B-222338 1 (1986-11-25)

handle is hein.gao/gaobadmny0001 and id is 1 raw text is: The Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Robert E. Long File: B-222338 Date: November 25, 1986 DIGEST 1. Under the Federal Travel Regulations, claims by trans- ferred Government employees for temporary quarters subsis- tence expenses must be for a period beginning no later than (1) 30 days after they report for duty at their new duty station or (2) 30 days after they vacate their permanent residence at their old duty station, whichever is later. In this case, a transferred employee vacated his residence at his old duty station in Biloxi, Mississippi, and subsequently reported for duty at his new station in Richmond, Virginia,- on April 9, 1980. He may not be allowed temporary quarters subsistence expenses commencing on July 13, 1980, based on a visit made by his estranged wife to Richmond beginning on that date, since by then the eligibility period prescribed by regulation for such expenses had elapsed. In addition, he is not entitled to miscellaneous relocation expenses at the immediate-family rate of $200 because his wife was not in his household. 2. An employee rented a room in the Veterans Administration hospital where he worked following his transfer from Biloxi, Mississippi, to Richmond, Virginia, in 1980. He continued the rental during his entire stay at the new duty station, and his claim for temporary quarters subsistence expenses based on his occupancy of the room was initially denied because it appeared that the room had been his permanent residence rather than temporary quarters. He has produced new evidence that after occupying the room from April 9 to August 11, 1980, he moved into a permanent residence to which he transported his household goods from temporary storage, and that he kept the room at the hospital thereafter simply for occasional use. Consequently, in these particular circumstances the rented room may be considered to be temporary quarters rather than a permanent residence, and he is eligible for 30 days' temporary quarters subsistence expenses beginning within 30 days of April 9, 1980, when he reported for duty at the new duty station and began occupancy of the room.
