[Decision Concerning IRS Employee's Disallowed Claim for Temporary Quarters Expenses]

An Internal Revenue Service employee claimed reimbursement for temporary quarters expenses for leases of single family dwellings incident to two transfers. GAO held that the claimant was not entitled to reimbursement, since he made no attempt to secure short-term leases or show his intent or efforts to locate permanent quarters. Accordingly, the claim was denied.
