Decision



Matterof:  William E. Gray - Temporary Quarters Subsistence
            Expenses
File:      B-223314

Date:       June 30, 1987


DIGEST

An employee was transferred to his temporary duty site and
continued to reside in the same housing he had occupied while
on temporary duty. He may not be allowed temporary quarters
subsistence expenses because, under paragraph 2-5.2c of the
Federal Travel Regulations, those expenses are payable only
if an employee has vacated the residence he was occupying at
the time of his transfer. However, his indebtedness may be
considered for waiver.


DECISION

The issue in this decision is whether temporary quarters
subsistence expenses may be paid to Mr. William E. Gray,
an employee of the Department of Health and Human Services,
Social Security Administration (SSA), who was transferred
to his temporary duty site and continued to reside in the
same housing he had occupied while on temporary duty.i/
We hold that Mr. Gray is not entitled to temporary quarters
subsistence expenses because he did not vacate the resi-
dence he was occupying at the time of his transfer, as
required by paragraph 2-5.2c of the Federal Travel Regula-
tions (Supp. 4, August 23, 1982), incorp, by ref., 41 C.F.R.
S 101-7.003 (1985) (FTR). However, the $3,429.82 already
paid to Mr. Gray may be considered for waiver under 5 U.S.C.
S 5584 (1982 & Supp. III 1985).

BACKGROUND

Effective January 7, 1985, Mr. Gray, a Social Insurance
Representative Supervisor stationed in Chicago, Illinois,
