occupied temporary quarters in Houston for a 10-day period commenc- ing June 24, 1980. However, on July 4, 1980, Mr. Schluck's family returned to their former residence in Greenville after Mr. Schluck canceled the contract for the house in in Houston. He explained that this action was necessary because his wife discovered the house was too small to provide suitable living quarters for the family. Mr. Schluck purchased a second home in Houston on July 2, 1980. This house was not available for occupancy until August 1, 1980. T, feze~ lee% 0 YA-0 SA r Ac ~~~~~ LLo{ 4~o~t
