Claim for Subsistence Allowances and Loan Fee

A transferred employee claimed reimbursement for temporary quarters expenses for continuing to occupy his old residence after household goods were removed. Since the old residence was not vacated within the meaning of the regulations, the claim for temporary expenses was not allowed. The employee also claimed reimbursement for a loan fee he paid to obtain a mortgage on his new residence. The loan fee was not reimbursable since it was considered a finance charge.
