           Decision



                     Angelo N. Grandelli - Relocation - Temporary
           Matterof: Quarters Expenses - Children by Prior Marriage

           File:     B-226937.3

           Date:     June 22, 1989

           DIGEST

           Agency authorized 60 days temporary quarters subsistence
           expenses (TQSE) for transferred employee, his wife, and four
           children including two by prior marriage. After employee
           reported at new duty station, wife and four children entered
           temporary quarters at old station. Agency denied TQSE for
           two children of prior marriage because they did not join
           employee at new duty station following 60-day temporary
           quarters period. Employee's claim for their expenses is
           allowed because they were members of his household when he
           reported at new duty station and remained so for full
           60 days. Their subsequent failure to join him at new duty
           station does not defeat his entitlement to authorized TQSE.
           See Federal Travel Regulations, paragraphs 2-1.4d and
           2-5.2c.
