Highlights

An advance decision was requested as to whether a General Services Administration employee, who was occupying temporary quarters at a new duty station, could be reimbursed for the subsistence expenses incurred by family members who visited him at the new duty station while still maintaining their former residence. Transferred employees may be authorized temporary quarters and subsistence expenses for themselves and members of their immediate family. However, to be eligible for reimbursement of these expenses, the employee's family must have vacated the residence in which they resided when transfer was authorized. Since the employee's family continued to occupy their residence at the old duty station and only visited the employee periodically at the new duty station, the expenses the family incurred while visiting could not be reimbursed as part of his temporary quarters and subsistence expenses allowance.
