 MATTER OF:     Quinea D. Minton


 DIGEST:

     1. Transferred federal employees are
         normally ineligible for reimbursement of
         temporary quarters subsistence expenses
         incurred while renting their permanent
         residence following its sale at their old
         duty station, but they may qualify for
         reimbursement if they establish that an
         intent to vacate the home existed prior
         to rental. Hence, a transferred employee
         who provided information showing that he
         planned to move on the day before the
         sale of his home, but was delayed by the
         government's inability to locate a mover,
         established sufficient intent to vacate
         to qualify for reimbursement of subsis-
         tence expenses incurred during the tempo-
         rary rental of his old residence after
         its sale.

     2. The relocation entitlements of trans-
         ferred federal employees are governed by
         the regulations in effect at the time the
         relocation transactions occur. An au-
         thorization specifying 30 days' temporary
         quarters subsistence expenses for a
         transferred employee may therefore be
         extended up to 60 days due to the
         issuance of new regulations effective
         prior to the employee's transfer date.

     A U.S. Department of Agriculture employee claims
temporary quarters subsistence expenses for the period in
which he and his spouse rented and occupied their permanent
residence at their old duty station after it had been
sold.1/  Because the employee intended to vacate the
