Temporary Quarters File: B-235402 Date: November 9, 1989 DIGEST An employee, who is occupying temporary quarters and who must perform temporary duty away from the permanent duty station, may be reimbursed for the lodging expenses portion of her temporary quarters subsistence expenses as well as lodging expenses at the temporary duty station, provided the agency determines the employee acted reasonably in retaining the temporary quarters. Paul G. Thibault, B-232503, dated today. DECISION This decision is in response to a request from Conrad R. Hoffman, Director, Office of Budget and Finance (Con- troller), Veterans Administration (VA), concerning a VA employee who claimed reimbursement for lodging expenses for her temporary quarters during the period she was away from her duty station on temporary duty. For the reasons stated below, we conclude that the lodging expenses may be reimbursed as temporary quarters expenses. BACKGROUND Dr. Nancy A. Coldeway, an employee of the VA, transferred to Washington, D.C., effective November 19, 1987, and she rented temporary quarters on a month-to-month basis in Washington. During the first 30-day period, Dr. Coldeway traveled to Minneapolis on official business for 2 days (December 15 and 16, 1987). Dr. Coldeway claimed reimburse- ment for lodging and subsistence expenses for the official travel, as well as lodging expenses for the temporary quarters during the 2-day travel period. The VA denied reimbursement for the lodging expenses portion of the temporary quarters subsistence expenses during that period on the basis that temporary quarters lodging expenses cannot be claimed on days for which an employee receives payment kc/ ,33
