C. 20548 l DATE: October 2, 1984 ichard E. Garofalo - Reimbursement f Lodging Expenses. An employee returned to his old duty station to perform duties there, 3 days after he was transferred to a new per- manent duty station. Since employee was at new station for 3 days and tem- porary duty travel authorization was not issued until after he arrived at new station for duty, he effected a permanent change-of-station transfer and duty thereafter performed at his old duty station is to be regarded as temporary duty for expense reimburse- ment purposes. 2. An employee, who performed temporary duty travel to old permanent duty station, asserts a claim for lodging expenses incident to that duty. The burden of proof is on the claimant to establish the liability of the United States and his right to receive pay- ment. The employee here may not be reimbursed for the expenses claimed based on the present record since the documents submitted are inconsistent and do not convincingly support the claim. However, the Navy may allow payment if the claimant submits ade- quate additional documentation. This decision is in response to a letter from Mr. Richard E. Garofalo. He is appealing a settlement by our Claims Group, dated June 23, 1983, which disallowed his claim for reimbursement of per diem and actual subsist- ence expenses incurred by him incident to duty which he performed in Newport, Rhode Island, during the period October 22, 1981, to January 22, 1982. The basis for the disallowance was a finding that he was not in a temporary duty status during the period in question, because Newport, Rhode Island, was found to be his permanent duty station.
