John 0. Randall - Temporary Quarters
Stbsistence Expenses


Transferred employee wan denied
reimbursement for family's tem-
porary quarters subnistence ex-
penses becmause circu-mstancen of
family's roturn to former resi-
dence showed lack of intent to
vacate,  Employee is entitled to
temporary quarters subsistence ex-
penses for himself and his family
for period after family rejoined
employee since objective evidence
shows family's intent to vacate
former residence at that time,


     The issue to be decided is the entitlement of the
employee to reimbursement for temporary quarters subsis-
tence expenses for himself and his gamily at the employee's
new duty station when the employee maintained a residence

titled to temporary quarters subsiatence expenses at the
new duty station sin-e he had vacated his former residence
within the meaning of the applicable regulations.

     This decision is in response to a request from
Mr. II. Stanton Oster, Jr., Director of Finance, Oak Ridge
Operations, Department of Energy(DOE), for our opinion con-
cerning the entitlement of Mr. John 0. Randall to temporary
quarters subsistence expenses under the following circum-

reporting date of December 4, 1979. He traveled to Oak
Ridge on December 2 and December 3 and occupied a one-cedroom
apartment at his new duty station. Mr. Randall's wife and
two daughters joined him at the apartment in Oak Ridge on
March 6, 1980, and stayed until April 4, 1980, at which time
they returned to their home in Jacksonville. Mr. Rarndall's
claim for temporary quarters subsistence expenses for this
