Dudley--Transferred Employee-- Temporary Quarters Subsistence Expense File: B-226122 Date: March 8, 1988 DIGESTS When transferred federal employees can demonstrate a reasonable need, temporary quarters subsistence expenses (TQSE) may be paid for periods prior to the moving day at the old permanent residence and after the delivery day of household goods at the new permanent residence. Hence, an employee of the National Security Agency who was transferred from Ottawa, Canada, to Fort Meade, Maryland, may be allowed TQSE for his use of a hotel in Ottawa prior to the time his household goods were picked up at his old residence there, if he can demonstrate to the agency that the residence was unavoidably rendered uninhabitable prior to that time because of the packing of his furniture. The employee was also properly allowed TQSE for an additional night's tempo- rary lodgings following the delivery of his household goods in Maryland because the delivery was made late in the day and without advance notice, and in those circumstances the employee could neither move into his new residence immedi- ately nor avoid being charged for staying an additional night at his hotel. DECISION An employee of the National Security Agency upon transfer to a new duty station may be paid temporary quarters sub- sistence expenses for the days he resided in temporary commercial lodgings before his household goods were picked up from his residence at the old duty station only upon a showing that the temporary lodgings were reasonably necessary. _/ 1/ Mr. Albert Depetro, Finance and Accounting Officer, Rational Security Agency, Ft. Meade, Maryland, requested our decision.
