handle is hein.gao/gaobadmep0001 and id is 1 raw text is: THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL ONCISION Op THE UNITED UTATED WASHNGTON. 0. C. 20548 FILE: B-220288 DATE: February 19, 1986 MATTER OF: Laurence R. Sanders DIGEST: Employee of the Department of Energy was transferred incident to a permanent change of station from Colorado to Washington, D.C. Employee was authorized temporary quarters allowance for family including authorization for dependent mother to stay in Ada, Oklahoma, until she joined the family in Washington. Due to illness, dependent mother was placed in a nursing home in New Mexico until she joined the family in Washington a few months later. Since nursing home expenses incurred would not have been incurred absent the trans- fer, the occupancy of such quarters may be regarded as reasonably related and inci- dent to the transfer and, therefore, may be paid pursuant to FTR para. 2-5.2(d). This action is in response to a request for an advance decision from the Department of Energy regarding whether an employee may be reimbursed for temporary quarters for his dependent mother who lived temporarily in a nursing home when he underwent a permanent change-of-station transfer.i/ For the reasons stated hereafter, we conclude that reim- bursement may be allowed. Mr. Laurence R. Sanders, an employee of the Department of Energy, was authorized travel expenses pursuant to a permanent change of station to Washington, D.C., from Grand Junction, Colorado. Mr. Sanders was authorized temporary quarters for himself and his family and he was authorized temporary quarters for his mother in Ada, Oklahoma. Mr. Sanders' mother-in-law lived in Ada, Oklahoma, and was to have given his mother the requisite care needed, until Mr. Sanders' mother could join the family in Washington. 1/ The request was made by V. Joseph Startari, Authorized Certifying Officer, Department of Energy, Washington, D.C.
