Reimbursement for Temporary Quarters Expenses for Immediate Family

An advance decision was requested regarding an employee's claim for reimbursement of temporary quarters expenses for his immediate family incident to his transfer to a new official duty station. The employee reported to his new station in September 1974 and rented an apartment for his own use. His immediate family vacated the residence at his old station and joined him for a few days in February 1975. During the month of March 1975, his family occupied temporary quarters over 200 miles from his official station where the employee made settlement on a new home on March 31, 1975. The employee was not entitled to temporary quarters expenses for his family since the family did not occupy temporary quarters in connection with an intended move to his new station.
