MATTER OF: Robert C. Woolfork


DIGEST:

        Employee transferred to the Defense
        Contract Administration Services Region,
        Los Angeles, California, may not be reim-
        bursed for temporary quarters and subsist-
        ence expenses incurred more than 6 months
        after he reported for duty at his new
        official station. Since the employee's
        family did not vacate the residence at his
        old duty station, his claim for reimburse-
        ment must begin within 30 days following
        his arrival at the new duty station.

     Mr. Robert C. Woolfork, an employee of the Defense
Logistics Agency at Lamoore, California, was transferred to
Downey, California, reporting for duty at his new duty
station on February 16, 1982, with relocation expense au-
thorized. He requested a travel advance of $812, which was
paid on June 4, 1982. When he did not file a travel voucher
within the required time, payroll deductions began on Novem-
ber 11, 1982, to recover the advance. On November 29, 1982,
he submitted a voucher claiming temporary quarters subsist-
ence expenses in the amount of $931.50 which were incurred
during the period September 17 to October 16, 1982. The
agency disallowed Mr. Woolfork's claim on the basis that he
had not occupied temporary quarters within the time allowed.

     At Mr. Woolfork's request the agency has asked for a
decision as to his entitlement to temporary quarters
expenses.!/ It is his contention that he was delayed from
occupying temporary quarters because his travel advance was
not processed until June 1982 and that the regulations
requiring occupancy of temporary quarters within 30 days


1/  This decision was requested by the Chief, Accounting
    and Finance Division, Office of the Comptroller, Defense
    Logistics Agency. It was forwarded through the Per
    Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee and
    assigned PDTATAC Control No. 85-28.
