  MATTER OF: Michael H. Turner


  DIGEST:
           A transferred employee may not be
           reimbursed for the temporary quarters
           and subsistence expenses incurred by
           his family on periodic visits to the
           new duty station while still occupying
           the family residence at the old duty
           station. The Federal Travel Regula-
           tions require that an employee's
           family vacate the former residence
           in order to be eligible for temporary
           quarters and subsistence expenses.

     The issue in this decision is whether an employee
occupying temporary quarters at a new duty station may be

members who, while still maintaining their former residence,
visit him at the new duty station. Family members are not
entitled to subsistence expenses while at the new duty sta-
tion when they have not vacated the family residence at the
old duty station.1

temporary quarters and subsistence expenses. The voucher
which is returned may not be paid.
