DiMare DIGEST: An employee stationed in California appeals the settlement which denied certain per diem and transportation expenses incident to his temporary duty travel to Florida, where travel was by an indirect route and reimbursement was based on constructive travel by a direct route. Denial of the employee's claim for addi- tional meal and lodging expenses is sus- tained, since there is no authority to pay subsistence expenses where travel by an indirect route increases traveltime or where the employee is in an annual leave status when the expenses are incurred. Although the employee may not be reim- bursed for a rental car on days when no official business is performed, he may be reimbursed for allowable transportation not to exceed the cost of the rental car. Mr. Vincent L. DiMare has appealed the settlement dis- allowing certain per diem and travel expenses incurred while performing temporary duty in Florida where travel was by an indirect route and reimbursement was based on constructive travel by a direct route.1 We hold that Mr. DiMare may be reimbursed for some of the claimed expenses which were pre- viously disallowed. BACKGROUND Mr. DiMare, an employee of the Department of the Air Force whose duty station is Sacramento, California, was authorized temporary duty at Tyndall AFB, Florida, from February 9 to 11, 1982, with February 8 as a travel day. 1 In a letter dated May 13, 1983, Mr. DiMare requested review of the action of Claims Group, AFMD, in Settlement No. Z-2846559, issued April 29, 1983.
