Expenses File: B-226015 Date: April 25, 1988 DIGEST 1. An employee, who transferred to a new duty station, occupied a motel room as temporary quarters for a 2-week period.

Pleines, Director, Division of Finance, Social Security Administration (SSA), Department of Health and Human Services, for a decision as to whether a travel voucher submitted by Ms. Saundra J. Samuels may be certified for payment. Her claim is for reimbursement of temporary quarters subsistence expenses incident to a permanent change of official station. For the reasons stated below,
