Duffy DIQEST: 1. Employee who traveled by a longer route and did not travel 300 miles per day in connec- tion with a permanent change of station explains that the route and delay resulted from his wife's illness. The agency may reimburse the employee on the basis of the mileage and time claimed if they determine that the employee has explained to their satisfaction the reasons for the alternate route and delay. 2. An agency is responsible for determining the reasonableness of meal and miscellaneous expenses claimed during a temporary quarters subsistence expense period. The medical condition of a transferred employee's wife should be taken into account to the extent restaurant meals were required and criteria used to determine reasonableness of expenses based on restaurant meals rather than meals taken in the temporary lodging was appropriate. 3. Indications that a transferred employee's wife was ill prior to their occupancy of temporary quarters does not preclude the possibility that the subsequent extension of authority to stay in temporary quarters was precipitated by circumstances occurring during the initial period as the regulations require. An extension documented some time after the fact based upon an assertion of timely verbal approval will support payment for the additional temporary quarters subsis- tence allowance period. This decision is in response to a request from the Department of Health and Human Servicesl/ for our decision 1/ The request, dated October 15, 1985, was sent by Robert A. Carlisle, an authorized certifying officer in HHS' Region X, Seattle, Washington. 1, J
